What do you think? I see that people like t480, but maybe there are other good thinkpads for low price?

TitleI know, that there is a lot information in Internet about it, but I just like to asking people here :D

One rule of thumb is to be really sure it doesn't have a tn film screen. IPS at least and even those were really bad up until T490 etc. X1 series has better screens, but you cannot upgrade almost anything to those.

Old thinkpads let you to save 20 euros to get a TN film panel to your company laptop. Great for bean counters, awful screens to look at. Never buy these, always get an IPS screen.
