Can anyone recommend me a laptop? (reddthat.com)

I'm looking for a laptop that is very compact in size, and relatively cheap. The more internal storage the better. A detachable keyboard and touchscreen would be nice too but aren't essential.

I plan to install Linux mint on it and just use it for light tasks and file management, so it doesn't need to be too powerful.

If you're open to used or refurbished, take a look at Dell's 5285, 5290, 7200, and 7210 2-in-1 laptops. You might be able to find one in decent condition for around $200 or less. They come with detachable keyboard, touchscreen that supports pen input, Intel 7. thru 10. Gen CPU, and an easily serviceable M.2 2280 SSD and battery.
