I gave up on FreeBSD (too many compromises needed to use it for a desktop) and am now working on installing Chimera Linux on my T495s

What's a good ThinkPad for a sidegrade?

Casual user (so just a lot of tabs, Office, occasional gaming but nothing heavy). Currently using an HP Pavillion with i5-1035G1 and 12GB of RAM. It is still serving me well, but I was wondering what backups I could maybe buy in case it decides that year 5 is a no-go.

I've looked at older ThinkPads before, and assuming the talks online about repairability and build quality are fully reliable, I'd like to get one myself.

I have mostly narrowed down my options to either a T14, a T490/495, or a T480. Apparently most people love the T480, but idk how it'll hold up moving forward. Also, what would count as "good prices" online for those?

Found my old Thinkpad, after 16 years waiting hopefully it has been worth the wait
