Excuse me! I would never buy a thinkpad.
Good, keep the prices low for the smart people who do.
low prices
On a Thinkpad!? Unless you're buying a last-generation one that's on clearance, that's a laugh.
homie you can get a t480 for like 150 dollars. For an 8th gen intel mobile chip that's not a bad price.
All in on an older t420 or something you'll be looking fairly similar, including battery, charger, and storage, unless you get a really good deal.
Well yeah I guess if you're buying a used machine from six years ago with millions in existence because tons of businesses bought them it'll be cheap no matter what manufacturer it's from. Thinkpads do hold up better against age than most.
That’s what everyone is talking about. The new ones aren’t that great.
yup
Bro, they cost £300 on Ebay in the UK (a refurbished t480 with an 8th Gen Core i7)
you can routinely find i5 variants here in the US for that price. Im sure the i7 models are more expensive, those are sought after, but frankly as long as the i5 models have 4 cores, they're fine. Last i checked a t480 running a quad core i5 is 75% of my r5 2600, which is more than enough for mild productivity work.
A last generation ThinkPad is still going to be a beast you can get 6-7 years out of. I have a gen2 X1 that was still a beast until the offspring spilled a Coke on it.
why not? They're sick laptops. Just don't buy the new ones, they're cringe.
