I was kind of disappointed since 'proper' has another meaning on PV...
Proper considering cheap refurbished/used notebooks means exactly thinkpad, the older - the more proper.
Remember there is even new motherboards manufactured for classic ThinkPads. They have USB3 and all the newest components! (Probably not the most inexpensive, but still very cool!)
Can you show me some?

Beware @Vitaliy_Kiselev, there is serious NSFW motherboard photos in the links! :-P
