Cheap used business laptops?
Cheap used business laptops?
What ThinkPad/Latitude models are cheap and usable right now? I'm just looking for something to browse the web, but not something so low-spec that it couldn't handle heavier desktop environments.

I just picked up a used Thinkpad t480 with 8th gen i5 / 16gb ram / ssd for about $120 on ebay. I believe 8th gen the first i5 quad core for laptops. And T480 is the last Thinkpad with removable battery and two dimm slots. Kindof the sweet spot between the old upgradability and modernish hardware imo
Aren't ThinkPads dual channel ram anymore?
They are dual channel. On the newer ThinkPads, one or both channels of ram are soldered to the motherboard so you can't upgrade them.
$120? Dang, can confirm those are very usable, got mine when it was new. L480 is good too, lighter but no external battery.
Same here .... also had the removable cd drive that you can swap for a CD drive HDD adapter slot (which I did and added a traditional 2GB HDD) to go along with my 250GB SSD
