We have over a decade worth of updated information in our Wiki; some of the mass amount of information we have includes model information and buying advice
The only tools you need for servicing a ThinkPad are a set of small screwdrivers and a nylon spudger (for taking the screen and keyboard bezels off), and possibly a pair of tweezers. A can of compressed air may be useful too, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds are good for cleaning, but not on the screen. Never use acetone (nail polish remover).
When reinstalling Windows, try the Lenovo disc images, as longer battery times have been reported, probably due to custom drivers. There is no crapware!

Buying advice must confirm to guidelines
Low effort buying advice seeking is forbidden, as it clogs the subreddit and makes it hard for people to actually provide buying advice. Buying advice posts must include 1. a clear budget, 2. a clear use case and 3. target specs or specs of your current system.
