and cpu speed and heat Intel CPUs from that era were quite bad and everyone has upped their ante since then. I was thinking about getting a second hand from ~2021-2022, but my wife convinced me to get a new one, so I got a Gen 5 T14 AMD. It has a Ryzen 7 Pro 8840U and I rarely hear the fans, mostly only when Nix has to rebuild some large packages (running NixOS unstable-small).
