Lenovo IBM Thinkpad T420s - Brand new

For £600?

Is it a good price for it? Not really, but it is what it's worth:

Notice they're selling it for significantly less here, but if you look at that small number above that says "was: $969.99", that's around what the price you listed in pounds translates to dollars.



I just recently bought a laptop for 100$ less than that same price and it was much better:

If that's it then yeah you're getting a good price. Newegg usually has good prices, so if you can find better then that's decent.

how much would that be for second hand?

Sorry bro I wouldn't know about second hand, I'm new to the whole laptop scene myself. Typically though I'd avoid a second hand laptop just because they're prone to having problems brand new. But Lenovo is a good brand, one of the better kinds out there.

you might want to consider ssd hd for what u do;

for 8gb and an i5 processor thats a sick price bro. 320 HDD is also great but from previous posts i know that u use external/portable HDD as well so its not a prob

SSD hd are really expensive though aren't they?
