  • Refurbished ThinkPads are awesome!

    • Availability - ThinkPads are very popular in corporate environments and are generally replaced every 2-3 years. Although mostly Intel CPUs, there is a wide variety CPU+GPU available from lightweight to high performance.
    • Tough + well built + last forever
    • Easy to upgrade/repair. They’re very user-accessible and its simple to upgrade RAM or SSD/M.2 drives. Plus, because they are so popular in the corporate environment, replacement parts (from batteries to WiFi+Bluetooth chipsets to trckpads) are very available and cheap.
    • Well supported in most (if not all) linux distros. Graphics just work, trackpads just work, WiFi just works.
    • Cheap.
