My advice is do not buy a laptop. Just buy a desktop when you get to your new country

Why are you scared?
Thinkpads are a bit overhyped here but used ones are cheap and good for the money. Depending on your mobility needs you could get a x220 or x230 + dock, external display and kb/mouse for home use and a very portable laptop on the go or you can get a w520/t420 and have a nice, big screen.

This.
Take your current drive if you need the data.
Laptops are for people that need to do things in different places often and can do so with sub-par performance.

But yes. Thinkpads are a meme, a good one. Get one if you must, or any other secondhand laptop that takes your fancy. Really you're not asking about hardware so anything that's somewhat modern will do.

If you're fleeing a country you should consider taking up arms and not being a pussy pushing all your problems onto the rest of us. We're not going to solve them for you [spoiler]willingly[/spoiler]

It's a working visa, I'm from Romania. I'm going to buy a cheap laptop for the first 4-5 months then.

I don't need a gaming laptop.

I can play my games well enough on low or medium. EU4 is more cpu dependent I think.
