Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed a cheap but sturdy laptop at home for some freelance work. My office laptop is lenovo and I like the stability of lenovo thinkpads. My target was to get a thinkpad without paying the premium price. Hence I got the refurbished older version. Goods: 1. Came very clean. Not even a single fingerprint anywhere. 2. Good package 3. Runs pretty smooth for Microsoft office applications and regular browsing with Edge, Safari and Chrome. Not so great: 1. Heavy compared to later version nowadays. 2. Response becomes slower with video editing operation. 3. Battery backup is 1.5 hrs maximum.

I would have given this computer 4.5-5 stars if the manual had been included as the specifications said it would be. Since my first IBM Thinkpad, I have always had 15" laptops. I wasn't sure whether I would be happy with a 14" screen, but it is fine. This laptop is faster than the T510 that I have been using, and since I found info about making my older programs work properly, I am really happy with everything about it! Great little refurbished laptop for a reasonable price. Thank you, Best Buy! (I still would appreciate it if you sent me a manual for it so that I don't have to try to download and print it...)

A nice professional laptop with optimal configuration. Value for Money!

Great value and specs. It comes with a backlit keyboard, camera and an i5 processor. Despite upgrading the ram to 16gb and swapping the HDD for an SSD, I still received a whole more value for what it cost (thank you, Best Buy)... the T series are built tough and I hope this lasts. It looked very new out of the box too.

I bought my Thinkpad refurbished, and it's in excellent condition. My husband borrowed it today and said it downloads a LOT faster than his old laptop. My only complaint is that it doesn't have as much memory as my old computer.

The wrong charge cord was shipped with the refurbished laptop, the Windows 10 that was supplied with the machine will not stay registered, and must be registered each time the machine is turned on. I'm sure once the issues are ironed out, the laptop will function. But beware buying a refurbished machine - you'll spend more once you get it to iron out the mistakes.

My son's company surplussed their Lenovo ThinkPad T410s years ago, and I got one that I was very pleased with. It was on its last legs after years of use, so I just bought a refurbished T430. It's a bit lighter and runs a bit cooler than my old laptop. I would have given it a "5" rating, except that the battery doesn't seem to hold a charge for more than a couple of hours. I am going to call BB about that. Otherwise, a clean, new looking laptop that serves me well.

Plenty of memory and pretty fast. Does all the things you expect a laptop to do with little effort on the user. Certainly as good as much pricier laptops. Maybe not good enough for heavy gamers but otherwise works just fine.

Had a need for a laptop to use in a new venture. Did not want to invest in one of full price. Researched refurbished products and found the Lenovo Thinkpad. The first one I received had to be returned. This second one is fantastic!!.

Bought this as a gift. Person was very happy. I did some research and asked the guy's in the IT depth at work what they thought and the said that it is a good computer.

Although I was a little conscious of the fact that I bought a refurbished laptop, it has been a smooth performance and reliable operation by this laptop. I am overall very pleased, totally worth the price.

I needed a used laptop to put a new OS on it for the type of work I'm doing. This was a perfect alternative rather than using a new one. Being a refurbished device it had minor scratches but everything works as it should.

This is the best laptop I’ve ever owned, and the least amount of money I’ve spent on a laptop. Came like brand new, super easy to set up, runs fast, I’m thrilled with this purchase.

I also have the same lenovo but without the DVD function. I am going to use it to zip my music CD's and photo DVD's to this laptop and get rid of the PC as it takes up too much room. But most laptops don't come with the ability to load CD's or DVD's. This fits the bill, however it is thicker and weighs more.

I've bought brand new top of the line computers that don't really function better but cost five times more- two years in one of them just died- warranty over- I was out $2,000 . This Think Pad works like a dream and was very easy on the wallet. Plus these are very tough. I dropped one on its end from five feet (in a soft case)- no harm. I highly recommend.

Might be refurbished but for the price it works just as new. For the average user this has plenty of necessary tools and power to do everything.

Cheap refurbished laptop that has lots of features. Wotks for what I need it for :)

Great laptop. Good performance. The only downside is it is a bit heavier than I would like.

I've never purchased a refurbished item before, but this laptop exceeded my expectations.

This one I had to return for specs reasons. Sure it was fine.
