Macbook Pro circa 2016-17 and install Linux (unless you need Mac OS then OpenCore Os works). Those machines have great screens, are solid and you can fix some of the internals yourself, as everything wasn't soldered on. And hardware back then was made to last much more than recent things. But honest

Not large scale! At the moment 10-15. Mostly FW 13s. Windows and linux. I've owned (2) FW 13s so far, and love them. My teenage kids each have one with Chrome OS-Flex installed. I've been a Thinkpad guy since T60 days. Working on my x240 just tonight. Lenovo started acting like Apple (soldering in p

A ThinkPad for € 200 with dual RAM slots, dual drive support, and T series build quality, does not exist, when you exclude a T480. You’ll need to compromise somewhere. Between T480 and T14 G5, there are no T series with dual open RAM slots. T14 Gen 1 AMD can support a second 2242 NVMe drive, via its

Main concerns: Both devices are good. Intel T14 g1 is about as good as a T480 (10th gen processors used in Thinkpads are just 8th gen for the most part).
