IBM Thinkpad T23 reconditioned laptop £289 with case

BigAde

Apologies if this is already posted elsewhere, did a quick search, but couldn't see it anywhere...

A really nice solid, well-built and dependable laptop if not the latest spec. Had mine the last 2 years and it's been great.... mods please feel free to move wherever appropriate.

Not all that good for the money really.... new dell laptop twice as good can be had for only 50quid more.

Wouldn't say twice as good, would go for the Dell myself.... but if you're really strapped for cash this is a decent enough built-to-last-style laptop.

i agree, better off with the new dell really, for only alittle more

I would.... 1.5ghz, 40gig HD, larger screen, wireless card.... and a new product warranty (fair enuff only 3mths fully paid up) as well as a garunteed battery - not 7 days battery like this says. But for its plusses this one does sound lighter

I think second hand laptops are overall a bit riskier too. It depends if your worried about the battery I spose. If the battery is garunteed good then fair enough

I'd go for the T23 every time. For most applications it will be just as good as the Dell (you don't need power internet surfing and word processing) and it will still be going strong long after the Dell has broken down.
Parts are cheap and widely available should you need to get a new battery.
