Dito. Refurbished Thinkpad X230 here (I prefer small ones: backpack and that). Souped up to 16G RAM, still on spinning rust (back then, 1T SSD was prohibitive). Bought end of 2018 (as a replacement of another X230 which was crushed by a fire protection door: they aren't indestructible, after all). Looking forward to its next upgrade (SSD). Paid 400 EUR (incl. RAM), which in the US would be $400. You'll get more computing for that these days. New is only worth it if you specifically want some feature you won't get otherwise. Cheers -- t
