    I'm heartened by this thread, and in some small way, unsurprised.

    I've been thinking of late how in many respects we've reached a kind of peak processing, where pretty much any half-decent machine from the past few years can work perfectly well for most tasks.

    Buying second hand machines which, as with thinkpads, are fairly easy to fix or upgrade, makes a lot of sense.

    Also, I'm cheap as shit.

    • The "last few years" comment is mostly true outside of the newest 8th gen CPU's. They're 40% faster than 7th gen.section_014
