please tell me what thinkpads to get
I want one for school and one for personal use. On either of them I'll mostly just be reading books and taking notes and social media and whatnot. I have no idea what to get, there's so many options on eBay. Please help me. Should I get 2 different ones or 2 of the same?

The xx30s serices of thinkpads has a much better cpu with a 150% increase in performance with the igpu. Plus you get dx12, vulkan, and offical windows 10 support.

2 for that price is not bad if they are fully working and come with a charger.

thinkpads have ended last decade. There is now no reason to buy one as they don't differ fundamentally from other laptops - everything is soldered on.

Apple however has a massive lead in hardware, the M chips are second to none and the OS is pretty good. Macs are better on every single metric you can come up with.

uprade the ram, wifi, install a ssd plus install linux on it. Also the t420s-t430s doesn't have a replaceable cpu.

Yes the i5 will be just fine, the only major difference will be upgrading to a quadcore and that requires a motherboard replacement.

it's obsolete. only freetards want them so they can have a "completely free software system" since you can replace the bios with a communist licensed one. I guess also just before covid people were scared of security vulnerabilities found on newer cpus so for a while people also bought them for that. But now 5+years later it's gone from obsolete to laughably obsolete ewaste.
If you really want to get a cool cheap hackerman laptop get one of pic related. It involves a lot of compiling lol.

you can get 16gb ram upgrade for 20 dollars now from places like amazon. Also wifi 6e (intel ax120) are available as a drop in replacement an can go for 20 dollars as well. since these upgrades are cheap i would recommend that you upgrade. Note that the wifi upgrade requires you to install a unlocked bios.

There's honestly no actually good laptops with modern hardware. I have x230 which I like, but it's showing its age by being fairly slow even with all specs maxed for the model. I hope you're prepared to keep a charger handy all the time.
