Went for this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295508085529
1yr guarantee on components and £150 - cosmetically probably a bit ropier than the one you posted, hopefully I haven't missed any small but important differences!

Main difference is the lower screen resolution, 1366 X 768 rather than 1920 X 1080.
Should still be fine and obviously won't matter if used with an external screen

Yeah you have to look out for the ones with low res screens - although you can often replace them with much better screens fairly cheaply, as I have done with an X240 and then X260.

Those x280s claim to be designed to some mil spec durability requirements (although not clear what they actually are). Mine has coped well with being manhandled by a 2 year old.
