I went ahead and purchased a
refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad from eBay courtesy of 3000rpm computers.
I have to say I’m very impressed with
it, the laptop itself is a nice size and weight, the keyboard feels
nice, not to mechanical or unresponsive to touch its just right and
the performance is awesome. Boots from its 120gb SSD in about 10secs.
Applications load instantly, no waiting for your web browser.
Very impressed, as with refurbished
laptops it only has a 30mins guarantee on battery life and its like
it know it, as it won't last any more than 30mins!
But I used it plugged in most of the
time anyway plus I may look into getting a new battery for in the
future.
I've not got round to putting Ubuntu on
it yet, not sure if I will but we'll see.
I have however been playing StarCraft 2
on it quite a lot and it works flawlessly.
All in all a good purchase.
Another good purchase was a mouse i purchased from eBay.
For £1.98 bargin and great bit of kit.
Hooray for another satisfied purchase! I can only imagine how hard it was to look for a laptop online. Good thing you were able to find the appropriate gadget that suits your needs. Anyway, I’m looking forward to hear more of your accomplishments with your new laptop. Take care, Jono!
