I’m looking to replace my tower PC with a mobile option (only strictly for work, no gaming or video editing).

And I’ve found an online shop that sells ThinkPads: they are selling this FHD (no HDR) i7-8650U, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage used laptop (X1 Gen 6) for 400 usd and I’m wondering if you guys would recommend it.

They offer a 3-month warranty.

They also have a 310usd i5-8350U, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage option, in case this sounds like a better deal (also used and no HDR); and a 345usd i5-8350U, 16GB RAM, 512GB one.

I’ve looked far and wide and it seems like all shops here sell these at the same price.

This is all in Vietnam and here I cannot use Amazon/eBay etc.

      Install the Lenovo testing software, it should have a battery test.

      Also the commercial vantage software to keep it updated and access some settings.

      Plug the charger in to each port and confirm it charges.

        I can only ask the shop to show me the results as it’s an online-only store.
