Nice, but it's a bit of a heresy that they removed the trackpoint on that replacement keyboard. In fact, the more I see it, it looks like an abomination. There aren't even trackpoint buttons and Leds on the palmrest??? Also, the lenovo logo on the bezel... Are you sure this is an X280??

If that's a C grade, the A grade should come signed by the Lenovo CEO! That thing is mint! It should even smell like new! I miss my old X280. It's an amazing machine. Very light. Be aware that the FHD uses a different cable than the HD display. I totally recommend a repaste. I also suggest PTM7950.

This is an example of why I fully advocate for everyone to have a second system running Linux for any important stuff they do. Redundancy is important anyway, but with OS-breaking bugs like this becoming more frequent with Windows Updates, you really need a second system with an OS which isn't Windo

There's no way that the build quality is that bad. Then, you'll be still disappointed because the T14 (non S) is made from reinforced plastic. Maybe the coating is plasticky and that feels cheap for you, but the T14s actually uses magesium for the bottom part and Carbon Fiber for the lid. There's no

Thunderbolt on the T480 and S has an issue with the firmware. The issue is that when connected to a charger the port gets, for lack of a better word, worn and burns out on any firmware below version 21 or something, I need to look it up. This post explains it better than I can: el_charlie • 2y ago P

With T480, you will need to carefully review offers - the external battery is available in three sizes (24/48/72Wh) , and only the largest option has a battery life advantage. Also, the dual batteries are a budget liability these days as you have to factor in replacement costs for two batteries (aro

Do not buy non-Thinkpad T/P/X Lenovo laptops. I've had no chassis or quality issues with my X280. The fan is annoying but that's to be expected of something so thin

Elin Laptopi - firma koja prodaje refurbished laptope, npr: Lenovo ThinkPad X280 - ispod 500€ Nemam financijsku niti bilo kakvu drugu korist od toga, samo sam uzeo tamo Thinkpad prije 10ak godina i dalje radi kao i prvi dan.

What used to be Txxp and then W is now P. Which now you can buy in a lighter more integrated variant as Pxxs which is basically a T. Full circle if you will. If you go with a T you won't be wrong. The AMD T's if you're buying used are nice (4000 series chips and up). My X's are nice. But anything X1
