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.
For kicked thought I'd see what the model is trading for. New - - - $400 usd Used - - - $150 to 225 (some even in that range CAN $) a replacement battery at $25 to 35 USD. A very interesting machine. Wonder why the company replaced it? Regards
