I bought it from eBay. It is the best computer Ive had in a while, even tho is somewhat old. I love it.

Lenovo makes awesome notebooks and the keyboards are great to type on. Id recommend swapping out the HDD for an SSD and upgrading the RAM if it only has 4GB to at least 8 or even 16 if it supports it. Probably cost you another $80 or so but it's well worth it, especially the SSD. GL with it!

Already came with 8 gb of ram. I bought it without a hard drive so I just put an SSD there that I already had.

That's awesome, it's going to be a great notebook.

Very mint condition, congrats! Better dualboot it with Batocera for play Retro games..

Interesting, but can I run it on a virtual machine instead? I have a Raspberry Pi with Retropie where I have a big ROM collection, would be nice to play them with this nice laptop.

Yes, you can check on their wiki here. Seems easy to setup..

That's a beautiful machine! I just fixed up a T440p and I love it, but I broke the clip that holds the trackpad ribbon so now I have no trackpad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

F for the trackpad, but hopefully you can fix it. Thank you.
