No.

>>59355152
no you shouldn't unless you want to run linux on them. new OSX versions run like shit on old macbooks.

Newer than a thinkpad T420

>>59355223
I wouldn't recommend that either. I did recently see a 4 year old T410 for half that price though.

What would you recommend to someone who isn't a big fan of all the touchscreen 2 in 1 memes going around these days?

>>59355299
Any enterprise/pro laptop with a few years on it. You shouldn't have any problems finding them.
