Swappa.com is a good place to get a second hand one

You could use a random one each time and pay cash, but of course they could use facial recognition if you go to the store

Check out Swappa.com for a used laptop.... Got a very good deal on a thinkpad. Almost any laptop will work for what you do except for tinkering with almost everything which is kind of hard to define... Just avoid the Google Chromebooks

Only private if you use gpg... But you still leak metadata
