    What will you use it for?

    • Just normal home use. Nothing fancy. Doing an upgrade after 6 years of my current thinkpad as it wont upgrade to windows 11 and battery not holding juice. My current machine is an i7 with 8 gigs . No issues with speed etc

  • If you are open to a similar used laptop, I have one available:

  • Where are these from? Why is the second model cheaper than the first, when at first glance it had better specs?

  • Lenovo Education store
