ThinkPad 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.

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

En brugt Lenovo ThinkPad som fx X280 eller X390 (2 betyder 12" og 3 betyder 13" hvor X betyder det er den lette bærbare serie) så de ikke skal slæbe på en for stor maskine. Jeg har givet mine børn de 2 modeller og de er super glade for dem modsat de fleste i deres klasser som har Acer maskiner der e

Until recently, I have been running Arch on a 13 Y.O. ThinkPad X230, with an i5 CPU and 16G of RAM. I paid 45 USD for this machine on ebay, about five years ago. Arch ran fine on this machine, but I don't necessarily recommend using something quite this old. If you already have an antique like this,

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,

Yes, i was also working on HP and Dell as well as Thinkpad. Tbh all are okey for work. If one likes the work the hardware is secondary. But i can see the differences too. My 17 years old Lenovo G550 is waaaay nicer build than my 13 years old Dell which got sticky plastic syndrom, even if it is faste

To be honest, +1 on going for X280 or newer. I wouldn't personally try to daily 7th gen or older (as in X270) at this point. Unfortunately Lenovo gave up on 12-inch machines at that time. That's roughly when Dell's newest 12-inch Latitudes (5290, 7290) were also shipped as well, with that form facto

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

X290/280 are gonna be nearly identical, if they both exist. They're both intel 8th gen systems and they're both 12/12.5-inch systems. They might even literally share a motherboard. X290 will use second-wave 8th gen CPUs, the ones with "5" at the end, otherwise they should perform identically. X390 w
