Used ThinkPad's are stupid cheap and insanely reliable
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 ноя 2023
- A used Lenovo ThinkPad P series is one of the best tech deals you can get if you're in the market for a laptop. These PC's had state of the art technology when new and are designed to be easily repaired and upgraded. You can max the RAM out at 64GB, and with 2 NVMe and 1 2.5" SATA, there's no reason you can't have all your 8K homework in one place. Gaming is possible on the newer models like the P53 and P15, though they do cost a bit more. If you're a bit clumsy, these models are so much sturdier than a new consumer computer so they make a great choice for a basic user like a student or child.

This model, the ThinkPad P52 and the ThinkPad T480 are also called "the very last great ThinkPad" as it offered a lot of customization (fully upgradable RAM, a lot of port selection, and swappable battery) that got taken away in the next generation
Yup!
Can confirm, bought a used thinkpad T480 last year. Works great for school (including compiling code), media consumption, emulating wii games, etc. gaming and screen brightness are the only thing I’m missing. Best part js, I fucked up the keyboard and replaced it in 5 minutes for 30 bucks. Battery was old so I got a bigger one for 40 bucks and it lasts for days in battery saver mode. Both of these fixes are so simple you don’t even need to open the computer up, just slide things in and out.
There are genuine benefits to soldering ram, and the battery is a few screws to remove
I was given a T14 Gen 2 from work - that is the biggest trash I ever used. It repaced and awasme T450 that severd me well for 5 years. However that thing is just shokingly bad.
@@leahheffernan4644 the primary battery on the T480 is held in with spring loaded clips, no screws needed (and the benefits of soldering ram for ddr4 are highly overrated, especially on a machine that’s otherwise so low powered)

Currently rocking this exact thinkpad. One thing I love about it is that the hinge does not make any creaking sound when opening the lid. And also it feels like a slab of solid aluminum.
I feel you brotha. I grew poor as fuck too and it help mold me into the greatest home certified engineer thats ever lived. Great content, your channel is a fresh breath of air in the tech community.
I think the dings and scratches on the laptop add character, like battles well fought that it made it through to get here today.
Exactly
i thank your laptop for its service
@@SalemTechspertshad 3. Lenavos swapped parts and made 2 good. Ones
my x270 is like this. worn out and looks beautiful than when I first got it.
I gotta find that kind of ring camera
I heard Louis Rossmann has one he's giving away....
@SalemTwjer you getting. Repair parts
I bought a used T490 three years ago and irs still going great.
I forgot that there were thinkpads that new that were still good. I bought an ideapad that was practically DOA years ago and it made me disregard the whole company so it's nice to know I wouldn't have to go as far back as the IBM models to get something decent.
The p50 is awesome. Had a p71 in college and that thing was a monster.
I have P50 ,its from 2016 and still done everything with easy,off course i upgrade it to 64 gb off ram ,4K screen ,great keyboard ,still awsome battery ,and has 2 PCIe ports + 2.5 inch so you will never ever get out off storage
@@dzonikgHow and why did you upgrade the screen?
@@crissydogg It was 4K as new,did not upgrade it
Which cpu and graphics did yours have?
@@dzonikg 64gigs of ram? ru serious
I am not poor but fixing up electronics and making myself useful DIY makes me so much happy man. Like recently i fixed some fairy lights and made myself a phone and laptop cooler. Not only i save money but i feel great that i save so much stuf going into dump and helping environment 😊
This is the way
Had one of these for work. Never a problem in 3 years, just a reliable machine. Way better than the budget crap they sell for home use in best buy.
We had a ThinkPad at home and boy, did that thing last. No screen, no battery, half the keys missing, BUT IT STILL DAMN BOOTS UP AND RUNS HALFWAY DECENT CONSIDERING THAT ITS LIKE 15 YEARS OLD NOW. Salute to a legend
THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THATS EVER LIVED.
always love your posts man
Thank you for watching
BBL has just been added to my vocabulary
using a p51 with 32 gigs of ram
smooth as butter for web development and moderate gaming
i bought a t540p for 60 dollars inclusive of shipping so it was basically 40 dollars. saw other offers for ThinkPads for 70 dollars that included a spare battery and an i7 instead of i5 like the one I bought.
it runs fast AF and it's dope as hell I love it...keep spreading the word. the p series are my dream ThinkPad.
the greatest BBL of all time.

my mom was lent a thinkpad by the company she works at around a decade ago, and only about 2 years ago did the company decide to upgrade... to better thinkpads. the unit she was given never had a problem and never got replaced; it was still chugging along in the last few years before the upgrade.
My old Thinkpad was one of the most solid computers I've had. All it needs is a new battery and some cleaning up and I bet it go on for a a few more years.
I have 20 thinkpad's in the room with me right now, all of them were free, I will never run out of working laptops
We donate a ton to charity, it makes a great reliable laptop
The Thinkpads at the park are free. Nobody tells you, but they are. I have 538 Thinkpads.
I had got a few Toshiba Satellite laptops from the late 90's from my uncle and they weighed probably 10 pounds each. I miss them
Picked up a P50 a couple of years ago for 600$. Absolutely love that thing. I am still trying to track down a port replicater for it.
I rescued a ThinkPad L480 at a recycling center. It came with no bottom case and no SSD tho. I remember seeing it fall when i tried taking it from the e waste center. I gave it a 512 GB NVMe SSD and I still need a bottom cover for it. It still works tho, and it works very well too

I sell a different brand for my employer and have been in tech 30 years. However, I recommend used Thinkpads to friends and family. All my kids have used thinkPads. They are solid.
TRUTH. Those milled aluminum hinges should be industry standard
The greatest technician that’s ever lived really loves his BBLS
The greatest technician intro was spot on this video! 😂
Got one for christmas, because I knew it's one of the most powerful Windows 7 compatible laptop. So far, hasn't failed me once and it's been an absolute JOY to use. Most powerful PC I've owned
this man’s jokes and out of pocket lines are the funniest things i’ve ever heard
I own a p50 like this one, pretty solid machine and huge upgrade options.
Did the same thing, needed a PC for myself but instead of buying a new one i got a 5 year old HP desktop which are generally used by offices for document editing and stuff, had decent specs i5 6500 and 8gigs of ram, all under 200 dollars
You can get an HP EliteDesk w/ AMD Ryzen with Vega 11 for less than $200 now, it's insane.
@@SalemTechsperts well, my county offices don't use those unfortunately, so I got what I thought was the best one for my use case.
Love the video! My college library has a loaner laptop that looks like this and it's pretty much new. Being able to use a reliable computer in a quiet space has exponentially helped my productivity.
This is definitely the way. Businesses usually have a rotation of their laptop and desktop fleet around every 3 to 4 years in big companies and most of the time theyre in decent workable condition and are much sturdier than your normal tech store laptops.
Stuff like your Dell Latitudes, Lenovo Thinkpads, HP ProBooks etc are your go to.
I understand the struggle man!!
❤️ ✊
As someone who fixed a free broken thinkpad who used it for over a year, I can confirm that these things are amazing. I only stopped using it bc I upgraded
thinkpads are soo good, when i worked in a support job and had too setup customer laptops T14's were the ones i looked forward to, new or old they look and feel almost identical, they're easy to work on and just look great
The whole tinder date statement had me broken in laughter 😂
That's my old work notebook, i loved that thing
I personally love BBCs

I had a refurbished Thinkpad for a while. Amazing machines
I hope his parents are proud of him now. He is awesome
I feel personally attacked by the tinder date thing
Then don't attack yourself. Put the meat down.
We bought a Thinkpad, a slightly newer model but refurbished for very little money and it's great! We only use it when we travel, but oh boy how reliable it is and even the battery management is a dream 😍
I used that laptop 13 years ago for troubleshooting and testing etc… and that my friend is one heck of a laptop.. it’s so durable and just heavy duty machine.

Hah, thank you so much!!!
Ah yes, the ClitMouse™
Funny, I watch this short right now on my P51. I bought it used 1,5 year ago. With I7, Quadro graphiccard, 32 gb ram and 1 tb nvme ssd storage, for 600 euro. I use it for work and study and it´s a great device.
I bought a refurbished compact one for my dad like four five years ago and it's never had any problems, they are tanks.
The Greatest Technician that EVER LIVED💀
Imaginary group of friends you didn't had to go that deep😢
I use one myself, and I totally agree. The P series with NVIDIA GPUs are pretty good for gaming as well.
Durable used thinkpad + nice desktop PC is my jam. Parsec remote desktop gives new life to the thinkpad
These thinkpads look good
I love that there's just a bare ps3 there. If it works it works
I have three ThinkPads, oldest is about nine years. All still work fine. All have been upgraded from time to time. They just won't quit.
➢ Thinkpad X230 and X260 were also essentially smaller but equally as great.
.- I have an X230, and the amount of ports including DisplayPort and size make it carryable like a MacBook
“I grew up poor as fuck” relatable
"so you don't need an adapter to charge your vibr... Apple Watch"😂
Bought a used P50 4 years ago. Love it to bits!
2017-2018 had the last acceptable ThinkPads... Some argue 2013 or even 2005 but I like to say 2018. Sure, it doesn't have the same fit and finish, but they still hold up great
Excuse you mr The Greatest Technician that's ever lived but we do not "beat our meat" this month 😞

@@SalemTechspertsso you have already failed?
For the bloody algorithm
may it bless you with many memes and fortune
I couldnt make people understand that for years dude. The thing to me is, when you pay for something expensive your expectations would be high as well as the price. But when you find -most of the time used- stuff and they actually work better than you expect, or fits your expectations it makes it a lot better.
My pc was bought refurbished on ebay, best idea i ever had
Oh yes, I hate when I have to jump through hoops to charge my dilapple watch and cocring doorbell.
"I grew up poor as fuck" i can relate to that
The trend of flatter laptops is a crime.
I want my gaming laptop to survive being in a bag and surviving the outdoors and thick enough to cool itself without needing an array of fans plugged in under it.
im so glad the used ThinkPad scene is getting the attention it deserves
Call that a Thiccpad
Shit i love BBL's aswell,
When I was in college, the university first implemented a policy that all students had to have a laptop. This was the laptop that the university would sell to you if you didn’t want to buy a different one, and what they gave for free to students that were there on financial aid. Everyone assumed that, because the university was giving them out, they must have sucked- but we were all pleasantly surprised at how solid they were.
did you study in australia?
@@eone199 No, USA
The funny thing is that the IT dept in my college only lent out Lenovo Thinkpads. They were assigned to the professors as well if they didn't have their own and it's a literal dinosaur to carry around. But man did they hold up over the years...
Missed the "BBC"
BIG BLACK COMPUTERS
Nah, personally I prefer "BBC"
BIG BEIGE COMPUTERS!
I too grew up in a pretty low-income family (I believe mostly due to poor financial management), and fixing stuff became second nature.
All my PCs were "franken-PCs" cobbled together from whatever garbage parts we could scrounge up, and we had to share a single desktop with internet access. My first new computer was a cheap and crappy Compaq laptop I got when I was around 16-17.
Having the means to get proper equipment is amazing, and I pray I won't ever end up in in the same financial hell my parents did.
I haven't done this with laptops yet but I've been doing it for a decade with general purpose desktops (office work, light browsing, etc). It's cheaper to just buy a whole new PC than to buy the parts and that's even before diagnostic time. Just swap the drive over and away you go. I was averaging replacing one around every 2 years.
Still have my dad's X220. A pure beast after upgraded.
Dude , I love all your videos... Never enough
I appreciate that!
“Usually with duct tape” same here, I’m stuck repairing my laptop with rubber bands, scotch tape, and prayers
I just like the little red trackpoint in the keyboard.
True! I have P50 and absolutely love it 7 years
I like most ThinkPad models, but the P series are solid laptops that like you say are probably the closest think to classic ThinkPads. They are are pretty durable, have ample ports (for the most part, looking at you P16 without an RJ45 port), perform well, and are generally pretty reliable. Like you said you can find good deals on used ones too, and even older models like the P50 and P70 are still pretty good.
love your vision!
thank you for upcycling ideas and humor!
I've had a older think pad my dad gave me for Christmas 6 years ago. I am never buying another, this thing gets the job done nicely
This is the first bit of content I've seen from this individual. I approve 😂
My mom needed an new laptop , came straight to me since I deal with used laptops specifically and resell them locally. Set her up with an 2020
unibody Mac book w/ fast charger at her request for $350. eBay is an wonderful place; just gotta be patient with deals.
Legit needed a laptop , bought a second hand ThinkPad L590 , best purchase of my life.
Louis Rossman got me onto thinkpads. Never look back. As long as there are second hand x240s I will buy
we still got a T520 fro 2009 i think? I slapped in a 120GB SSD and gave it to my mother, she uses it for FB and the games up there, watching movies and series and browsing the net, 100% goot for it + i connected a 24" samsung monitor that i used for my gaming setup so she can actually see on the biger screen so it's all fine but yeah, thinkpads are something else, like goddamn it's from 2009 and the keyboard is still one of the bests i've ever used
