>not an old thinkpad

Notice in the pic how far the screen is tilted back, thats as far as it goes. Its a real pain to use on your lap or on the table unless youre 4 feet tall because the screen cant be tilted back

>GTX 1050
Too underpowered. You need a 1060 at a minimum.

go for it

I have no idea what you are thinking to even consider that.

what the fuck is this boomer shit?

yeah that sounds alright, especially if its a good price

>GTX 1060
Too underpowered. You need a 1070 at a minimum.

>GTX 1070
Too underpowered. You need a 1070 Ti at a minimum.

Solid entry level machine, the ideapad series has had its shit well together for the last few years.

If you're really on a budget, buy a refurbished thinkpad

What do you think about the touch pads without buttons? Kind of doubt the accuracy of it.

The shitty display and battery on pre-2015 lenovos makes them kinda useless if you ever plan on leaving your house with it.

>9600GT
Too overpowered. You don't need anything more than a 8600GT

I'm pretty okay with the display but as far as the battery is concerned you can just buy a new one. Still cheaper than a new machine

I have the IdeaPad 330. aside from the bad screen and tinny speakers it's a pretty OK machine. Oh also you can't get the precision TouchPad drivers

Also also open the bottom and redo the thermal paste. Mine had a big glob of it and it spilled over. Also I guess they have throttling issues

Second hand hardware might have some value to collectionners and the like but if you actually plan to use it daily it always will be a waste of money compared to modern laptops.

I'm amazed on how decent the V330 is.

I'm using a refurbished laptop daily. Mostly light browsing, programming, etc.

Have you guys looked at the Omen or ZBook, what do you think about them?

Sure if you don't care about neither money nor quality it's alright.

Lenovo laptops are trash, buy an Asus :)

I have an ideapad 320 and regret buying it
the keyboard is ass, the toughpad is ass2 and the HDD is slow as hell

>he doesn't buy job lots of used thinkpads
