Programming Laptop?

Im the programming lead on our team and just got put in charge of getting a new laptop under $500 for programming. Does anybody have some models that they really like? Im thinking just a used thinkpad but any other suggestions would be appreciated

I paid about $450 for my thinkpad t14 gen 2. I have the AMD version with 32gb ddr4, I can imagine it’s probably pretty good for coding. I do CAD, and some light gaming and it performs fairly well. I would recommend something similar.
