Refurbished LENOVO THINKPAD X280 Ultrabook PC 12.5" Display Intel i5-8350U Core i5 1.7GHz CPU 256GB SSD 8GB RAM - B Grade - £150 at ITZOO

Heat added - Great price - I'm typing on an x270 ( previous model 7th gen i5) and its still a very capable little beast - light & small for mobile working, good battery and never had a problem in 4 years..
Display - no issues - bright enough for any normal office, 1920x1080 native and runs up to 2650x1440 on HDMI monitor so great for 24".

for £150 for general home/work use its a really great bargain (edited)

1920 FHD screen, from a friend that's just had theirs delivered. I received the same last year when I ordered one for £143. (edited)

Great little laptop for general use. I bought one last year when it was discounted from £160 to £128.
Screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 which works perfectly well for me. I suppose it depends on what you want to use it for, but for me it is perfectly clear and bright enough, and I've never had a problem with the display. For a casual user, it's a delightful little machine, fast enough for me. The memory is not the biggest but I am now storing everything on the Cloud.
Good for browsing, emails, general MS Office use.
It was also listed as Grade B, but in fairness it was in excellent condition.
I'm absolutely delighted with mine. (edited)

No intel iris graphics on this cpu. So will be v slow at games

Anyone know how old this is?

Seems an ookish deal but it does beg the question as to what's happened to ITZOO. Used to have lots of stock in most categories but zero in most for some time except for a few laptops and one tablet at the min. No base units, workstations or monitors that I can see.

Good price, but no mention of screen resolution, so most likely it's crappy, dim hd one i would personally avoid...

I've emailed to ask them about the screens and they say they don't know but they're likely to be 1366x768. I'm not prepared to take the chance

Has anyone received yet? Are they FHD screens?

Just got mine, condition is excellent, you can see tiny marks if you hold it to your face and squint but that's not my intention with this particular product! Thanks OP, this will be great for some light home use

Received mine today- like new condition, so very pleased. Just waiting for win11 to download and install. Only thing is the screen resolution shows as 1366x768 and there doesn't seem to be a way of changing it. Am I the only one who received a non FHD unit? The driver for the display is showing as generic, so would updating help? Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance

Done a few tweaks to mine, under sustained max cpu when running cinebench it was hitting 95°c max temp and throttling, cleaned off the thermal paste and used a Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pad (recommended on reddit, and lenovo use them on their gaming laptops). I was hoping for a performance increase with it not hitting the max temp so able to hold max speed for longer, sadly just a 1% boost in the cinebench score but the max temp is now 88°c so a 7°c drop and it doesn't get as hot during general use either so is a bit quieter, either way a success. You only need approx 20x10mm so the 80x40mm pad I bought was overkill but guess I have spares, I used rgeek store on aliexpress (have used them for PC cases in the past too).

I also added a second SSD in the empty WWAN slot. You need a B+M keyed NVME drive, there's not a huge amount of them, Western Digital do one, but I got a 512GB Kingspec from Aliexpress which works fine, the slot only runs at PCI-E 3.0 x1 and maxed out at about 850mbps so no real advantage to splashing out on a high end one. I guess you could just upgrade the main SSD instead, but I quite like having two drives anyway.

Down the line I'll probably upgrade the wifi to a AX210 Wifi 6E card for about £15, but I don't need to atm.

Also back in stock so I've unexpired this. (edited)

For anyone else hovering over this like I have been for the last few days.

Ordered yesterday with the idea of returning if it was the 720p display, arrived today.

Excellent condition, 1080p screen, 90% battery health. Cannot complain at all so far for around £144 (with TopCashback)

Runs CM01/02 heat added 🔥

Still rocking a x230 here with i5 8gb and omg lol pixels 768 display   Still use it all the time for onsite work image processing and document creation.

Do I buy this or wait for a better deal under £250?

Seems a good enough deal but the issue for me would be the screen. Apart from that, its hot!

Any one aware of T480/T480S at this price

The L380 Yoga on ebay go for the same price, have a great FHD screen and upgradable RAM. Make sure it's an i5 (4core).

Looks like a great deal. Does anyone know if the keyboard is backlit? Before anyone says, I have checked specs on Lenovo and ITZOO websites but it isn't clear. (edited)

I wonder if these have the overpainted keyboards.

They should really be upfront about that. They are fine, but, not everyone would be happy about it.

can we install windows 11 on this?

Where on earth can you put the discount code in? No
Option/box anywhere even on checkout? Unless they have pulled it?

Where on earth is the cart to even check out.
