Consider (used) thinkpads. There are places that refurbish them, also selling you devices that just got out of their lease, due to the owner bailing out after only a few months. They are frequently available for half-price in good-as-new with still some warranty on them, which you don't need on the T and X series (not the carbon though). They need one screwdriver, for full disassembly.
