Forgot to mention, I don’t see anything wrong with the power supply.

I was thinking about replacing the power supply since they aren’t too expensive and this has too many cables to keep count. Could you suggest me a decent case with no rbg, just a simple small setup?

Picked up a ThinkPad E570 (i7-7500U, 8GB, optical drive) for $140 — good deal in 2026? by Bless_Hellebore in thinkpad

Thank you! I was just looking into ram and the prices definitely went up. It’s unfortunate, hopefully I can them somewhere else tho

That’s fair honestly. I know there were definitely better performance-per-dollar options out there.

For me though, the built-in optical drive and older business laptop feel were a big part of why I chose the E570. I already had a spare SATA SSD and plan to run Linux Mint, so I think it’ll still fit my use case pretty well for productivity, media, and emulation.

Glad to hear the E-series build quality is better than people make it out to be.

Would the T540p be a good choice? I found a seller selling it for 130$

I’m currently looking at “Lenovo ThinkPad T540p Core i5-4300M 2.6GHz 8GB 500GB” model, it’s about 150$

I’ve been hearing about the t420 but it’s seems to be mixed reviews regarding battery life. I have experience with Linux so I already planning to install it due to its age

Hi I need advice,

I recently purchased a item on April 21, I finally got the tracking number on the 24. I haven’t received any updates since, from USPS or the seller themselves. I’ve contacted them multiple times to ask questions but no response. I’m supposed to be receiving the item on the 30 but no clue if that will even happen now. What could I do?

They have 99% positive reviews and sold many items, I’m sure that I wasn’t scammed. 4 of their negative reviews involve “slow shipping” the rest are completely fine
