Interesting you had such a bad experience with your T430. Mine served me faithfully for almost 8 years without a single issue. Even took quite a few hits that would have destroyed most other laptops. Upgraded to a t490 and also have had 0 issues with that, though it does seem to be a bit more fragile
- brewdad 6y agoI picked up a T430 from eBay for less than $300 about 4-5 years ago. It worked great for me for a couple of years until it developed a weird issue that would freeze randomly under Windows. I never had the issue when using Linux. Since I needed Windows for a few applications, I handed it down to my son. He's been running Arch on it without issue to this day.
- waiseristy 6y agoI had that same issue, caused by a bad 3rd party HDD tray, though it froze on both OS's if I remember correctly. You should buy your son a cheap ebay 3630qm to install. Fun little project which really soups up the performance
