Overall after using it for a couple of weeks - it’s what you’d expect from a second hand laptop. Battery life isn’t great (takes a while to charge - but loses power pretty quick) and the touchpad is iffy (I invested in a wireless mouse so I don’t mind) - but overall it is a good solid laptop. Not perfect but does what it needs to.

For an 8 year old laptop it’s in good condition. There are a few issues though: The primary battery on this device has been removed. The right click button above the track pad doesn’t spring back up after pressing. Why two stars? Looses one for the button and one for battery. Am I keeping it? Yes. Neither of the issues get in the way of my use case but wondering how it got through any QC process.

I ordered a Lenovo T480, but ended up receiving a T480s instead. At first I was a bit unsure, but it actually turned out to be a nice upgrade, so I’m pretty happy overall. The laptop arrived in really good condition and works perfectly with no issues so far. The T480s is lighter and feels a bit more premium than what I originally ordered, so in the end I feel like I came out better off. Customer service was solid too. There was a mix-up initially, but it was handled and sorted without too much hassle, which I appreciate. All in all, even though it wasn’t exactly what I ordered, I’m pleased with the outcome and happy with the machine.

I have been using my new laptop for the past 20 days, and so far I've had a great experience with it. The laptop came in perfect condition and all parts work as expected. Additionally I was very surprised by the battery life, which lasts for hours even when I'm programming.
