The newest 'old' laptop? (lemmy.world)

I'm talking abundant I/O, great repairability/easy to open, maintain. A laptop from back when laptop manufacturers didn't hate us.

The closest I got was a dell latitude 5500 which has decent I/O and a pretty modern processor.

If Lenovo were to make a modern T42 or something like that, not sparing the ports.

Got a Thinkpad T460 for cheap, that I initially did not want. Quite surprised at the build quality and performance. Quality nearly up to my TP 440, but that, with the big dock, had quite a bit more I/O, even with a PCIe gpu slot. You should probably look at used Thinkpads, but not the s(lim) versions. These have whining fans and less I/O.
