Good for the price!
By Alan on June 3, 2015
Size: 8GBColor: Black Verified Purchase
Pros:
* Shipped quickly
* Robust case/build
* Really good keyboard
* Good memory and processor
* Cheap, only like $150 more than my Chromebook
* Lenovo charger included
* Very clean, smells new

Cons:
* Battery came with 50% health, only getting 1.5-2 hrs from a full charge
* CD Drive latch is sensitive and opens easily when carrying it around
* Little on the heavy side
* Very slightly loose screen hinge
* Very slightly loose battery
* Very minor cosmetic blemishes in a few spots
* Came with Windows 7

Overall, it's a great machine that's been refurbished nicely for the cost.
Would be 5 stars if it came with a healthier battery.

By Nikhil Nicholas on May 23, 2015
Size: 8GBColor: Black
You cannot go wrong with a Thinkpad.
Had to return my corporate one and missed the speed as well as versatility of the T420. Got a refurbished one and changed to SSD and increased the RAM to 12GB. Thing flies! No regrets and this is a real keeper. I like the fact that I can change parts as and when. Truly modular.

Great laptop, great condition
By Jeffrey Chen on June 11, 2015
Size: 8GBColor: Black Verified Purchase
Great laptop, great condition. Came as advertised, and shipping was fast. Popped in my SSD running Linux Mint 16, everything works out of the box.

Edit: Switched to Debian 8.1 and swapped out the optical drive for a second SSD running Windows 7, both work perfectly with no problems. Although if you want a dual hard drive set up you'll need to buy a separate HDD/SSD caddy.

A machine for people who a disgusted by thin laptops
By Zac Ernst on October 1, 2015
Size: 8GBColor: Black Verified Purchase
I wanted a laptop that would make a satisfying "thud" when I'd put it on the table at my local coffee shop -- a "thud" that would say to the college students near me, "Hey kid! Get your effete little MacBook with your pointless cat videos and pictures of your food away from me!". I also wanted a laptop with a REAL KEYBOARD. Not some ineffectual little chicklet keyboard, but a real one whose keys make a satisfying "bang" when you're using vim. And don't even talk to me about back-lit keyboards! If you can shine a light through your keyboard, then that just means that your keyboard is a piece of junk.

This laptop delivers. Sure, it's very slightly slower than the most modern i5 processors, but the performance penalty is minimal. And for $320, it's a steal. Unlike MacBooks (which I despise), it's trivial to upgrade the hard drive (or replace the optical drive with a hard drive), and it's also trivial to upgrade the memory. Despite the fact that this laptop is rated to only 8 gigs of memory, it looks like it can easily be upgraded to 16 for about a hundred bucks.

My machine came on-time and in excellent condition. It's got a few tiny scratches, but the keyboard, screen, trackpad, and everything else are perfect. The battery does not perform like a brand-new battery, but that's not a surprise. It actually works quite a bit better than I had expected. I'll eventually upgrade the battery, but I'm in no rush.

The only drawback to owning a refurbished laptop is the knowledge that the machine used to run Windows. I took a vow in 1995 that I would never use Windows again, and I'd insist on installing Linux on any machine I owned.Read more ›

Very satisfied
By KingJM on September 1, 2015
Size: 8GBColor: Black Verified Purchase
I needed to upgrade to a newer laptop; my old Toshiba was getting slow as hell and unreliable. I looked around on Amazon for new laptops but many were either too weak or too expensive for what I was looking for. My friend recommended that I try a refurbished laptop from Lenovo and specifically this "T420" that he said many people were praising. I was hesitant since it was a refurbished but I looked into it anyways.

I noticed based on the specs that if it came to me in good condition that I would have a solid computer. The only thing that I wanted to change and did indeed change was swapping the hard drive that it came with for a Crucial 250GB SSD that I got on here for ~$100.

I ordered it even though I noticed a couple of recent reviews were having problems, either with fans or touchpad malfunctions etc.; there were many more pleased customers than unhappy ones. Still, I was nervous that I might have gotten a faulty computer that I might be needing to send back.

Once I got it, I swapped the hard drive with my new SSD, loaded Windows 10, and set up dual-boot with Ubuntu. This thing is great. Much faster than my old laptop. The keyboard is funky and a little different than I'm used to, but once you get used to it, you'll like it's layout. I guess I was lucky as some people reported having worn out keys or dysfunctional ones but my keyboard feels new. There are almost no aesthetic blemishes barring one piece that was chipped off the very front. It's hardly noticeable and not a big deal at all. This thing runs quiet and doesn't get hot.

For this price, I don't think you can get a better laptop. Just do what I did and swap the hard drive with an SSD and you'll have a computer that boots up in less than 10 seconds easily.

Functions well, good start up speed. Would have gave it five, but the battery does not hold a charge for long. It dies after 1/2 hour. Overall, a good buy!
