Oh, a ThinkPad T400 series, one of those models was actually my first laptop at work in my current company (joined about 4 years ago)! Albeit it was a bit dated even then, it was still a pleasure to use and i never really felt like i needed to switch to something newer, maybe just for more RAM. Though my current ThinkPad has a larger screen, which is nice too! That said, 24 GB felt enough for me throughout 2021, even for enterprise Java projects.
Honestly, as far as laptops go, it feels to me that the various types of ThinkPad laptops are some of the best out there - they feel sturdy, the build quality is good, the driver support is generally pretty good (only had problems with display drivers once in a newer model) and the keyboards are the best that i've tried in any laptop to date (outside of Apple devices, i guess).
I've also been meaning to look into the Fujitsu Lifebook series of laptops for personal devices, but currently can't really afford them. Are there any other sturdy but powerful laptops that the people here would like to recommend?
