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

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

"Çok ucuz" kişiden kişiye değişir Lenovo Thinkpad T480S, X280 falan iyidir düzgün fiyata bulabilirsen. Uzun ömürlü, sağlam, kolay ve ucuz tamir edilebilirler ondan üzmez. Sadece dediğin basit işleri yapacaksan T43 falan bile yeter o ayrı :D

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 just got an i7 8650u 16 gb system board from Lenovo’s parts site for $65, check their site for you and see what’s available. After grabbing a backup display, system board, usb port, cables, I’m never getting rid of this x280. It’s already had half of its parts swapped out, it’s like Frankenstein m

I just bought a second-hand X280 2 years ago, first Thinkpad. Those are built with a metal case (not all thinkpads are like that). Then, a month ago, I got a T14 Gen 1 with a Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U, and my son, 13 y.o got himself an X280 also. I bought an L590 for my older son who needed it for his cyber

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

Check Lenovos parts site, they’ve been clearing out old inventory from the repair center I think and some mobos have been popping up ridiculously cheap. I just had an x280 mobo i7 8650 with 16gb ram delivered for $70
