    Does it support USBC charging?
    Can the ram and SSD be upgraded?

  • +1

    Does it have built-in mobile broadband sim card slot?

  • Can you use this as a decent tablet?

    • I mean it would be heavier. And has a keyboard on the back so really

    • It'll be pretty chonky

      • +5

        I live for the chonk. Gives me something to hold onto.

  • Anyone run Linux on one these?

    • +5

      i did and most things works well, battery is a hit or miss though and ended up going back to windows because of scaling, since the display is awkward and needs 1.5x scaling which causes screen tearing

      • What distro did you use?

        • +1

          all sorts of distros, Ubuntu, fedora, zorinos, Linux Mint, elementaryos, popos (pre cosmic-very early cosmic days), manjaro

          • +1

            @OzGardian: Well yeah scaling in linux is a bit skuff rn, I’m having issues with my 1440P 27” monitor. I feel like newer versions of GNOME and KDE can hopefully fix those issues…

      • I always have issues with scaling and the only way i could use linux (fedora 38) was to use either gnome/x11 or kde/wayland.
        I actually use kde more because reasons, but probs if you have an nvidia card or game go for x11.

        • Also PopOS manages scaling quite well, but it's not everyone's taste.

    To any non-technical ozbargainers here. These things are running a mid-tier cpu from 2017 (that's six years ago!) and 8gb of RAM is about what I'd consider the bare minimum in running windows these days.

    These devices can be handy little things, but please temper your expectations - you may find they may even struggle with running youtube videos in fullscreen, and I wouldn't expect more than a 2, maybe 3 hours of battery life.

    Still, they definitely have their uses, especially with a touch-screen.

    • +8

      I disagree. I just installed Win11 on a Toshiba laptop from 2012 with a 5th gen U series and it runs windows fine. I added an extra 4gb to bring it up to 8gb and replaced it with an SSD. It's very usable for web browsing and word documents. I'm using a 5th gen Intel NUC at the in-laws for work when I'm over there. My previous PC was an i7 4770. While it's nice to have high expectations for recommendations, I think it's unreasonable and unrealistic to disregard older generation devices.

    • +9

      I’m a current owner of this very laptop.

      I can plug it into a 4K monitor, play 4K60FPS video buttery smooth, have Spotify going, and 6 tabs of chrome.

      It’s not as bad as you think it is.

      • +1

        Can I ask if you had it new or bought it second hand off this seller? What's its battery life like surfing or youtubing. Trying to compare it to a HP elitebook x360 g2 laptop.

      • +1

        W8 what? I am currently using a Yoga 460 and it even has a discrete GPU (940M 2Gb), when I'm trying to get a 4K monitor going I could only get 30Hz. If I try to get 60Hz the whole laptop could get really laggy and unusable (even after I'm forcing to use discrete GPU instead of integrated one). But maybe it is because I am using it for 6 yrs and I play LoL and coding with it, so I cannot complain about the laptop it is a great one!

    • +1

      I have Dell XPS bought in 2012 with 8gb RAM. slow to start but its working fine for normal use. 15-20 browser tabs opened, youtube with MS Word, no problem at all. I can use photoshop but that has become extremely slow but still, i can edit images.

    • +2

      Your configuration is whats wrong if you're getting that experience. Thats not normal.

      Even a core2duo with 4gb of ram, running windows 10 can handle 1440p playback. (I maintain some old signage machines).

    • +1

      Having done this to 3rd gen Intel and old AMD based APUs as well. So agree with you as long as the expectations are right.

      1. RAM and SSD make a big difference. 8 GB is fine to start of but 16 GB makes most lappys quite usable.
      2. Mid tier SSD (around 4000-5000 MB/s Read) make them as fast as your can reasonably notice. No need to spend higher for more and although you can get away with slower SSD there isn't much of a price diff between a 2000 MB/s SSD and a 5000 MB/s SSD.
      3. Consider getting a replacement battery if you need > 3 hours. These are usually < $100.Also older batts can bulge or fail (remember these will be 6 yrs old when you get the laptop now). I would use an AU based online shop that provides many types of laptop batteries.
      4. Repaste the thermal paste on heatsinks or replace heat pads if they're torn up, thermal paste dries out and doing that and cleaning out the dust should be a basic maintenance with any used laptop. Isopropyl alchohol, cotton buds, soft makeup brush for dust. If first time doing this just take a before picture for all the wires and connectors before disconnecting and removing things. Plenty of Youtube disassembly videos which can help you approach it right, don't be rough but some connectors do require a firm amount of force to disconnect (use tweezers and pull on the connector and NOT the wire).

      You can do Office apps, Chrome and Youtube on most laptops now. Even the 3rd gen Intel (also an old Lenovo which I upgraded the CPU to Core I7) runs pretty well.
      Gaming:
      * Retro - usually OK
      * Modern games - varies, I wouldn't run AAA on these because realistically those are built and written for computers many times the price and GPU/CPU capability.
      * AAA from 2 yrs prior to the model release (sure, medium or low settings, give it a go) - again it's what you consider AAA and retro from the era (period correct)

      If you are thinking Win11 might be too much you can multi-boot different OSes) - old Lenovo 3rd gen triple booting Win11, Win10, Win7 (all official Lenovo drivers) and if you have retro things (games, old gadgets, USB peripherals) its handy to keep a machine around that can connect and use those older things.

      • Mid tier SSD (around 4000-5000 MB/s Read) make them as fast as your can reasonably notice. No need to spend higher for more and although you can get away with slower SSD there isn't much of a price diff between a 2000 MB/s SSD and a 5000 MB/s SSD.

        Errrr… sata SSD only supports up to 500 - 550 mbps

        I don't think old gen stuffs supports NVME SSD.

        Having said that , sata SSD still night and day from HDD spinning plater.

        • This model does. Supports NVME and SATA SSD M-key. The users guide also shows how to replace it.

            And i don't think this supports PCIE 4.0 NVME for 5000 MB/s

      • 4000-5000 MB/s

        That's faster than PCIE 3x4 allows!

      Afaik the 8th gen version has soldered ram, so stuck at 8gb, 7th gen with ram upgrade is a better option.

      • +2

        I wouldn't say better - it really depends on what you're doing. If it is just light use 8th gen may be a better option. In theory, you're also getting a newer machine.

        8th gen is 4 cores(4c4t vs 2c4t).

        You're also getting proper support for Windows 11. Windows 10 end of support is 2 years away

      • Oh wow… didnt think thry solder on the 8th maybe need to get the rep to confirm

        • From a quick look, all models of the 380 are soldered.

  • Does the battery last for 1 hour?

  • Is the laptop charger included?

    Sweet just purchased the extra 8gb ram upgrade for AU $33.20..

    • How do you purchase the 8gb ram upgrade, I do not see an option.

      • Here is the link you can pay extra upgrade to 16GB

        https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/304650107338

        • If I buy this do you upgrade the laptop ram before posting it to me? Thanks!

        • Thanks, I bought 2 with RAM upgrade.

        • Will I get much extra zip with 16GB for using mostly for browsing with about 12 tabs?

  • Are these in good or vg condition

  • whats the refresh rate on the screen? 60hz?

    • +1

      60Hz

  • +2

    Emulation station with TV out. Looks too good to be true, that much PC for such a low price. Fills the gap I've had with being stuck on Mac and a number of applications I want to run. HDMI to a portable projector, plus stylus could make for a fun mobile installation.

    • If mobility isn't required have a look at some of the USFF refurbs

    • +1

      I was thinking the same. Finally decided to pull the trigger and OOS lol

  • Thanks op! Just bought one. Wondering if it comes with the Thinkpad Pro pen? Didn't see it from ebay item description. Cheers

    • +1

      Seller notes: “Lenovo ThinkPad 2-IN-1 business Ultrabook, comes with stylus pen, Full HD 1920 x 1080, 360 degree rotation Touch Screen. In excellent working condition, battery health is around 70% and above. Free postage with 3 months warranty.”

      Touch Pen   Yes
      

      There is also a picture of a pen.

      • Thanks mate

  • -1

    Can I come and see the laptop before purchase?

    I just want want confidence in the condition of what I am buying. Having said that I would still prefer to drop by to see it first.

    OP is this an option… tomorrow?!

  • Looks like it’s OOS. :(

    • -1

      Thanks for meeting me know!

      Maybe the OP will still reply as they probably have other good laptops there for sale, and I'd like to go and see them first.

      • Received a private reply…

        Dear buyer,

        You can only come local pick up after purchase on eBay.

        Thank you

  • I got a couple of these last deal. They are great value for money for low demand productivity and browsing. The touch with 360 is very nice. I'm easily getting over 2.5 hours on battery, as high as 4hrs. One time battery dropped instantly from 60% to 0%, but hasn't repeated. Ageing batteries can be unreliable but replacements are cheap enough.

  • back in stock but only one left

  • Just picked mine up locally it's flawless.. made in 2019 thanks OP

  • +2

    Received. In decent condition and clean as far as I can tell.

    • Paint is worn on the edges on the main body
    • Looking closely, there are some marks where keys have pressed into the screen. These are not visible in normal use
    • Battery health looks to be about 90%
    • SSD health is 95%
    • Windows 11 setup with user user
    • Ports seem to be in decent condition
    • Keys and trackpad are shiny from use but in good condition
    • Made in 2019

    Ubuntu 22.04 installed without issue and everything seems to be working apart from the fingerprint reader. This will require a bit of investigation at some point.

    For basic web browsing and most use the system is pretty much good to go. The system is quiet in usage so far. As for Ozbargain's favourite metric - ram use with 4 tabs open is 2.5GB. It charges without issue via USB-C so will throw the charger into a draw as a spare.

    My other laptop is a MBA and while not really a fair comparison:

    • Sound. Speakers in this device are disappointing
    • Touchpad. Coming from the Mac, the click is much easier and more satisfying. Scrolling is also much better
    • Bottom edge of the screen has a massive border

    Overall, an awesome system for the price and would recommend.

    • Hi ihfree,

      Thanks for your recommend. Hope to deal with you again!

  • Received the laptop today. Just tried to reset the system and got error message saying the recovery environment is not available. Winre.wim can't be found from the PC? Any suggestions I can reset to factory settings?Thanks!

    Bought as a total impulse, after being Mac based for decades and needing an entry level budget PC for Windows software I've missed out on as an artist, DJ, video editor and game enjoyer. Seeing a laptop with the versatility of a tablet, the stylus use of a Wacom, with an IPS screen, all the ports needed and then some got my attention. I added the upgrade to 16GB as someone here had recommended, totalling $264.77.

    The speed of shipping and the condition of item received had me immediately impressed. Immaculate, with exception for a worn off sticker on the back, otherwise practically brand new. Was online in minutes, downloading Brave, customising and doing benchmarks in no time. Battery health 97%. No dead pixels. Probably look to expand storage down the line. It's not going to replace my Macbook Pro for video, but it will be part of my workflow. Plus being a 13" e-book reader as well a giant handheld for point & click games, emulation station, media player, digital canvas, etc. There's so much potential just waiting to be unlocked, for such a reasonable price. I'm probably going to demo it for someone else that needs an entry level device with this much flexibility too. Very happy with the purchase and the seller.
