Used lenovo thinkpad is my daily driver.
Mine is from 2011, and I just put mint 20 on it. Runs just fine. I think I paid $125 back in 2017 for it.
Check if you have a tech recycling co-op nearby.
Yeah I still like mine. Just can't use Brave or Signal or just about every software I see because it's all 64-bit now.
The ability to quickly throw different hds/battery/cd drive in the bay is useful and having hardware cuttoff switches too...now that gets plugged like it's state of the art on laptops like the Librems.
