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.
