I tend to buy T-series laptops once they are about 5 years old, and still have tons of life left in them.
I'll probably be looking for a T14 Gen 2 this year. Nothing wrong with my T495 'cept that my kid spilled water on it but fortunately only killed the hall sensor.
In fact, I thought the laptop was dead but I. Noticed a little corrosion on the hall sensor board, unplugged it, laptop started right up.
And it's still got plenty of life in it to hand down to my kid for Minecraft and such.
