TDE works just fine on any RPi >= 3B (I have a RPI400 running TDE + LinuxCNC still in use). Anyway, nowadays even the RPI5 are not a sane choice - any used thinkpad has way more power an "obolete" Windows10 laptops will probably flood the market in some months .. just in case somebody need a red truck to play with :)
I guess you live in an area where people get rid of better laptops than where I live. The last few times I looked at used laptops all the laptops I saw were pretty ancient, and the prices for them were fairly laughable... and not in a good way.
The last time I bought a RPi I did consider a brand new Chromebook (which could be switched to Linux) which was on sale at some place like Best Buy. It was very low end, but still comparable to (at least) an RPi4, and given that it came with storage, power supply, screen, ..., it was arguably a better deal. But I know that the Pis are happy running 24/365 with very modest power needs, and since the Pis I have do run all the time, I went with another Pi in the end.
Gee, I wonder why you can't just find it in the TL? (a little San Franciso reference) Pretty much everything is for sale there ... and not is a good way.
Possibly I could find one there. But being many thousands of kms/miles/lis I don't think it would make sense to go there to find a cheap laptop.
