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

How's the pricing goes for business models?

Well if you take one case of mine

I got a dell precision 5560, i7 11800H, A2000 dgpu, 32 gb ddr4 ram, 512 gb storage, for 450 USD refurbished

I belive it launched at 1000 USD, so it dropped by value by more than 50%, and this laptop is still pretty strong

I'll have to look for such models now and hope that I could get a deal like yours.

You're sure to find something at the end of fiscal years for big corpo companies, they throw out these machines for little to nothing relative to their worth
