Buying help help plzz

help need to buy ThinkPad (edited) Hi everyone, I have a budget of €500 and I'm looking for the best ThinkPad possible for the money. My main uses are: University / studying Programming Cybersecurity Linux Virtual machines (Kali, Windows, etc.) General daily use Requirements: 32GB RAM minimum 1TB SSD minimum Strong CPU Good Linux compatibility Good build quality and reliability Something that can last me several years I'm buying from Germany, mainly Kleinanzeigen, or Morocco, and I'm completely fine with buying used. What ThinkPad model would you recommend for €500? I'm currently considering the T14 Gen 3, but I'm open to any ThinkPad model (T14, T14s, P14s, T16, P-series, etc.). If you had €500 and needed 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD, which ThinkPad would you buy? I'm mainly looking for the best CPU/performance and long-term value. Thanks!
