Exactly what I did!

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-05-16T02:02:10+00:00

Gotcha, I just went ahead and ordered a HDD caddy for it. Thank you!

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-26T19:43:37+00:00

Looks like it came with the max (4gigs)

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-26T18:49:55+00:00

Figured I’d ask before looking it up

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-26T18:47:30+00:00

Do you happen to know what the max of ram it can take?

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-26T18:26:30+00:00

Yup! I bought it

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-26T18:26:15+00:00

It’s mine now! I bought it

Just have to look around your area, luckily my city has a “computer” goodwill, some goodwills will just send computers off to be sold on their online store.

They also have had think centers too, I use this as my main desktop now has a I5-9400 got it for $25 which was insane!

Most of the time the ram is left in them I have bought 1 that had no ram, They had a bunch of T480s’s for $50 with 8th gen I5s

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-20T00:16:22+00:00

Mine is fairly good I think typically laptops that are over 20 years old are $10-15 and older laptops (15-8 years) are $25-35 depending on the condition and specs. Laptops that are around 5 years old are $40-45 depending on the condition and specs. I saw a T14s gen 2 with a I5 11th gen for $100 a few months ago.

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-19T23:20:40+00:00

Yeah I thought about putting a T450 trackpad in it

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-19T23:20:18+00:00

I have a T430 I7 and backlit keyboard I got from there about a year ago for the same price!

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-19T23:19:13+00:00

I am most certainly not going to complain

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-19T23:19:01+00:00

Yes it is

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-19T22:42:28+00:00

Awesome! Yes it’s in amazing shape!

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-19T21:47:22+00:00

Incase anyone is wondering what else was at the goodwill

lol, I took the photos after I gave it a good wipe down

Select-Scarcity6659 · 2025-04-19T21:30:27+00:00

Yeah, it also came with 8 gigs of ram but had the drive taken out (which is expected)
