You're just asking for trouble.

Really? People who I've talked said they all have good transactions on these websites. A pitty... they had decent prices... in this case i might aswell buy a T410 or something else

>>60309123
Everything I've bought for my T430 so far I have gotten off of eBay. Had pretty good luck so far.

Includes the Nvidia heatsink, i7 3612qm, HDD tray, RAM.

> Are chink websites like Aliexpress a good place to buy parts from?
They're not bad, but usually you can get newer parts for ~the same price locally.

It's mainly interesting for recycling bin / salvage parts. Which usually are verified okay, but not always perfectly.

I don't quite get why people are buying Thinkpads. pls explain

They're cheap and adequate.

good preformance for buck, can last very long, comfy design imo, not really fan of allpe clones, extreamly good keyboard, Lenovo is givving best support, fixed Intel ME bug in a week

>>60309123
just sell it and buy one with the specs you want, it will always be more cost efficient to do it that way. And you wont have to worry about garbage knock off parts from china

Cheap, cheap to maintain / repair, good performance for price. Really my favourite things about my T410 are its keyboard, which is excellent, and it's fucking bomb-proof. Got three kids running amok, and while they're rarely near my laptop one can never be sure. The hinges are brilliant too. I spent £78 on mine (eBay) and it'll probably outlive me and the apocalypse.

I've bought the CPU, 9-cell Battery, RAM, 1600x900 display, Keyboard, ExpressCard usb 3.0 adapter and the EXP GDC adapter when i used to ran an external gpu setup on my T420.

No issues at all.

Oi what's wrong with the T410? I know there are better models but I love mine, it's a perfect programming and shitposting machine.
