A strong contender in the mid-budget professional models; it’s an outdated model, but it’s chipset, memory, SSD drive and screen res all hit the marks for a professional workstation. You’re not going to edit 4K video on this laptop, nor will you play Steam with 100fps, but neither will you find yourself lacking in heavy administrative, media coordinating or home/office tasks. This machine will take everything an ordinary, every day citizen needs to accomplish on a laptop, and ask for more. For its feature set, specs, and reliability, the price can’t be beat.

I'm a big fan of Thinkpads having used them since the late '90's. This is the 5th Thinkpad I've had and the second X1, my first being the 2nd generation. This computer has all the benefits you should expect from a thinkpad - especially the keyboard. To me the red pointer and blue scrolling button coupled with the keyboard mechanism is the best reason to own a Thinkpad. I never have to move my hands from the keyboard and avoids the need for an external mouse. The build quality is sturdy. Adorrma price for re-furbished machine was very reasonable with delivery and packaging 1st class.

Great deal at the time, now these are everywhere for the same money. I love this laptop though. Fast, light, and long battery life.
