Bro, I’m planning to get a thinkpad X60, a very old model, refurbished. Only using it for paperwork (,excel,ppt,), some light surfing and YouTube. No gaming. Do u all think it’s worth it? It cost around 250.

QUOTE(prasys @ Apr 22 2019, 05:59 PM) X60 is very very old , not recommended to get it and it's overpriced for RM 250 They are selling x220 about 500-600. I just wanna play around with old Thinkpads, more like a collection haha. I guess it can perform normal tasks such as surfing , and some Ms office word , excel and pptGet X220  |

I think the seller changed it to new HDD, not SSD, and pump up the RAM to max 3GB.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksc2LSyO8vs From the review , it looks like the A485 can run some games , has the rugged look. It depends what you are looking for in an laptop Yes it can run games far better vs Intel HD |

QUOTE(prasys @ Apr 23 2019, 04:28 PM) HDD ? Useless , SSD is good I bought x60 but they gave me x61 lol. 3gb ram with 120gb HDD. Quite responsive for a 12 year old laptop! I cant expect more for this kinda price.3GB , opt for 4 - maybe get Linux Windows might be too slow , Linux should able to handle it Its running on win7, you will be surprised how responsive it is. I think its a brand new HDD. This post has been edited by anakMY: Apr 23 2019, 08:02 PM |

QUOTE(prasys @ Apr 24 2019, 10:29 PM) Yours is older generation. It should have been ugpraded how come? I thought nowadays laptops are ready to use OOB... seems like they are not that good they used to be.Newer ones like the people who purchased here had issues with fan and few other things. Like mine - couldn't even plug in external monitor , till I upgraded BIOS + installed new driver. You would expect it to work OOB but no.... |
