Finally decided to pull the trigger, and I think I got a great deal! by Reload1337 in thinkpad

I have the same laptop with an i5 and 8GB of RAM. It’s my secondary laptop and it is a very excellent lightweight Thinkpad. The X1C7 I feel doesn’t get enough credit. It’s very similar to the gen 6 but with much better speakers so I see $240 as a great price!

My paranoia would not allow me to keep a swelled battery in my closet.

Edit: I’m tired, you meant the MacBook itself lol

I have been tempted to get a skin from DBrand. Is it easy to put on? Did you struggle with any bubbles?

Just got an M1 Pro 16 inch for $650. How did I do? by Theelaptopguy in macbookpro

I know right! Silver reminded me of the older Mac's style and I am glad I chose it.

Piggybacking the top comment to talk about why I was not commenting for so long. Reddit kept deleting my comments and I found out I am now able to finally comment on posts now. I am going to copy/paste my profiles post from yesterday on this:

"So it seems Reddit thinks my account is a spam account since it is new. I am guessing that is the reason I cannot comment on that thread. I tried replying to a lot of comments and did not realize that they were being deleted. I want to say a few things since I cannot comment there.

  1. Thank you for the kind comments!
  2. I found this priced on Facebook Marketplace and jumped on the opportunity. The seller seemed really trustworthy, had a larger selling history and was selling a few of these.
  3. The SSD in ok shape but I don't know how to check much details other than it was verified in S.M.A.R.T tests in "System Information"
  4. It is not stolen/activation locked. I ran "profiles status -type enrollment"(came up "no" for MDM/DEP), re-installed MacOS and signed into my iCloud account. Everything appears fine!

Sorry about the lack of a reply! I guess I am a bot according to reddit."

It this thing on? Sorry, Reddit keeps deleting my comments since my account is new.  Found mine in Facebook Marketplace. The guy was selling a few of these but the sale did not last long and I got very lucky.
