Used, reconditioned T530 and T410
Used, reconditioned T530 and T410
My two old laptops (7, 5 1/2 years, Acer, Asus) died within the past week and I'm currently using a probably 14 year old 12" 210 Thinkpad that I bought used on EBay 5 years ago or so, upgraded to 1.5Meg RAM, then from XP to Windows 7 and now Windows 10. I had never used it but bought a new battery for it and now found that it works fine, if a little slow when several apps are open. I'm so impressed with its sturdiness that I just bought 2 reconditioned Thinkpads on Walmart online: a T530, 64Meg Ram, 256 GB SSD, and a T410, 4Meg RAM, 500GB hard drive. The T530 was $450, and the T410 was $205. Questions: if needed, how difficult is it to replace a hard drive or SSD on these machines. The batteries are inexpensive online and I'll be using the laptops plugged in in my home office anyway. Thanks to all. I bought them at Walmart since they're easily returnible within 15 days. They'll be arriving tomorrow or Tuesday.

Re: Used, reconditioned T530 and T410
Replacing the drives is dead easy on both machines, just make sure you follow the steps from the corresponding hardware maintenance manuals (HMM):
T530
T410
T530
T410
That's must be a typo, T530 normally supports 16GB RAM AFAIK, there are few models with quad core CPU's that have 4 RAM banks, meaning it can take max 32GBbook193 wrote:T530, 64Meg Ram, 256 GB SSD
