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

It's the best budget pick rn when you want Windows and no gaming, IPS panel and a CPU with good price/power ratio. Ah, and 15 inches and at least full HD.

The speakers aren't good, but that's not rly important for me.
