  • I use Linux, Ubuntu specifically... but if you have a copy of Windows, then I have a spare Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th gen

    Specs:

    • Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th Gen
    • 16GB RAM
    • i7-7500 CPU

    Battery good and everything nice... no box though.

    Looks like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X1-Carbon-5th-Gen-14-7th-i7-7500U-8GB-256GB-Laptop-Warranty/184624260233?hash=item2afc76a489:g:qDEAAOSwYodgA1MS

    I've been thinking about selling it, and would for £500 on here, but the warning is that I would only leave a Linux installed and you'd have to source Windows if that is what you wanted.

    I used this as a developer laptop for a couple of years for non-work stuff, but when I changed job last year I got a new work machine as well as buying a gaming machine when lockdown began... so this laptop hasn't been used in over a year and it's only 3 years since it was purchased new. It's completely unlocked, etc as it was a personal device. Warranty has expired. Minor marks on the lid as the most use it got was as a travel laptop, so being put in a rucksack for flights and such were the heavy use it saw - better in flight entertainment than the tiny screen on the back of a chair.

    It's a good laptop, I'm just spoiled for machines.

  • That looks like a great offer but I need Windows & to buy a few other bits so I don't think the budget will go that far. Thanks for your help though!

    Might just go for one of those cheap x260 or x270's on ebay, they look identical so will have to do some more research!
