  • ThinkPad T430

    pros:

    • old
    • extremely cheap
    • usable performance, can be upgraded to average performance
    • libreboot compatible
    • very compatible with Linux
    • great keyboard (if you mod it with a t420 keyboard)
    • trackpoint (controversial)
    • hot swappable batteries
    • repairable
    • display can be upgraded to IPS if you manage to find a converter board

    cons:

    • old
    • bad battery life (if you keep the stock one)
    • TN panel
    • not blazing fast (more than enough for the tasks you mentioned though)




  • (Just to be clear, I use a Pixel but hate Google as a company)

    Tbh idk about all of this, I think it’s just a QA issue and these things don’t affect most units.

    You can say the same thing for samsung batteries, apple cables, etc.

    My 6a has always had good reception (even though forums said it had problematic reception). The battery, software update, etc have been a non issue, and the bloat free software’s been stellar.

    Maybe I have biases because of confirmation bias and I got this phone for an outrageously cheap price, but I still think pixels are one of the best androids, if not the best.

    Plus, you can install GrapheneOS
