gumtree has no buyer protection

s is slim variant, 6c battery only

its gonna be plugged in 24/7

if you get a cheap dock, seems alright then

just strange that the second picture displays a different model

lurk a week and you ll surely find a good offer

i was going to get the dock with the 2 DVI and Display port ports

i dont know if there are differences, mine has 1 dvi, 1 vga, 1 display port

the one for the w500 has dual DVI and Display ports with USB 3

its more expensive and works with all of them

@JHWH pass? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3x-Thinkpad-T420s-Laptops-i5-NO-RAM-NO-HDDs-PARTS-ONLY-w8-/182712447236?hash=item2a8a82b104:g:YJMAAOSwi-9ZjULX

1 X Unit powers up has faulty optic dive

2 X UNITS DO NOT POWER UP. SHOW POWER ON LIGHT

yeah get the 2 for oh fuck broke the plastic part

or oh fuck fucked up the display

or oh fuck (insert reason for needing spare parts)

if you have a hdd and ram for it, why not

its not like you use the optical drvie

and you need a charger

well they are $60 AUD so like 45 USD

4GB is another 30$ and a charger maybe 15-20

yeah so i could do a lot more cheaper

better external display

its probably the worse resolution though

he didnt state it

1366x768 or smth

well it doesnt really matter, the thinkpad would be terminal or mayeb at best firecucks

just get orange pi for that lol

i have a few pis but nah

@JHWH is yours a t420/i/s

which one

x200

t420

no i and no s

does it really matter if its i or s

yes

i is less cpu power

s is slim and supposed to have cooling problems

it has usb 3.0 though

okat so the stock is the best

for your purposes yes
