Yep, refurbished Thinkpads are all I'll buy anymore. I'm way behind your current
sweet spot and running a t400 and an x220, both very old laptops but they run
better than any one I've bought new.
Both of mine cost me under £100, run Debian perfectly, are upgradable, and are
so designed with servicing in mind the screw holes have little pictures of a
keyboard/screen/memory etc to tell you which you need to remove to replace
parts.
They both run Core2Duo cpus, but once I upgraded to 8/16Gb of RAM they feel
perfectly speedy.
