Thinkpad vs Elitebook

i've got memed into buying a used X220 earlier this week and i love it. waiting for a mSATA and more RAM to upgrade the hardware, probably a new battery, but it's a great laptop for the money. the build qualitiy worths the price alone.

x220 vs x230? thoughts?

It is. SATA II vs the SATA port which uses SATA III.

X230 if you gaymen

nah you won't notice that shit during daily usage, only when copying large files. it's still a ssd.

I get a used T430 with Core i7 and an SSD for 350 bucks here, wonder why I should think about anything else?

We use those in our company and so far people didn't manage to break one of them. Must be about 60 refurbished notebooks in use now.

sounds like a great deal, what i have found so far is a bit pricier, specially the i7 stuff ...

That photo makes me laugh.

I have a T420 that I stuck an SSD in and some extra RAM (6 gigs total) and it runs like a champ. Even with the RAM and SSD the whole thing cost me around $200 (got refurbished thinkpad on newegg).

whichever one is better price/shape that day on ebay, unless usb 3, keyboard layout, or igpu power is super important to you
