I love everything about old Lenovo ThinkPads (≤ 2013). Compared to modern ultrabooks, these machines are highly customizable, hackable[^1], and user-serviceable. While I no longer tinker with ThinkPads (X230, X230T, T530) like I used to in 2018-2020, I highly recommend these machines if you’re on a budget. With some TLC, they can continue to deliver a great user experience for many more years. **Some photos.**  > ThinkPad X230 running macOS Catalina.  > ThinkPad X230 Tablet running macOS Mojave.  > ThinkPad X230 Tablet running macOS Mojave.
