I bought it from eBay. It is the best computer Ive had in a while, even tho is somewhat old. I love it.

    Lenovo makes awesome notebooks and the keyboards are great to type on. Id recommend swapping out the HDD for an SSD and upgrading the RAM if it only has 4GB to at least 8 or even 16 if it supports it. Probably cost you another $80 or so but it’s well worth it, especially the SSD. GL with it!

      Already came with 8 gb of ram. I bought it without a hard drive so I just put an SSD there that I already had.

      Interesting, but can I run it on a virtual machine instead? I have a Raspberry Pi with Retropie where I have a big ROM collection, would be nice to play them with this nice laptop.

    That’s a beautiful machine! I just fixed up a T440p and I love it, but I broke the clip that holds the trackpad ribbon so now I have no trackpad.

    What’s the use case for a 9-year old Lenovo notebook? Not trying to be snarky, legitimately curious. Can it run Windows 10?

      I’m running GNU/Linux on this thing, so far is extremely responsive and working great, even with my already configured OS. Honestly, since my previous old iMac died, this is the best computer I had for a while, I had to survive with Raspberry Pis and even older laptops.

      It might surprise you but my main laptop is a 9yr old thinkpad, even tho I have newer ones. Of course it can run win10, I daily drive linux but occasionally use windows from a usb ssd enclosure (installed with winTousb). I bought it almost as a joke 4-5yrs ago, but upgrade after upgrade (the screen especially which was crap) it became too good to replace lol
