At $400, Acer Swift, Asus Zenbook at costco. Less durable than tankpads, expect 2-4 good years for high school.
At $200, Certified used Dell Business Refurbish. Old tech old battery ,but great as a spare laptop and for kids in grade school or broke college students. durable like a washing machine. 20-50% slower.
Always get at least i5/r5 cpu, 16gb ram, 256gb-512gb ssd, 1080p IPS, 1 yr warranty
Avoid Intel atom/Pentium, 128gb ssd, emmc, 720p
Avoid the $250 Gateway/Vaio FE/Lenovo Flex/HP those will fall apart after 1 yr of normal use
And the 5 years or less stipulation of the trade-in laptop makes the rebate offer not nearly as good as you think. Most people who have a laptop 5 years or less old will probably value that laptop over $200.

Manufacturing date..it should be on your the laptop backside..or they will find it through serial
There's 2 versions of the Thinkpad, and 2 of the Asus Vivobook
There's the one in the original post,
the higher thinkpad at 750 with a Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U
Vivobooks have the latest gen cpu but then you cannot compare it with thinkpad.
Thinkpad T series are top of the line for business use. Gaming performance might not be great. But they keep going and going. I have 3 thinkpads, one is like 12 years old T60 which is still working fine.

System Is Configured With
More than one USB-C device that is capable of providing power. (Example: USB-C AC power adapter, USB-C Dock / Thunderbolt3 Dock, USB-C Monitor / Thunderbolt3 Monitor, USB-C power bank…)
Solution
Lenovo recommends users immediately update the system BIOS to the current version on the Lenovo Support site.
Note: Users should remove all connected devices from the system and only connect one Lenovo USB-C AC power adapter to the USB-C power connector on the system when performing the BIOS update.
