My Thinkpad T440p, its a reliable laptop that works amazingly. It may not be the most powerful but the keyboard is amazing and the build quality is better then any modern laptop.
This. Don’t buy consumer laptops. You can get secondhand business laptops that are just as cheap and more durable. You won’t get one with a touchscreen but that’s about it for the downsides.
Lenovo has decent clearance prices around Memorial day for their last gen ThinkPads. Otherwise they’re definitely not worth over 1k new like they pretend.
The problem is that the current generation is literally worthless in between their defective CPUs and pushing the new Windows spyware so I’m not sure the same statement will be true next year.
It’s been several years since I ran Windows on any of my laptops. And haven’t run into any CPU issues yet. In my experience if stay away from the slim models and go for the more high-end ones you’re good.
Cries in European. Any decent Thinkpad is 2.5k+ and rarely are any discounts. They just don’t care about private consumers over here. Either university students or big companies can get reasonable prices.

Also a happy T440p owner. Nice laptop and the keyboard is great.
