LENOVO ThinkPad T480s Laptop, 14 IPS FHD (1920x1080) Matte Display, Intel Core i7-8650U 4.20 GHz, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Fingerprint Reader, Supported Windows 10 Pro, Black Color, Renewed

I purchased this laptop to use as a Linux machine and it has been amazing. 10/10 ThinkPads are the best machines for professionals and tinkerers (no surprise here).

When it arrived, I thought by the paperwork provided and reviews that the laptop would be in great condition working. I wasn’t using it so much in the first month or so after receiving it, but once I wanted to start using it for work and school, I noticed the battery would not stay charged for longer than 5–10 minutes unless constantly plugged into the charger. Some applications were also lagging when I tried operating. I waited some time but then when the problem became really persistent especially since I needed to use a laptop on daily basis for my job and school, I started a request for the seller to help me with the issue. I get a response that it is over the 90 day refund/replacement time frame (it was 5 days over when I put the request in) and that basically they can’t help me. I started contacting Amazon and multiple representatives started an A-Z claim, even though it was past the 90 days, I was told that I would be helped with the issue since the seller was not responsive. After a month of calling customer service, and being told that they understand my frustration and my issue would be fixed (I would get a return/refund), I’m now being told that Amazon can’t help me either. I am still currently trying to get my issue resolved with Amazon, but I would save your time and money and not buy from this seller. Almost $400 down the drain for a laptop that doesn’t function how a refurbished laptop should (I didn’t even get to talking about the cosmetic damages sticker cover up). I would strongly recommend saving up for a brand new laptop somewhere else if you are able to, because this will cause you issues (not far) down the line.

So I have been on the hunt for a laptop that could fulfill my needs while being relatively cheap. This item really hit the mark. I am a web developer as well as a system administrator for my home servers hehe. I wanted a laptop that I could carry around the house and be able to quickly access my servers instead of having to run upstairs to my main computer each time. I knew I was going to be running arch linux on it also so I didnt need a thousand dollar laptop to achieve my goals. Once I found this and saw the specs and the price, the only question mark was the quality (it being refurbished). Wow this thing looks almost new and the screen is clean and clear. I dont normally leave reviews but I feel like I had to with this because im just so happy with this purchase. I recommend this seller and the t480s

The image compares the provided Brand X SSD (on the left) and the Western Digital on the right, The WD has significantly superior performance (and order of magnitude faster etc). Might advise doing a SSD swap in some cases.

This review is for a T480s. I bought this to mess around with some Linux distros. I installed Pop!_OS and it runs flawlessly. These are refurbished computers, but you honestly wouldn't know that when you receive it. It is literally in brand new condition. If you're thinking about grabbing one of these to play around with Linux, do it. I couldn't be happier with it.

I purchased this Lenovo Thinkpad T480 Laptop and so far I am very impressed. It is a renewed and tested item as the description states but to look at it you would never expect anything but that it’s brand new. The exterior has no scratches or signs of abuse at all. The screen is clean with no sign of neglect or abuse either. Included in the box was the charging cord and it looks new.Some of the features are: Screen 14 inches, touchscreen, great sound quality, headphone/Bluetooth compatibility, 2 USB 3.0 Ports, 1 USB 2.0 Port, works fastIt offers several security options, fingerprint reader, PIN number , allows you to choose up to 3 security questionsLaptop has Windows 10 Pro Operating System. Very easy and self explanatory when setting it up. I’m not very tech savvy so I was impressed at how easy and fast I was able to get thru the process.Considering it was a renewed item, I am super impressed and still was offered a warranty.
