You can pickup great, used/refurbished X1s on eBay and Amazon for $500–600.

You bet. I snagged an 8th gen for $315, intending to use it as a testing ground for moving from Mac to Linux. Turns out, it's really impressive. But it's not my primary machine.

I'm guessing you'll want a 10th gen or newer.

Framework, System76 could be options as well.

Yep, I switch to Framework and haven't look back since.
