I would instead look into old Chromeboxes. They have about the same compute but don’t have a battery and can typically run mainline Linux (assuming they are supported by mrchromebox)

You can also buy refurbished Lenovo Thinkstation TinyPCs. These are low-power, small and quiet.

True but if you look online Chrome OS devices are dirt cheap. The major trade off is that storage is limited

300 EUR for refurbished devices with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD is very reasonable.

300 EUR is a lot of money depending on who you are
