Review: Excellent value for money - I rarely write reviews, but this one deserves it. This is a great little machine that does exactly what I need: a thin client with enough CPU and RAM to allow me to have meetings, browse documentation and use much more powerful computers remotely. I believe it would be adequate for office work and even some software development if I needed to use it for those purposes. Lenovo's decision to use soldered RAM is unfortunate, 16GB would have given this laptop a much longer lifetime. I successfully used this to drive two 24" external monitors, using the usb-c port with an usb-c to hdmi cable. That port is thunderport capable so it could also do display port output with 60hz at 4K, but that's not what I need/have at the moment. Beware though: this machine is using a special ethernet port Lenovo saw fit to use, and the adapter sold by Lenovo is so large it block the usb-c port, so you can't have ethernet port and two external monitors in use at the same time if you use that port (I do). I bought a usb to ethernet adapter for the other regular usb 3 port and it worked just fine. The machine arrived in great condition, so thanks to the seller. For £230 or so, this is great value for money. I installed win 10 even though it arrived with a clean (no bloatware) windows 11 install. I must say that getting windows 10 on this machine took some effort even though drivers are available from Lenovo. I think it would have been easier if I installed the desktop app Lenovo provides for driver installation/management, so you may want to try that first. Finally, 12" IPS panel with 1920*1080 looks really, really nice. Almost like looking at a tablet, so I'm happy I did not go with a laptop with smaller resolution. Lenovo has its own weird habits, such as being unable to disable fast charging of the battery, or not being able to stop the laptop from automatically starting if someone lifts the lid after hibernation (does not happen if you shut down), but I can live with these. Overall, excellent value for money.
Review: Shockingly good bargain! - I spent a few hours going over all the functionality/features and everything included works perfectly as you would expect. The laptop appears to be in almost pristine condition (just a few *very minor* blemishes around the edges of the case consistent with age/light use). This is due to the fact that the refurbishment process involves putting what seems to be a high quality skin over the back, the palm rest and the trackpad. Looks very professional and makes the laptop look almost-new. I removed as I didn't like the feel of the trackpad - but your mileage may vary, removal uncovered a few more scuffs and marks on the case, but nothing of concern considering it's a 6+ year old laptop. I can't comment on the Windows installation as I immediately installed Ubuntu, but didn't spot anything unexpected or nefarious. After settling down with updates etc... the battery life seems to be around 2-3 hours of typical use and Ubuntu really flies, with no compatibility or stability issues encountered whatsoever, the backlit keyboard also works perfectly. Wholeheartedly recommend, for less than £200 it's an absolute steal. Primarily bought for Amateur Radio usage, but may pick another up as a spare just to use around the house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What ports does it have - does it have hdmi and usb-c? also is it an ips or tn display? how long does the battery last?**
A: Definitely got
Hdmi
USB c
IPS screen I believe

Battery seems to last a few hours - my partner uses it, so I can't say specifically

**Q: Does this have an SD card reader and a hdmi port?**
A: The X280 does have an HDMI port and a Smart Card reader.

**Q: Does it have hdmi connectivity?**
A: Mine has 1 HDMI and 2 usb 2.0 ports, no fingerprint or touchscreen and poor baterie life. I ordered in the past two times. First time came in mint condition, second time a poor 720 not even IPS and they changed it, now third time they not changing it, I had just the promise a month ago and forgetting. These time is IPS, not touch, no fingerprint, not usb3.0, poor baterie and officially better 8350u processor. My HP pavillion i3 with windows 8.1 is still faster than these one.

**Q: Screen and Stylus- can you please confirm that the screen is touch screen and the laptop comes with a stylus pen?**
A: I got no pen but it’s is touch screen

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfect secondary device
*by S***E on 5 September 2023*

The reason I am removing a star is because it came pre-installed with Google Chrome. I don't like having spyware preinstalled on my computers. But it *didn't* come installed with the Lenovo drivers for adjusting the brightness etc, which should absolutely be on there. You can solve this by searching "lenovo x280 drivers". Apart from that, 5/5. Onto the real review... I really don't know why anyone would even consider any other laptop at this price point unless they needed more RAM. Unfortunately it is impossible to upgrade it to 16GB due to it being soldered, but apart from that this is a fantastic laptop that's perfect for what I need it for - Microsoft Word, classic 1993 Doom and remote access mainly. I always go for and recommend refurbished ThinkPads and, in terms of condition, this one could've been described as new without the box. The keyboard, and per usual with this brand, is fantastic. The thermals can be a bit fussy - when I was debloating W11 and installing several programs at once it got uncomfortably hot on my lap, but that is to be expected in this form factor. I simply started using it on a simple slab of varnished wood. It would have been nice to have a cheaper option that comes without a Windows license, especially if you happen to have one already or would prefer to use an alternative OS, but eh, for £200 you DEFINITELY can do A LOT worse. In a way it reminds me of the old netbooks that were fashionable about 10-15 years ago now, except it's got enough horsepower and a good enough keyboard to be useful!
