The company I work for has auctions every week where they sell used stuff, mostly hp, lenovo laptops and mac mini(late 2014). So I got my t480 for 120 bucks, core i7-8650u, 32GB ram, 256 ssd nvme. It really rocks!
yeah i just bought it cost mine about $275.come with i5 8350u 16gb ram finger print double battery ( internal bat rather crap) ,256gb byte, plan to change the nvme to like 512gb for more space cause all i use for this laptop just simple coding on vsc or jupyter book also using google colab, yeah i rather need like 32gb ram cause im using open alot of tabs and open big workbooks now the rame stick around like 11gb im fully using. I also usually put it as workstation beside of my pc got a HDMI switcher to to swithc the monitor input from my computer to this laptop. The battery with all the work stay around 3.5 hours i realize that internal hdd have like 52% wear i need to replace it soon + an extra external battery so i still can work when im travelling :D. SOlid DANG laptop.
Personally I would replace manjaro with endeavor os due to it still being arch based, but not having the controversies manjaro has. But overall, nice laptop!
I picked up a Thinkpad T14 Gen3 i7-1260p for $400 used off a guy on FB marketplace. $140 I upped the HDD to 1TB and RAM to 40GB (8GB soldered + 32GB). Amazing laptop...will probably end up using it for the next 5 years or more.
Congratulations, I just bought the same one (it will take 30-35 days to arrive). From all the reviews I've read, I'm convinced it's a good buy. How many hours of autonomy do the batteries have? Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It came with the "normal" size external battery, and I'd guess ~6 hours. Shortly after I got it I bought a 72Wh 6600mAh 6-Cell external battery (knock-off brand), which is big and adds a lot of weight, but now I'd guess ~12 hours. That's using Manjaro Linux with the stock power saving settings, YMMV. It's my all-time favorite laptop.
Good morning Tobin, I would like to connect with you. I have a class project about and I decided to use GIS Mecklenburg portal to write some python codes. I would like to connect with you to ask couple questions.
I bought the same one on Amazon and put pop!_OS on it. I'm mostly happy with it, but if I remove the external battery it doesn't power on. My understanding is that it should still work. Not sure if that's true though.
That is what my work laptop is! I upped it to a 2TB SSD and 32GB of RAM and it is still solid compared to some of the newer work laptops.

Check if the builtin battery is enabled. Go into the BIOS settings.
I'd put Slackware on it.
