I got mine used from a local ebay-like site. Can’t really justify buying new hardware most of the time. Thinkpads in general are really easy to buy second-hand in great condition when corporations replace them. Z-series were not very popular so getting it was a lot harder than a T14 or P1, but still, there were some great options.

Completely agree there. New models too often turn out to have some mass-produce flaws. I one waits a little, these problems come out and a little search reveals them. So one can buy a slightly older but safer model. I have one of the very many Carbon gen 9 that turned out to have defective Thunderbolt ports; if only I had waited a little before buying a brand-new model…
