I was originally planning on getting a Surface Pro 11 or other ARM laptop as my next laptop, but one day I was thinking about an old CLEVO P150HM1 which tore everything apart, and outperforms my 2015 T450, while being made in 2009. Needless to say, I got a lot more tolerant of the idea of buying an X86 laptop as my new laptop. I also realised that the price range an SP11 involved also allowed for a Framework Laptop 13. I'm saying all this to not conflict with the rest of my comment history, but in summary: Long live the Framework!
EDIT: This probably won't happen, I've been seeing some γαμάτα deals for newer ThinkPads here lately.
Wait why are you compiling on battery?
power strip died and i hadn't realised.
In what way? My wife plays minecraft with several hundred mods on a (desktop) i5-4560
different cpu. I'm talking about the i5-5300U specifically. Not some other i5 of the era. Also, this doesn't really matter but you're addressing 4th and 6th gen, while the i5-5300U is, obviously, 5th gen.
my experience: power governor on balanced and somehow i'm at like 90c.

well, the i5-5300u definitely is, at least for my use cases. it took so long to compile a diesel-actix rust project that the battery died before it finished (it was at 100%), and it can't even run fucking Minecraft. even a raspberry pi can run Minecraft!

here it's typically early-to-mid 2010s thinkpads being sold, so you're probably getting a laptop with horrible performance
...because HUAWEI doesn't ship their laptops with thermal paste, apparently.
until it gets completely fucked due to a form-over-function cooling system and hits 101C (NBLK-WAX9X)
until you get one with an i5-5300U soldered to the board T~T
