Anyone here have experience with buying refurbished ThinkPads from Amazon sellers? I may be in need of another Windows laptop soon and I'm trying to keep the replacement below $500. Been looking at the perennial recommendation, T480.
If anyone has another recommendation for me, I'm open. The reasons I gravitate towards ThinkPads are the quality keyboard and overall good construction. I repaired more of them than I could count back in my PC tech days, but that was back in the '90s when they were made by IBM.
Requirements:
High quality keyboard
1080p resolution min
RAM expandable to 32 GB+
m.2 NVMe slot
Second storage slot (could be PCI-E or m.2)
NOT a Chromebook
Everything else is just a nice to have.
@voltronic I'm really enjoying my Framework laptop, which meets or exceeds all your requirements.
Totally repairable, and customizable. In fact, you can pick and hotswap the ports to what you need at the time.
