Looking for reliable laptop around $400-600
Lenovo T or X series refurbished. Or, get one off Ebay. I have both a X260 and a Yoga 260. Yoga can be a hit or miss. Mine doesn't like to be lifted by a corner as something shifted on the mainboard. Or a loose connector. Probably the ram shifting in the socket. I stuck to the 260 because of replaceable ram and m2 drives. Bought used, both of them are 10 years old. Parts are cheap and plentyful. They are meant to be serviced by the user. If you want usb C charging, go x270 and newer. Just be advised newer ones are partially soldering memory and drives on the board.

T480 dies Get t490 or get a t14 with as much ram as you can get since most aren't upgradable like the t480 and of course if Amd is available get it over Intel

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
I still use an old X220 for my data center carry along. It's still kicking major ass.
