What ThinkPad/Latitude models are cheap and usable right now? I'm just looking for something to browse the web, but not something so low-spec that it couldn't handle heavier desktop environments.
I got a refurbished HP Elitebook for under $500 that had 500 gb nvme and 16 gb ram, core i5 gen 8 processor from Woot. Still had part of the original warranty as well as a one year one from the refurb company. Runs great, no dents or wear. Can do Windows 11 if you ever had to. I personally have had good success with HP Pro/Elite/Z lines vs Lenovo in just not having random problems. Main problem is if you let them get too dead battery wise but it could be replaced since it’s easy to open usually. We have hundreds of them in use for years and not much issues. Seen more problems on Lenovos in a business setting even brand new expensive ones.
