I’m thinking of picking up a used ThinkPad on eBay for cheap to serve as my daily driver. I’ll likely run LMDE, and primarily use it for web browsing, office programs, coding, and FreeCAD. Any recommendations on which model would best hit the sweet spot of capability vs price?

    t430 runs great for me but if you need more (stock) performance maybe the t480?

      One-up for a fellow 30s series! Currently rocking a W530 semi-mobile workstation!
