Tons of the T480 and T480s models are hitting eBay since they seem to be coming off corporate lease. The T480 seems to be a little better if you want to do things like RAM and storage upgrades but both seem like great machines to me. If you want to save a few more bucks, the T460 is also an option. All those Lenovo models are really well supported with Linux if you choose to go that route. Mine came with a copy of windows 11 pre installed, which I promptly removed.

I grabbed a T480s model with 256gb NVME and 24GB RAM. Also includes fingerprint reader, this one seems to be hit/miss so check pictures if its important to you. Paid $200 delivered. Been running PopOS no problem. Its been a great little laptop in the last 2-3 weeks that I have owned it.

i recently picked up one and love it. These thinkpads are also flooding ebay so some with great specs can be had for less than the $238 newegg is asking for. Just gotta look around.

I would check to see the wattage/amps the heater pulls and what the smart plug is rated for. Don’t want to melt it or start a fire by mistake.
