There isn't such a list. The only list that is maintained by Tails is a

It could be easier to look for a list of laptops that work flawlessly
with Debian and has at least 1GB of RAM. Then they should work with Tails.

The other day I used Tails on a Acer Aspire One D270 that you can find
for less than 250 €. But maybe you're thinking of even cheaper notebooks.
