For some time now I only buy old but in clean condition old thinkpads for laptops
Most of my machines are Thinkpads. I have one running 24/7 non stop since 2015. Have a couple of brand new ThinkPad T16s, damn amazing.
I will never BUY anything other than a ThinkPad when it comes to laptops.
The one that is running continuously since 2015 I paid 150$ canadian for back in 2015. Used.
