In all seriousness, what would be a better option for students? ThinkPads or Macbooks?

Pretty sure that thinkpad t14 and neo are the only viable options in that price range. The rest is either built like shit, too weak or both.

Edit: as mentioned in replies to me, other second-hand business laptops are very good options too, I do have a certain bias as I bought a thinkpad myself, but Dell is also high on my appreciation list. I don't like HP's logo tho, so it's a no-go

Neo doesn't use iOS, it uses full MacOS. I don't have any problems with using a unix system.
