Thinkpad T430

+

27-08-2023

+

+ Since april 2021 I've been using a Thinkpad X220. I upgraded it with 16Gb ram and a 240Gb SSD hard drive. Really happy with it, solid well built no-nonsense laptop. +

+ But I have a growing problem, the 12" 1366 x 768 is a bit small for developing web sites, and my eyes aren't what they used to be. +

+ So I've bought another old Thinkpad, this time a T430. It has a 14" 1600 x 900 screen. +

+ Upgrades: 16Gb ram, a 128Gb msata hard disk, a 480Gb SSD hard disk, and AC-7260HMW wifi card. +

+ I'll upgrade the Bios with 1vyrain to unlock the limits of Ivybridge laptops and install the AC-7260. +

+ It's also possible to upgrade the screen and processor. +

+ People tend to fall in love with these laptops, because their build and upgradablilty have never been bettered, + and where else can you get a Thinklight? +

+ (Framework laptops look nice, but an older Thinkpad is waaaay cheaper!) +

+ A few links about this machine: +
