### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Biggest Bang for the Bucks affordablequalitytech
*by C***X on February 9, 2017*

Year to year improvement in PC performance have "slowed down to crawl" Some say it is because Intel has a big lead on AMD and ARM performance. (In other words, Intel probably figures performance is good enough.). Others think we are hitting the limits of the chip. While others think Intel has moved development resources to their more profitable server business. Regardless a top end 4-5 year old professional system like the T430 can out perform similar priced new low end systems by a mile. True, new low end Systems have more energy efficent chips for longer battery life and weigh less and run cooler.. But if want a faster computer. And a quality built system that will stand the test of time the T430 is the bargin buy.Since you are buying used, it is very important that you careful select a seller with a high rating who will ship a quality product and be there if you need them. . So read the reviews for each seller carefully.This is my 6 used system purchase. The best seller I have found is affordablequalitytech. Who also happen to be the low price leader. I am not sure how they do. Providing me with over spec product (more than in the Amazon liste and provided by other sellers), in great condition. Delivered super fast and packaged extremely well to prevent any damage in shipment. Highly recommend affordablequalitytech.Who deserves their 100% rating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid laptop, with some strange quirks
*by B***L on January 17, 2014*

I bought this laptop because my old ASUS, god bless it, was getting slow and heavy, and as a student I needed something relatively light that I could do a lot of typing on (so, not a tablet). The Thinkpads are pretty legendary with hardware nerds, and for good reason - they're ugly but very rugged, and the keyboard design is incredible. This model and the T440 might be the last of their kind, which is a shame. I've had this for about a week and a half and so far, it's a solid machine. However, I encountered an issue with the WLAN card - it read as connected to the internet with a strong signal but nothing loaded in any browser I opened. Kind of a kiss of death for student usage.After thumping my head against the wall for awhile I figured it out - if you're having this problem, it's probably the power settings. You have to go into the device manager and the properties of the card (an Intel Centrino N 2200, in this case) and uncheck the box that allows the computer to shut the device down to conserve power (switching around the channel settings may also help). That fixed the issue for me. It's also helpful to remove all the bloatware, especially Lenovo's upgrade utility - the native Windows updater should be doing that stuff for you.It's a fast machine, and pretty powerful - I remember hating Intel integrated graphic chipsets as a kid because they were very poor performers, but the 4000 edition they use now is fairly high-end - you can play Skyrim at low settings with no issues, and probably make it a little prettier and still maintain your framerate (especially with a RAM upgrade). So it's a very versatile machine, and aside from that momentary panic from WLAN confusion, I'm happy with it so far.

### ⭐⭐ Worse than a Black Friday Special
*by V***A on January 25, 2014*

Let's face it: PCs tend to run cheap. And that's fine. I've been living off of $500-below laptops ever since I had my first one in college, and while they've had their issues, the issues were minor and hardly enough to push me into getting a more expensive PC or switching over to a Mac.I had been using an HP, which ran smoothly but was having some battery trouble, and instead of replacing the battery like I should have I decided to reward myself instead with a $700 Lenovo T430. It's a well-respected make, and the T-series are known for being reliable and "great business laptops," etc.What a mistake. As soon as it came out of the box, the T430 was already slower than my two-year old HP that I bought at a Black Friday special (to give you an idea of how cheap it is). I use my computer as much as the next millennial, and usually I like to just close the lid and let it sleep instead of shutting the computer down altogether. Well, it takes two full minutes after I reopen the lid to get it back to form, especially w.r.t. Google Chrome, which lags horribly. I have to sit though an excruciating series of "Chrome is Not Responding" messages until I can get back to writing that email I was working on, or whatever.I feel stupid for having bought this now. 4 GB RAM are just not enough, and now I'll have to add RAM and probably also replace the hard drive with an SSD. I read online that the computer gets a lot faster once you do that, but the whole point is that you shouldn't HAVE to do that, after you've paid $750ish for a supposedly good/fast/reliable computer.There are other problems. For instance, the two-finger scrolling feature sometimes decides not to work. Just like that. Thirty seconds later, it works fine again. It's maddening. All I ask for is a fully functional touchpad and a Google Chrome that doesn't bonk, plus like a Word Processor. My needs are simple. This is why I use a PC. And it's why sh**ty Black Friday-deal laptops have worked fine. Apparently the $300 extra you pay for the Lenovo can't even buy you that.
