'New' W530 on the way
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2018 7:47 pm
Well, refurb anyway.
I've been needing to upgrade my W500 so I've been looking at W530's because they're the last model to incorporate an express card slot (needed for a better sound card) and retained the classic UltraBay design. I just won an BIN offer on eBay ($450) for a really clean W530 with a I7-3940XM processor, FHD display (1920x1080), Nvidia K2000, 256Gb SSD, 16 Gb ram (not sure if 2 or 4 slot)
While I researched which of the W series Thinkpad I wanted the one resource I failed to peruse is the Thinkpad forum (slaps forehead). However, from what I'm now reading I don't think I'll be disappointed. Merry Christmas to me!
