I am upgrading on the laptop front and have been considering buying a refurbished Thinkpad from around 2012. Alternative I would buy a new Lenovo for about the same price, which would then be from a different (lower grade) series.
I'd like to hear what people here would go for?
Refurbished:
Lenovo ThinkPad W520 15.6" 2.20GHz 128GB SSD 8GB (i7 processor)
New:
Lenovo G50-80 15.6" Intel Core i5-5200U CPU, 128GB SSD

What gen i7?
Like 4200 would be 4th gen, 6150 is 6th gen, etc

Second gen. Not sure I can make that call. Check CPU boss?

Didn't know that site. The older i7 seems better in that comparison. I was thinking just as much about the difference in quality/built, as Thinkpad has a strong reputation(I think). But maybe it's just a matter of choice and a close call either way.
Thanks for you input
