I like used Thinkpads. I bought a T430s off eBay and used it for several years. Recently I got a T570 from work. It had a screen issue, so I bought a new screen. That didn’t fix it so I bought a new mobo, but it has a loose drive connector so won’t boot. Just now I killed it for good by putting an nvme in a sata slot lol.

Anyway, I need another laptop and I don’t want to buy something new. The t570 did everything I needed it to, but I’m concerned about the design/build quality. What Thinkpads are people running these days that aren’t very old but still solid?

      Right on. If I was buying new, I’d be looking at Framework or Tuxedo.

          Yeah I can’t really justify the cost right now either. If I was more patient, I could just wait until we retire another Thinkpad at work :p

      Yup, Framework 16 highly tempting, that 8xOculink project is awesome. I’m usually a firm believer in out of contract business models, but this…
