ThinkPad X13 Gen 2

The m1 MacBook Air can be got for under €700 which is a serious enough laptop for the money. I don’t use Mac though I use windows, you’d get a nice X13 series Lenovo Thinkpad tough for that money either. Fairly robust as well as I use mine out in the field.

As a student, you might as well come back to MacBook - brand-new Neo is 850 CAD with education discount, or you should be able to find older M chip Air models under 1000 CAD second hand. You get Microsoft Office IIRC, good battery life, good bright screen (some ThinkPads model configs still somewhat

Get a recent one. X1 Carbon Gen 13has fabulous speakers. In comparison older ones (2018 Carbon Gen 6) are way worse to even crappy (X200 from like 2008). The X13 Gen 2 (2021???) has okay-ish (compared to 2015 13.3 MBP and 2015 12 MB). Edit: well, since you have a Mac and you're thinking about a new

Not sure how it cools the 165H. T14s positioning is horrible in recent gens, especially Intel, a

(for my tastes) T14 gen 2 or X13, amd (better energy efficiency for this generation, the battery, if it's not too worn out, lasts well over 4 hours)

The 11th gen i5 of my X13 outperforms the 9th gen i9 of my X1 Xtreme (in single core performance).

Hey mate, Aussie MSP here, the T14 is a much better long term option to the T14s, I just find what the T14s tries to do in weight reduction its worse in heat dissipation and fan noise. If you want a lighter unit look at the x13 (smaller screen) The normal T14 are our standard for most laptop users.

Oh wow that's a gorgeous one congratulations. I've got the X13 2-in-1 gen 5 which is all black, but this one with the oled must be a pleasure to use!

The T14 gen 2 is a lot newer than the x380, if you can find a T14 with an AMD CPU , I would go for that , no reason not to trust it. The x380 was replaced by the x13 and x13 yoga , you can look into those too .

You can run Asahi Linux on your M1. If you want something more flexible that will run whatever reasonable distro you want, look for a Thinkpad T, P, X1 or X13 (X9 is hit or miss on compatibility) that fits the budget. There are a lot on eBay because these are bought in large numbers by corporations
