    This laptop is FHD but has no backlit keyboard due to the reprinting of the keys. I have had this confirmed by the company.

    I always factor in the price of a new backlit keyboard when buying ex business thinkpads. It's a fairly straight forward job and makes the laptop feel like new. Highly recommend.

    Great laptop, nice specs, but AVOID if it's not FullHD, as the qulity of the HD screen on this model is poor
    plewis00's avatar
    Actually, not sure why we are even discussing this, it says Full HD in the listing. It's not like the X280 where it didn't specify. 50213898-CBHmR.jpg

    This is a good laptop, and from a reputed seller.

    I dare say this is a better deal than the ebay deals (seller=newandusedlaptops4u) that have been posted in the last few weeks, as the ebay deals did not guarantee the second battery.

    Thanks for posting. Voted hot. (edited)

    I can't see anywhere that this deal has a second battery supplied? Did I miss something?

    Tempting if I'd not got the X280 already.

    Here's the PSREF if people are interested.

    How is the noise under load, intel chips tend to sound like a jet taking off when under load.

    Upgradable to Win 11 I assume?
    Smoggy1970's avatar
    Yep

    Gone with this thank you! Need to upgrade my 15 year old HP G-70 that is still going strong with its new SSD and RAM upgrades, though it has lost a key and the screen is now iffy.

    Can I ask the experts please is there a way to simply link my current laptop to this to allow file transfer of all of my docs and photos etc?
    iDealYou's avatar
    I'm not an expert. But I think it can be shared if both are on the same network using windows workgroup.

    If anyone knows the answer to these would be helpful. Thanks
    Ram upgradable? FHD screen? Backlight?
    nw104hh's avatar
    8GB or 16 GB of RAM is soldered to the motherboard & there's one ram slot free, so it's either 8GB on board and 8GB stick in the slot or 16GB on board and the ram slot is free

    Not a fan of Windows machines anymore, but can't complain about these specs given the price.

    Hot from me.

    Is the DELL LATITUDE 5400 better then this?
    plewis00's avatar
    Arguably, no. The direct competition is the Dell Latitude 7400.

    Ordered for my son. Thanks. Heat added. T

    Can you let us know what sort of condition it is in when it arrives? Never really bought B grade before and I'm hesitating to pull the trigger...
  20. djalc10's avatar
    Received mine yesterday, bad condition. Scratches on screen, lid scuffed, keys flaking plastic, charger full of hair. Im in the process of returning it. They said that they will forward my pics to the stock manager. Hope others received theirs in better condition.
