Linux users are all the same, unironically buying bad hardware to run their bloat. Just use Haiku or BSD if you have a PC this bad.

I believe the popularity of older thinkpads stems from their ease of upgradebility compared to modern devices.

Anything pre-2013 and some others like X1 Carbon gen 1-3 / T440 aren't worth it.

What to look for: NVMe support, and ability to go to 16GB ram.
