Thinking about getting a laptop to run linux on (arch don't worry) that's actually not a piece of garbage. Been running a mac for a little while, it's all that I got. I know /g/ likes thinkpads how are the newer ones? Or just stick to ones that are a few years old? My budget is around $500. thanks

Save a few more weeks and get a used framework. It's the only laptop worth buying.

i would recommend a used thinkpad but we're in 2025 and those poor black bricks can't keep 4 tabs open without making airplane noises and frying the battery anymore.
get anything intel core 8th gen or AMD Ryzen 2nd gen (circa 2018 or newer) with 8 gigs RAM and SSD.
