ThinkPad X280

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

I just ordered one for my son's X280 from Aliexpress. I'm in France. I'm expecting it next week. I'll keep you posted. I paid around $24 for it, with backlight. Original keyboards are around 3 times that price, so... I hope the quality is good, Lenovo keyboards are great.

"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

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.

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

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 have the same feeling, I have one too, totally lowcost build, cheap plastics, very short battery life, again and again some issues, like battery discharges 10% per day even if its offIgnoring mainy times smart charge limit so it charges to 99% isntead 85 set in lenovo vantage..I had T14 or T14s or

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

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
