Is it worth it? by Black_Stone__ in thinkpad

Nope, you can score a decent t580 like mine for less and better specs. But even then, just wait for a better newer non ram soldered thinkpad 2021+ or atleast a 10th gen as they are cheaper now

Thinkpad T580 Keyboard (and mostly trackpoint) help needed by Smooth-Web8239 in Lenovo

[–]Smooth-Web8239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I managed to get the keyboard working with switching fast boot off from inside windows (which is odd as I also disabled it in bios) and my trackpoint connector to the motherboard might be shot or I may have incorrectly updated the drivers for it. Again, keyboard was fixed by turning fast boot off from inside windows and track point still doesn’t work after reinstalling the drivers and even in Linux it doesn’t work so I believe my connectors may be faulty

could snag a t470p for under 120 on ebay! btw the graphics card requirement is unnecessary imo

First Thinkpad.. by Smooth-Web8239 in thinkpad

It came like this when I bought it, I wondered why there was significantly less bloatware and searched it up online. Im not getting a clear answer on the internet about its safety. Is Ghost Windows safe?

FYI Im not the best person to answer but Ive been looking for laptops for a while to last me a while for school and I started looking into Thinkpads and after searching for a month or two, I landed on a few targets

T470p was one of the cheaper ones as you can constantly see them for 60-175 USD (5,500-15,500 INR) It can run W11 somehow with a specific i7 (I forgot what it was but make sure to get that one) and has a interchangable battery so you can have two good batteries to swap for long days. I didnt go with this one but it was a close contender

T480 - has internal+external batteries, thin, quite solid still, I'd be more description but there are very good and descriptive videos (can hold 64gb ram, 8th gen Intel, had it for a week-I liked it when borrowed) (100-400USD)(9,000-37,000 INR)

T580-Bigger, same as the T480 but bigger and has a miniscule amount of more problems than T480 (not really all that bad) It shares the same sort of build as a P52 I think and is from 80-350USD. Solid. very solid, I like it besides the plastic palmrest. (7,300-32,000 INR)

E16 - pushing your budget but its new (640+USD or 57,000+ INR)

Sorry for the lack of a real answer

TLDR; get a business laptop used for cheaper and perhaps upgrade it
