That is a 7 year old laptop.
That's a 7 years old Thinkpad.
And by the way, if you need to build Android source code more often than once a month, you need AWS anyway.
Aye, and it's a backup for my maxed out 7 year old MacBook Pro which builds code just as fast as the 2 month old MacBook Pro I use at work.

Wait, no way! Does the pen work?
That would miss the point entirely, and arguably be morally dubious.
The Macbook hardware is pretty excellent, and prices are comparable to the (few) competitors of similar quality. In absolute terms, they are not outside the range that their market can afford.
It is only in desktops, or, more precisely, workstations that Apple's offerings fall short.
Updates up until 10.13.6 worked seamlessly, only "hack" you had to do was change out the WiFi card.
