what they said but don’t go below T480; the performance jump is huge (quad vs dual-core) and the price difference is negligible while almost everything is interchangeable (screens, keyboards, cards, plastic parts, dock stations, etc.).
T480 should be attainable around the $/€ 200 mark nowadays as they’re 5-6 gens behind and upgrading 'em to like 16 or 32 GB and 1TB NVMe or more is stupid cheap.
Fair point. Some folks are on an ultra tight budget or prefer the older model for various reasons.
But I agree, at $200-$300 used, you can’t really go wrong with the T480. Really nice specs for most use cases, and still fairly repairable and upgradable.
that’s right, the T480 is the best upgradable thinkpad there is, you can even up the ram to 64gb
