I think it's an alright deal for the $345 one. More than Ebay prices but used Thinkpads are definitely worth it. I don't think it's worth going for the i7 for that much more if you're just doing office type work.
I teach online a lot (1on1) and I need it to handle recording my screen with OBS without stutters. Plus a good webcam. Does it still sound like a good option then?
I have one, and I have to say the webcam is not good at all. It's a fantastic machine though. The webcam and the speakers are terrible.
Well I guess I can use an external one.
The laptop is excellent. I think that's a fair price. I use mine all day, every day. Years in now.
I've used OBS on desktop PCs with a 7th gen CPU without noticeable issues for work. I can't say for certain but you should be fine with that laptop for your needs.
