I’m thinking of picking up a used ThinkPad on eBay for cheap to serve as my daily driver. I’ll likely run LMDE, and primarily use it for web browsing, office programs, coding, and FreeCAD. Any recommendations on which model would best hit the sweet spot of capability vs price?
Yesterday I started looking for mini pcs and found this post https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniPCs/comments/1afzkt5/2024_general_mini_pc_guide_usa/
They shared this link which contains data on 2.8k machines, it helped me compare some of the options I was looking for and find new ones.

Sadly it doesn’t contain data bout the ThinkPad, but I might as well share in case you’re willing to consider other brands.
Edit: Oh, wait, I was thinking about a ThinkCentre, not a ThinkPad :P
Well, I’ll leave this around in case someone finds it useful, hehe.
