Lenovo T430 Business Laptop computer Intel i5-3320m up tp 3.3GHz, 8GB DDR3, 128GB SSD, 14" HD LED-backlit display, DVD, HD Webcam, 802.11b/g/n, HDMI, USB 3.0, Windows 10 Pro (Renewed)

This laptop is still a great purchase in 2019 for a few reasons. 1. It is affordable. Seriously, if you want something cheaper than this you're probably going to have to settle for something that either has a very cheap and easy to scratch touch pad or just a straight up chrome book. Nothing against chrome books, but they aren't real computers. 2. The keyboard is responsive and the keys are similar enough to what you'd expect from the old IBM keyboards. 3. These computers are classics. Frankly you just can't get that classic aesthetic with other more modern machines. 4. Are you a Linux user? If not then what are you even doing with yourself mate? But for real, my machine came with windows 8 installed and ready for setup, which of course I didn't finish with because I don't know how to use windows but if I did then I would've been just fine. 5. My girlfriend says I have to apologize to all windows users, so I'm sorry for being mean about your OS. 6. The red dot works as a pretty great alternative for a the touch bad but my girlfriend says it'll take off your finger prints if you use it too much. So far I still have my finger prints. 7. If you buy this and the wifi doesn't work DO NOT PANIC! There is a switch on the right side which toggles airplane mode. 8. This laptop came with a CD drive. I thought those were all destroyed in the war. 9. The CD drive keeps opening on me. So the laptop might be haunted. 10. The battery on this lasts really long. Possibly because the laptop has supernatural properties, see point 9. 11. There is an emergency mute button... do with that what you will. 12. The laptop also comes with an anti-pop-singer button... I have yet to find a use for this button. 12. (a) My girlfriend says that this button is actually for turning off the microphone. Alright that's all for now. Will post a 1 year update. See ya then.

For $200 this is an amazing workhorse. The laptop is built like a tank, the keyboard is the most comfortable I have ever used on a laptop, and it’s crazy powerful for something 6 years old. I installed Ubuntu on it and I am running my development environment on it (Node.js, Springboot, Docker, MongoDB) and it runs it all without a hitch. As a renewed product it has minimal wear and looks almost brand new. The only thing I don’t like is that the screen has a couple dead pixels and is a little washed out. But that’s washed out compared to a Retina display...which isn’t a fair comparison. Also, the screen is roughly a 720p display...so it’s not fantastic in that regard...but once again...it’s $200. And it is perfect as a work computer or a daily driver laptop. Just don’t expect to game on it.

I was a little nervous buying this, pretty good reviews, but seller was Blazing Prices when I ordered. Currently has 94% positive 12 mo. rating, but only 89% 30 day rating, so it looks like customer service is going down. Well, I got the laptop, in generic box with the correct 90watt adapter, no instructions or anything else. Well packaged, laptop looks brand new, and I think never used (not even a speck of dust on the fan). I did check ALL of the hardware, webcam works, battery life 2 hours, all keys good. Only defect I found was dvd player could not read home burned dvds. Burned dvds fine, and they played on another computer, but not on this one. Commercial dvds and cds play just fine, so it has a slightly defective dvd player. I didn't send it back because who uses dvds anymore anyway, and I didn't want to chance getting one with more significant problems. I wonder if some of these "refurbished" units are factory seconds? Keyboard is very good, better than most other laptop keyboards, though not as good as the older ThinkPads (I have an even older X100e ThinkPad with a better keyboard). As others have said, very good hardware and specs for the $205 shipped that I paid. Fast booting, fast working... great machine. Windows 10 installed wo problems and activated with the number on the label on the bottom of the computer. You do have to scratch off the silver stuff covering the first 4 numbers. Anyway, I'm very happy.

First, these look to be high quality refurbs and they are. But, a couple issues. One: all the people on here complaining about poor battery life - its not the battery, its the power supply. Seller ships with 65W power supply. Lenovo requires 90W. Contact Seller and request correct 90W power supply, or buy one on Amazon for like $15. Two: I ordered T430, and seller shipped T430s. There are differences between the models - not necessarily good or bad differences, just differences. I contacted seller to request correct power supply; havent received after nearly a week. Had to purchase them separately. Seller said they would ship them and an RMA for the 65w power supplies (havent received either). I order these for price-sensitive customers. They are otherwise, exactly as descrived and function very well. The Lenovo Thinkpads are work horses in business., New, they can easily be $1200-1800 - and in previous lives, I have purchased them at those prices direct from Lenovo and was happy with them. For the price here, these are an excellent value, even if I have to purchase the correct power supply as I did in this case. **Update 2/24/18 - Seller shipped correct 90W Lenovo power supplies. No RMA for the 65W, but they made the deal mostly right. The differences between the T430 and T430S arent significant enough for me to return the laptops, though for some, may be a deal breaker. Check before you play with it. **Update 5/24/19 - ordered additional - the T430 they sent me today did not include a TPM chip on the BIOS. It is 4 yrs old (which is fine), but it didnt have a TPM chip. If you are intending to encrypt this - make sure you are getting one with a TPM chip. I just wasted 4 hours imaging one.
