so basically I'm going to buy a laptop

I don't want a gaming one though since that's not what I want to use it for

I was thinking about buying a thinkpad not sure which specific one yet though

My budget is about 200-250$ I'll probably buy a used one, y'all got any good reccomendations? i just need like 8+ gigs of ram, an i5 or higher and minimum 215gb's of storage

Soon…

Also to answer OP’s question, you’re better of getting an old office pc and buying some parts to upgrade it. Most laptops are horrendous.

defenitly go for an old used, refurbished thinkpad, look for advice here:

but yea with ram prices and allat you might be a bit fucked, just dont buy below 16gb of ram please, else youre gonna have a terrbile time also you will have to use linux on this device.

just get a thinkpad with 16gb+ ram, since they are office pcs when companies upgrade hardware they bulk sell it and increase the supply in the market, hence lowering the price

Your best bet is asking Jason tbh

He has real world experience, I’m guessing, I am still studying in school.

Better off getting an old laptop from eBay than buy a new pc. Ram prices are sky high rn
exactly what I'm planning to do, I've already chosen a thinkpad t480s you think it's worth it? I've heard the onky con about it being shitty display colours, i can pm you the parameters

Well i saw your dm faster, I guess the one you sent is good for your needs. But do ask the seller some more questions before buying mainly centered around battery health and prior utilization.

Sure. What are you planning to do on your computer. It all depends on that
