I had been using a ThinkPad X201 bought second hand in late 2013 for a little over $300 until the end of last year. There're a couple of things that are less modern: a crappy 800p display, USB 2.0, limited external display resolution. But if it's not particularly for the display I would probably still be using it. I was doing some window development work at some point, and had zero problem running visual studio with a small project and doing whatever I had to do while the model has just 2GB of RAM.
