Piggyback question from OP but can someone give me a QRD on what's so great about ThinkPads? I've seen them in a lot of recommendation threads but they don't seem like anything special to me. What am I missing?

Still using my 2014/2015 model thinkpad (bought used in 2019), still feels brand new.

Durability is the game, and since they're usually for work/ bought by a company for the whole office they are usually taken care of when bought used.
