    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.

      Cries in European. Any decent Thinkpad is 2.5k+ and rarely are any discounts. They just don’t care about private consumers over here. Either university students or big companies can get reasonable prices.

      It’s been several years since I ran Windows on any of my laptops. And haven’t run into any CPU issues yet. In my experience if stay away from the slim models and go for the more high-end ones you’re good.
