@codesections As others have said, avoid the 40 series (eg: X240, T440, etc) as Lenovo implemented a very weird trackpad in those models and then quickly reversed course in the following year. Refurbished/used Thinkpads can be a great deal. Linux is well supported on the majority of ThinkPads. Some of last year's models (X1 Carbon, T480s) began using a new sleep state which caused some issues in Linux but I think that's all been worked out now.

@codesections one thing to be aware of is that not all ThinkPad displays are created equal. Lenovo offers a number of fairly low quality/low brightness displays (so IT depts can save $$$ when buying in bulk). If you're getting a used/refurbed TP, make sure to get one with an IPS display. Also, they still to this day sell new ThinkPads with 1368x768 displays... Go for 1920x1080 or higher. I love my old X230, but I find the low resolution very confining.

@jeffmacarthur Kinda reminds me of the good ol' days on Twitter. Although to be fair, there aren't nearly as many photos of people's lunches/coffees.
