There's no good laptop. Upon my research they all have their own significant flaws unless you spend thousands of dollars.
Is that why Jow Forums copes by just buying old thinkpads/latitudes/elitebooks?

Why are you running solo laptop?
Because if it's just an auxiliary there are plenty of great options in the low 1000 range, and if you're too poor for that, focus on your main workstation.

For some tasks old laptops just don't have the cpu/gpu power to cut it.
But most of the time desktops can be used for those.
I agree with you that most(99%) of the times few year old thinkpad is more than enough.

Yes, good mobile technology costs more than a grand. Welcome to the real world kiddo.

Noah Hall
Yes.
Older thinkpads are easy to upgrade, rugged, run GNU/Linux and other libre OS' well, corebootable/librebootable and their specs are good enough for daily tasks.
Oh and most of them have more pixels than a 1366x768 modern shittop.
