Is that always a 64 bit computer , correct?

Yes

@voiday

Did they limit only the i7s to 45?

All of the dual cores are 35W, some quad cores are 35W, most quads are 45W and the 3920XM and 3940XM are 55W

Guys , I need an advice. If I wanted to get a thinkpad with Intel Core i5 , 500GB HDD and 8GB ram , which price would you say it's a bargain?

Are you saying I could get this for even less than 100? wow

Thats the lower-performance cpu.

All of the dual cores are 35W, some quad cores are 35W, most quads are 45W and the 3920XM and 3940XM are 55W

Modern dual cores are 15W.

Modern dual cores are 15W.

I'm referring to Ivy Bridge

The most modern ones are 15W with configurable TDP-up to 25W.

that's 4GB RAM

He didn't specify which i5 he wanted, @Wolfshappen

And risk having a broken machine, it not sent at all and and and.

Then you instantly fall into the "give me my money back" argument with paypal and it will always be resolved within 7 Days, I've had it solved in a matter of hours before

that's 4GB RAM

Just insert a second stick, come on =)

that's 4GB RAM

You can swap that.

Thats the lower-performance cpu.

And with the frankly, trash TN 1366x768 screen

And with the frankly, trash TN 1366x768 screen

I was about to send a better one. :P

No wait, she had changed that already in the optional config xD

that's 4GB RAM

That price is for the 8GB RAM. With only 4 it's 39€ cheaper.

https://www.luxnote-hannover.de/notebooks/allrounder/lenovo-thinkpad-t430.html https://www.luxnote-hannover.de/notebooks/mobil/lenovo-thinkpad-x230.html The x230 has a 12" screen 430 has a 14" one.

You should select one with a higher resolution screen, ideally IPS.

I second this, although not everyone is bothered by resolution screen.

(There is currently no IPS model available for the x230 on luxnotes site)

Hey Tobias you want to know the worst part about flipping laptops? Having to install windows on them

The layout of the keyboard should be italian. Does the price go up?

It's literally the most time consuming part of it

Hey Tobias you want to know the worst part about flipping laptops? Having to install windows on them

You do that?

Ew. xD

Hey Tobias you want to know the worst part about flipping laptops? Having to install windows on them

Why would you install Windows?

I would install Arch Linux on it.

Why would you install Windows?

Because it's more than likely going to someone incompetent

It's literally the most time consuming part of it

Why dont you make a "ready to ship" disk image you just have to write on it?

Because it's more than likely going to someone incompetent

Install Cinnamon Spin or Ubuntu if you hate them, and that's all.

Unless they're PC gamers or work on design, there is no point in having Windows.

Don't ignore me xD

Why dont you make a "ready to ship" disk image you just have to write on it?

Well you see, that would just be a stock Windows image so grbabing the same USB Stick is a lot easier since I don't really have to worry about drivers since they're on that USB Stick

Don't ignore me xD

I'm not ignoring you. Look, here you have a list of laptops with i5 cores and 500GB discs: https://www.luxnote-laptop.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=500gb

Unless they're PC gamers or work on design, there is no point in having Windows.

I don't know who it's going to :P

The layout of the keyboard should be italian. Does the price go up?

Kohane , read here lmao

Ew. xD

Hey, being able to make ~100 GBP For essentially an hours worth of work is pretty nice

btw, I'd not install Windows on it

The layout of the keyboard should be italian. Does the price go up?

I didn't try to configure it for Italian. Does it have any special key? If not, the German will do.

If I ever wanted to I could just grab some SSD's from my old review stock and then have much higher profit margins

The layout of the keyboard should be italian. Does the price go up?

Likely.

Ask them if they even have italian available. :P

Hey, being able to make ~100 GBP For essentially an hours worth of work is pretty nice

That's robbery!

No , it should not have any special keys as far as I remember

Ask them if they even have italian available. :P

They do ?i remember their site being displayed in italian

No , it should not have any special keys as far as I remember

They have german and english.

That's robbery!

Buying stuff at insane deals and then refurbishing it and putting some nicer hardware in it when you're very well acquainted with the platform doesn't take too long

No , it should not have any special keys as far as I remember

Then English UK or German, supposing they don't have Italian. Send them an email, they reply very fast.

No, I meant 100£ for installing Windows.

No, I meant 100£ for installing Windows.

That's not where the cost comes from :P

Can you recommend a few more places where to look for thinkpads besides luxnote and the subreddit?

Getting new palmrests, keyboards, fixing screen scratches or dents / wear on the laptops as well as giving it a clean out and upgrading the hardware to be suitable for a daily life laptop

Because charging over 50 GBP for anything with spinning rust is robbery

I had a 7980XE System on LN2 with a old laptop HDD and it was unironically slower than my T60 With an SSD

Can you recommend a few more places where to look for thinkpads besides luxnote and the subreddit?

Look for local stores, to see if there's anything that might be easier or cheaper (on equal hardware). And Amazon, but to buy in Amazon one has to be experienced on that and in choosing hardware, and you're clearly not. So I wouldn't recommend it.

Oh. Okay. I misunderstood then.

What thing is a palmrest?

Well , I'm not experiencing with thinkpad prices compared to hardware xD

Usually it's a case of remove the original drive and throw an SSD in, check palmrest is fine, magic eraser the top lid, clean up the keyboard, clean the screen, install windows and lenovo utils

What thing is a palmrest?

Everything around your keyboard

Well , I'm not experiencing with thinkpad prices compared to hardware xD

Look into local stores to have a better idea, now you have a starting point. Compare what you see in your city with what you already saw in Luxnote. Feel free to ask if you're in doubt.

Make sure it doesn't have any cracks, scratches or spots from overuse

Dankeschon guysss!

Oh. And it has a name? To me that's part of the laptop case.

This group is the most helpful one xD

Sometimes they're going to be a little bit shiny and that's usually when I replace them as it means they've been used extensively and the fitment probably has issues anyway

Oh. And it has a name? To me that's part of the laptop case.

Well it's the bit where your palm rests so the name sort of falls right in :P

Well it's the bit where your palm rests so the name sort of falls right in :P

Yeah, yeah, it's just that I never thought it would have a name of its own.

I mean, it's not a separated piece but part of the case, so to me is just "case". Or "the upper part of the case".

Yeah, yeah, it's just that I never thought it would have a name of its own.

On the X230 It really makes sense to call it a palmrest, since if you take a look at it uh... it really is just the palm rest bit

I mean, it's not a separated piece but part of the case, so to me is just "case". Or "the upper part of the case".

Ah, but they're almost always seperated, just held together by hooks or screws

Okay. That's a laptop I don't mean to use. But yeah, I can see why it makes sense there.

You will notice a very thin line on basically any laptop

Ah, but they're almost always seperated, just held together by hooks or screws

I don't see any hooks. It's a single piece covering all the upper side of the laptop. It would be weird if there are screws or whatever. And annoying.

The screws are on the back.

They're usually on the bottom or the hooks on the inside

On the T440 the palmrest is held in place by some screws underneath the rear case

So... upper part of the case and lower part of the case, with stuff (ports, mother, etc) sandwiched in the middle, held together with screws, hooks and sometimes glue.

Yeah, except on the older X Series of thinkpads where it's like, 5 Screws on the bottom and it pops off

I like disassembling X230, basically a bunch of screws to get anything except for cooling system ^^

Yeah, exactly the opposite of my colleague's HP, where everything was soldered, glued and/or tightly screwed.

Horriblest thing I ever seen. I don't know if "horriblest" is an actual word, but describes it perfectly.

I like disassembling X230, basically a bunch of screws to get anything except for cooling system ^^

Meanwhile on my T430 You need 4 Screws to access literally every primary hardware component except the CPU

You can access your 3 Drives, both of your RAM slots and your WiFi Card

Only time you need to remove the palmrest is if you want to change the cooler or if you want to change the lid assembly

You can access your 3 Drives, both of your RAM slots and your WiFi Card

3? You mean mSATA?

3? You mean mSATA?

mSATA + ODD + Normal SATA

I just consider it a third drive because that's what I've run for the longest time in mine

I also have mSATA in my X230 but still haven't used.

One day I'll install Windows on it. XD

Oh, god no plepase

Just get a 4G WWAN Card ;)

Same for some dells, however just 3 screws give free access to heatsink too
