You want cheap ThinkPad, you best stop thinking about series.

Cheap ThinkPads (and most of second hand laptops) almost always come from decommissioned laptops after the company upgrades its fleet (Note that, decommission doesn’t mean “not usable”, in fact, it proves the laptops can stand a test of time)

Looking for a specific series of ThinkPad might spike up the price.

Just remember to change the batteries. You’ll be Golden!

I don’t know - but would think what you intended to do with it might factor in.

Are you planning on playing games? What kinds?

Compiling code?

Just using cloud apps in browser?

Use case needed to determine optimal system requirements.

Compiling code and using browser. Maybe play in supertuxcart

It depends what you want in a laptop. I’d say the T480 is a great option because it’s the last in the line without soldered RAM and has a fair amount of upgradability.

That said the T440P can do most of the same stuff but it’s a little less powerful. Though I think you can upgrade the CPU to a degree.

There’s other things as well like if you want to install Libreboot or sometimes people will sell the laptop and the dock together.

I think the best bet for quality/price it’s T480 and T480s models
