T420 just came in.

#1 Post by thinkpadgeek91 » Wed Jan 13, 2016 5:50 pm

My T420 just arrived! A refurbished machine but in better condition that I was expecting. Also has the high res 1600x900 screen! I didn't know it was coming with it. Very very faint keyboard and trackpad shine and just one small scratch on the lid. So excited! Can't wait to put all my files on it and make it my daily driver. So happy to have a true Thinkpad again. Especially with an i7!

Your T410 was my first Thinkpad and that machine served me through getting my IT degree in school. It was such a great machine I went with the T420 instead of a T430. love this keyboard better than the new style. This guy does getting a little warm though.

I can't get into my imageshack or photobucket accounts for some reason. I will post pics when I get time to fix those accounts.

Now that is one nice looking Thinkpad.

Based upon your wallpaper, it looks like you're ready to compute where no PC has gone before.


Ba da bum.

Thank you, thank you.

I'm here all week, try the veal. :mrgreen:

Nice find! Always cool to see a ThinkPad with classic keyboard and no touchpad/key shine.

Sorry Mods, I thought this was in the picture forum. I would not mind it if it is moved there.

Thanks everyone I'm very happy with it so far.

Current Thinkpads: W530 (functional classic keyboard mod), X301, T61, T60, T43, T23, 600X, 770
Other: mk5 Toughbook cf-19, mk1 Toughbook cf-53
