Is the hp EliteBook 8540w a good laptop? I found one in our "disposed" stack at work and I am reinstalling it atm. Thinking about saving it. Should I?

The screen is probably better and chinkpad prices are slightly inflated on eBay because of the meme. You dun gud, OP.

Its been that way for a year or so now. I still buy them because I'm not as familiar with Elitebooks or Latitudes. I know that comparable generations of ThinkPads are 30-50usd more than their Latitude and Elitebook alternatives.
The premium on Macs is 80-140usd, so I guess the ThinkPad premium isn't too bad.

unironically better than the T420 everyone loves around here
too bad quadro cards age like milk, but still good hw anon, keep it
