I Bought a 5-Year-Old Laptop for My Tech Lab (And You Should Too)

Описание: I just bought a 5-year-old laptop in 2025. Here's why it's a brilliant productivity hack.

In this video, I unbox and set up my new dedicated tech lab: a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T490. As a SysAdmin, I can't mix my experimental "lab" environment (running VMs, Windows 11) with my "production" machine (my MacBook).

I'm breaking down my "Dual-System" for productivity, why this enterprise-grade refurbished machine offers insane value-for-money, and how it helps me stay focused and secure. You don't always need the newest tech—you need the right tech for the system.

💬 QUESTION OF THE DAY: What's your take on refurbished tech? And do you separate your work/lab machines from your personal/creative ones?

This video is part of my journey as a SysAdmin and creator, exploring how to build a focused life through tech, mindset, and motion. As a digital nomad who started from zero in Europe, I share the systems I use to build discipline and achieve my goals.
