Best laptop under €700?
The m1 MacBook Air can be got for under €700 which is a serious enough laptop for the money. I don’t use Mac though I use windows, you’d get a nice X13 series Lenovo Thinkpad tough for that money either. Fairly robust as well as I use mine out in the field.

Why is X13 less popular than T14?
You trade a little functionality for portability. Namely, there is no ethernet port. However, they are really cool! I got my X13 gen 4 in today and it's great.

What’s your favourite way to save money that lots of people don’t know about?
Yep 100%. I bought a well spec'd Lenovo x13 for ~£250 as a business refurb. Still had 2 years left of on-site warranty when it arrived.

I get tired of all the linux jerking on this subreddit so heres windows 11 working perfectly well on a 15 year old thinkpad x201!
The 11th gen i5 of my X13 outperforms the 9th gen i9 of my X1 Xtreme (in single core performance).

I really love the idea of owning thinkpad instead of a mac. The only thing stopping me is the sound quality.
Get a recent one. X1 Carbon Gen 13has fabulous speakers. In comparison older ones (2018 Carbon Gen 6) are way worse to even crappy (X200 from like 2008). The X13 Gen 2 (2021???) has okay-ish (compared to 2015 13.3 MBP and 2015 12 MB). Edit: well, since you have a Mac and you're thinking about a new

Cool club can I join?
Oh wow that's a gorgeous one congratulations. I've got the X13 2-in-1 gen 5 which is all black, but this one with the oled must be a pleasure to use!

PC for teens, need sugestions.
T14 gen 1 or 2 AMD is plenty for highschool. X13 if they want a smaller, MacBook Air, footprint. I will definitely get my sons old laptops and teach them how to maintain and upgrade them when they're older. I used to be a Mac guy but I wouldn't get them on that ecosystem by choice now. I saw another

Why is X13 less popular than T14?
I have no T (tried 480, 480s ant T14 Gen 3) but X (1C and 13) and P (16). 16:10 mandatory and for me surface must be used by (16:10) screen and keyboard: if not, that's a waste of space/weight. Plus the X13 is available in metal and I replaced the panel with a gorgeous 2560x1600 one; I got one from

Is this good for 299€ (345$)?
No. Would not buy an 8th Gen CPU anymore. For that price you're already in the ballpark for T14 Gen 2s, X13 Gen 2s, etc. T480 is an overrated meme.

Which ThinkPad is better to choose?
(for my tastes) T14 gen 2 or X13, amd (better energy efficiency for this generation, the battery, if it's not too worn out, lasts well over 4 hours)
