I am not sure what people do with their laptops but I am perfectly happy with a refurbished 5th gen X1, replacement for my t480s, that replaced my t440, after t420s.

I never paid more than $500 for a refurbished model. I can choose which kind of screen I am going for never had any heating issues or driver issues with Linux.

I've had a MacBook at work, I could afford a framework or whatever when I wanted. But except gaming (don't care and better devices available) and AI/rendering (cloud cheaper in most cases) I don't see why the majority of people seems to think they need $2000 machines.
