What ThinkPad/Latitude models are cheap and usable right now? I’m just looking for something to browse the web, but not something so low-spec that it couldn’t handle heavier desktop environments.

    I just picked up a used Thinkpad t480 with 8th gen i5 / 16gb ram / ssd for about $120 on ebay. I believe 8th gen the first i5 quad core for laptops. And T480 is the last Thinkpad with removable battery and two dimm slots. Kindof the sweet spot between the old upgradability and modernish hardware imo

      Same here … also had the removable cd drive that you can swap for a CD drive HDD adapter slot (which I did and added a traditional 2GB HDD) to go along with my 250GB SSD
