I know that Alex has picked out his machine, but it does amaze me how slowly computers age now. A friend gave me an HP EliteBook Folio 9480m <https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c04410212> that had been declared surplus by his employer. With 16 GB RAM and an i7-4600U processor, it's still pretty nippy. It's clearly designed as a ThinkPad replacement: it even has the little trackpoint mouse nubbin in the keyboard. Battery life is no longer great, but it's light and portable. Stewart
