I've been looking up used laptops lately.
I can get a lenovo carbon from 7-8 years ago with 16Gb RAM for 200€.
About 6 months ago I scored a ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd Gen (2018) with 16GB RAM on eBay for £80 (~$110)
I was extremely happy with that catch.
Used business machines beat the pants off new consumer stuff any day.
