ThinkPad X280

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

I also encountered this issue. Changing to a different charger solved it, even though both chargers are all from lenovo? Using the charger that came with the x280 (model: ADLX65YLC3D) causes problems, but switching to the charger from the x1 tablet gen2 (model: ADLX45YLC3A) or the thinkplus lipstick

As a fellow tech lover and ThinkPad enjoyer, this sounds like a fun little Franken‑laptop project. If you want something inexpensive but still very moddable, I’d look at older T or X series (T480/T490, X270/X280 tier) – they’re common in the refurb market, have plenty of parts available, and tons of

I use an X280 with i5 and 16GB of RAM (8GB has its limits but doable) which I use with win 11 LTSC, office, firefox and some other tools. CPU is not very important: the difference between an 8250u and an 8650u being very small (compared to the gap with newer generations); in my opinion the performan

I did my research just now on India and thought long and hard about my response. Here it is: Buying a refurbished ThinkPad (specifically T480/T490/P-series) in India is excellent for Linux, often found for ₹18,000–₹25,000. Reputable online vendors include Saudewala, NewJaisa, and Lestic. For Linux,

I bought lenovo thinkpad x280 from them 2 months, everything was perfect but last week my battery died out of nowhere. The laptop is still working while plugged in but I'm trying to contact their support non-stop from past week, no luck. 1 number is switched off, other one is not responding. Only me

i'd grab the 145w dock charger for 25 bucks. the X280 negotiates power draw through the dock anyway - it'll only pull 65w max. having overhead won't hurt. the issue with your current 90w showing 40w sounds like a faulty charger or dock connection. usb-c chargers are more universal but finding a genu

it all started here 8 months ago when I wanted a 2nd light laptop for email/office/browsing with long battery life (overkill and unpractical to use the P16 for that) : https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1kvt3yi/p16_vs_x280_why_is_the_p16_so_inefficient/ I have tested: X280, X390, X13 Gen 1 AMD, X13
