Is buying old Thinkpads, Librebooting them and then reselling them a real business strategy? I remember people used to do this a few years ago when Thinkpad nostalgia was at its peak (2021 I think) but I didn't think people still did it. I always thought the type of person who would want a Librebooted Thinkpad would also be the type of person who would want to do it themselves, let alone the concern that the person "Librebooting" it also isn't putting spyware on your machine (See: Anom)

Its a little off topic but I recently bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 with 32GB of RAM and a 13th gen Intel i7 CPU and I'm loving it so far love This is the first time I've ever used Windows on a laptop before without it being insanely laggy laugh

>I always thought the type of person who would want a Librebooted Thinkpad would also be the type of person who would want to do it themselves I think some people want the benefits of it without having to actually do it themselves
