This looks like you enjoy the process.

For me I aggressively follow laptop deals. For the last gen you can get competing laptops for the price of the main board alone.

Of course, I hope I'm wrong.

Buying used ThinkPads on eBay and installing Linux is closer to sustainability than buying into a new ecosystem of expensive and hard to find parts.

Or we could say “Thinkpads should be more modular, repairable, and upgradable.” Some of us want to support that approach.
