I got a nice Thinkpad T14 Gen 4 recently with a 7840U, if you like Lenovo Thinkpads. I've used many Intel ones before and I like them all equally.

- lxn 3y agoThanks for the recommendation. Thinkpads are excellent, and honestly, I wanted one. Unfortunately, I'm not too fond of the company. This is because they've done shady security and privacy-related stuff in the past, for example, shipping laptops with malware in 2015 or selling US Marines' laptops with altered hardware to send data back to China [1]. To make it worse, they also have weird practices regarding buying used products: they recommend you avoid buying used laptops (saying they might have viruses but later removed the page [2]) or saying that once you unlock your phone, you are not allowed to sell it [3]. TL;DR: Lovely machine, but I can't trust the company behind them.

- sevagh 3y agoFair enough. I have blind spots for sketchy things done by companies that make products I like.
