[Sold on eBay] - T450s, i5, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD, original box, etc.

Edit: Sold on eBay.

Too many ThinkPads, chapter 77:

My son has replaced his ThinkPad T450s and asked me to sell his old machine. It's in excellent shape (see linked photos), complete with original box and packing material. Model number 20BXCTO1WW, serial number PC0A3KAS for anyone who wants to check out the configuration through Lenovo's parts lookup page. Brief details:

i5-5300 CPU (no separate GPU, as far as I can see)
1920x1080 IPS screen (not touchscreen)
12GB RAM
512GB SSD
3-cell removable battery charges to 100% (full capacity 20.08 Wh)
3-cell internal battery charges to 100% (full capacity 18.92 Wh)
Intel 7265 Wireless
Fingerprint reader
Backlit keyboard
Camera
Upgradeable to Mobile Broadband WWAN
Original power supply

I've wiped the SSD and reinstalled Windows 10 64-bit (fully activated), and updated it to version 1803. (Windows Update does not yet offer to install 1809 on this machine.) All Lenovo System Updates and Windows updates are installed. The machine boots to a no-password admin account, which of course you can remove after installing your own account, if you prefer.

BIOS has been restored to default settings; CompuTrace disabled (you can disable it permanently): all passwords and fingerprint data have been cleared.

The trackpad has the usual shininess from normal use; the keyboard and screen are perfect. The lid has normal light wear with almost unnoticeable superficial scratching and uneven shininess.

Free UPS shipping in the US only.

Price: $350

Please feel free to check my feedback here. Compared to the other machines I've sold on the forum, this is as good or better shape than the rest.

EDIT: The reason this machine is in such good shape is that it was very lightly used. My son used it to only take notes in business trips, perhaps ten times a year at most. The rest of the time, it sat on a shelf.

Hi Edward,

Apologies for my ignorance, I was unable to find these answers via the Lenovo model lookup:
-- Does this machine have a discrete GPU?
-- Does it come with the touchscreen option?
-- Does it have a backlit keyboard?

I'd love to see some pictures. And if you had a lead on a compatible docking station, that would be great too -- thought I'd mention that, just in case.

Thanks!

Good questions! I've updated my initial post to give the answers: yes, backlit keyboard; no GPU that I can see; non-touch screen.

I'll post photos this weekend - when I can get them in daylight.

Docks seem easy to find on eBay; the relevant part numbers seem to be: 40A10090US and 40A20170US. There are also more basic docks, but these two seem to be the best.

Thanks for asking for the clarifications!

Thanks for the extra info! I'm definitely tempted... best of luck with the sale!

I've now edited the first post with some additional details and a link to photos: https://imgur.com/a/lwK3V0P?

Also specified UPS (not USPS) shipping (easier to do when using the original box).

Price dropped...

If anyone's interested in buying this for $350, it's yours. I've listed it for $375 on eBay, but I'd rather sell it through the forum.
