My dad is a moderate laptop user, but gets easily frustrated with poor performance, sometimes he uses PCB applications for hobby projects.After his last laptop died, we evaluated new vs. used laptops and we found a nicely taken care of T440 with a 3rd gen i5. I've had some additional RAM laying around and a new SSD (totaling 8/128) and the thing flies, he is very satisfied. For the money I don't thing we could have bought a machine with comparable performance from the store. Even the battery holds about an 60-90 minutes which is ok for him. He needs it portable, but not autonomous.
- salex89 8y ago4th gen i5
- floatboth 8y ago> 60-90 minutes That's really, really low for a *40. Unless you mean like 90 minutes of full CPU usage.
- keithpeter 8y agoGetting around 7h to 8h off my X220 with a 'no-name' battery (the larger kind that sticks out at the back). Fine for the last couple of years.
- salex89 8y agoQuite true, but considering the age (I'm not sure whether the battery is original or not), it does the job. The laptop was used, it's not new.
