Lenovo ThinkPad X230

**School, work and general use case**- I have to do a lot of work, from volunteering, school assignments( doing a lot of reviews during summer) and my hobby of Android dev work, messing with a PI( making a bunch of PI handhelds) and a lot of Geomatics modelling( I have a desktop but seeing a laptop do stuff like this just fills me with joy, 8c/ 16T on a laptop for 1000 CAD is wild), no complaints. **Battery life**- After a lot of BIOS update and drivers, battery has improved by a lot. I get 8 hr, long as your not doing CAD. So on wifi, doing a lot of lab reports, math practice, YouTube it will get 8 hr for me.

I liked the product, but at this point, I didnt think it was worth the amount I payed. This laptop is amazing on the hackintosh, and I would recommend if your trying to learn how to install it on a laptop. Also one thing I didnt like was the mouse pad, the keyboard is amazing and this laptop can tak...

A used work station like a lenovo thinkpad from the p range or a HP zbook no more than a few years old and get the best spec you can find.

The computer itself is fine, but when Staria-inc was installing the keyboard the forgot to screw back in the keyboard retaining screws. I messaged them and asked if they could send them to me but they did not respond. So now I will have to order 50 screws ro get the I need. It was a simple error, ea...

Sorry i'm just curious, what exactly do you do to open and close laptops so many times?

I would definitely look into business laptop. Used ones can be very affordable. dell latitude, lenovo thinkpad, hp elitebook...

pros: fast processor, memory expandable to 16G, good keyboard, windows 7 license, quiet, seem sturdy cons: there aren't any (if i really try, i can mention two things here: it's thicker than today's standard, and the "H" key is a bit worn) i have replaced the ssd to a 480GB model, and expanded the m...

I gone for a used thinkpad x230 running linux for college. It was wonderful, portable, sturdy and the battery life suited me well enough. If you are lucky tho, you can get up to a more recent t480 (14") on the used market.

Put an SSD and 16 gig of Ram add an extra battery. Hardly seems worth it but now I have that classic ThinkPad typing feel and very fast computer. If you fill out tons of forms or write lots of email and documents, meaning typing comfort and speed is critically important then you know why I spent mor...

You can get decent condition Lenovo X230 or T460 (it's huge tho). Screens are kinda meh, but they were built like a tank.

This was a great little computer while it lasted. Unfortunately, I gave it to my ex-girlfriend's 12 year old son, in an attempt to win back her love. He liked it so much he would take it to bed with him, unfortunately, rolling over on it in his sleep and breaking the screen. Now, I either have to bu...
