Extremely helpful video. I'm glad I bought my T480s mid year. Thanks for giving others models too choose from! I definitely will share this video with everyone who needs a new laptop. Hope you keep teaching about good laptops out there!
Just go to the local used laptop market in your city they will be there, ignore cheep quality options if they offer you will be good 👍. Take this video as a reference point don’t ask for a exact model. just ask if they have any of these mentioned in the description, Visit few shops then make a educated decision after having some hands on experience with them as for online can be in olx but i don’t recommend, and no new laptop will be as good as these so new is not a option in this budget
i don't buy or use x1 carbon, I had a bad issue long time ago with my x1 carbon 3rd gen. So sensitive and fragile compared with X series (rugged and portable), I hate it but my x200s , x230, x240 thinkpad are still doing ok except for the battery. But if you want practicality I'd say pick a chromebox (mini PC with chrome OS but install it with windows 11) I bought mine on Ebay Asus chromebox 3 i7 (16gb ram and 200 something ssd) and it runs win 11 and boy it's fast. (I know the topic laptops but you might wanna consider other cheap alternatives)
Don’t matter reality is these are used laptops battery depends on battery health not original whr and if you get a new battery it depends on the quality of that battery not 5+- whr rating
@@burhansaleemi how much do you get on both generally now? 5-6 hr easily?....by the way i ordered T490 refurbish from Amazon-India, will receive on jan 8, 2025
@@archuser7607 actually they are same price on amazon while T480 was only HD....& while T490 FHD was lowest on that time....i know 72Whr is great but its already bulk at 20mm thickness & that battery will add more bulk....so i got T490, marginally smaller ,front speaker & it also use carbon fiber on top lid
Hello .How are you? I follow your UA-cam channel last 3 weeks.I saw your all content It's fantastic. I thought, how can you make an amazing content. Really appreciable. But this content should reach millions of likes and views and subscribers. But i noticed 5 things are responsible to fulfil your goal.i find out problems
This vid is not about what is the fastest laptop for 200$, its about best "Best laptops Upgradeable and repairable" at that point i still don't recommend the n100 laptop and never will, Hope you understand my point of view on the topic 👍
Both are good T480 has dual batteries and 2x ram slots where t480s is slimmer and still had a ram slot, still having over all same ports and functionality (if you can get a version of t480 or t480s with a gpu thats the best) i just bought t490 for a friend with a gpu so thats a good option too

Nice input for true value against the cost...
I mostly buy only old lenovo laptop and upgrade the ram, ssd, ...
Example: T480 run Qubes OS - maximal security - 2 ssd, 64 gb ram possible
Qubes OS wow hacker man

you should be able to get a brand new n100 laptop for the same price, trust me it's faster than this i5 8th gen laptop

How the hell did you install MacOS on the Thinkpad!? Anyways, good video!
Thanks, its called Hackintosh but its not recommended
@@burhansaleemi Oh! I see it now. Thanks! 👍🏾
Anyways T480s or T480 ?
Both are good T480 has dual batteries and 2x ram slots where t480s is slimmer and still had a ram slot, still having over all same ports and functionality (if you can get a version of t480 or t480s with a gpu thats the best) i just bought t490 for a friend with a gpu so thats a good option too
