I would never buy brand new from them, but yes, my older devices are Intel because they were second hand and I knew more about them at the time than their AMD counterparts.

I've still got a ThinkPad X260 with an i5, and a MacBook Air 11" also with an i5. Those still get daily use from me and I'm not throwing them out because Intel is a shithouse company.
