Look on Craigslist/Nextdoor/FBMarketplace for a beater of a laptop with a discrete GPU. I'm in CHI area and see options like T510 and E6430, each for right around a hundo, along with a few antique tower desktops.
If you are just itching to try some Stable Diffusion, consider if a virtual pc is good enough... You could scratch that itch right now for pocket change.

Good luck on your quest!
