@threia@cdrom.tokyo If you have the money I recommend buying buying a T500 from https://tehnoetic.com/TET-T500

It's fully refurbished, tested, preflashed and with warranty. But buying a used one and flashing it yourself can save a lot of money.

I personally don't know what a good way to source these types of machines is nowadays. I do know that the X200 is by the most common one you can get, but it is a small form factor laptop. A T400(s) is also a good option if you want something bigger than a X200.

I've owned my X200 since 2013, I bought it exactly at the point of where enterprises were getting rid them by the truckload (the famous 4 year deprecation cycle) and they could be had really cheaply.
