You could get 4 Lenovo X280 if you just need an overpowered notepad.

Yeah, or a Macbook Neo! No need to disparage other people's use cases.

Fair, vendor lock-in doesn't matter when it's a notepad.

But that's still 3 X280s if all you need an overpowered notepad. It's my daily driver for exactly that use case, so no disparage there.

And it's still overpowered for that. But it's so tiny...

Also don't buy new if it's not for (critical) business, I want to add.
