And of course I’m installing Linux on it. Install went well, even the fingerprint sensor built in to the laptop works.

Mostly this will be a school and DND machine but always nice to have a functional laptop for whatever else I may need it for.

    Right on! I’ve been using a refurbished t14s for years. Which one did you catch?

    Edit: nvm, I see it’s a T480. Solid choice!

      Yep. Personally my first choice is the t490. Theres so many in great condition.

      I like to imagine the IT debt in some office building buying and hording t490s just to be sure they don’t lose their budget next year.
