From what I gather it might be the best way for me going forward to have a new PC. I see them as low as $150 on amazon that come with windows so I’d have to nuke the SSD and install something like Mint on it instead.
Maybe we can get a fundraiser going for me so I can finally get a new laptop and put this 12 year old piece of junk to bed.
I did this and I love it, I went with the tried and true t480 plus mint and it was super easy to setup and it’s decently quick and very nice to use.
How much is this model?
I’m seeing a refurbished one on amazon for 190-230 and i think i paid about 230 a year back. I’m sure if you shop around you could definitely do 175
The T480 holds a meme status kinda like the *20 series mostly because it has 2 ram slots. The successor the T490 and even newer machines can typically be found for less money because of said memeage.
