<h2>Thinkpad T430</h2>
    <h3>27-08-2023</h3>
    <p>
    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.
    </p><p>
    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.
    </p><p>
    So I've bought another old Thinkpad, this time a T430. It has a 14" 1600 x 900 screen.
    </p><p>
    Upgrades:  16Gb ram, a 128Gb msata hard disk, a 480Gb SSD hard disk, and AC-7260HMW wifi card.
    </p><p>
    I'll upgrade the Bios with 1vyrain to unlock the limits of Ivybridge laptops and install the AC-7260.
    </p><p>
    It's also possible to upgrade the screen and processor.
    </p><p>
    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?
    </p><p>
    (Framework laptops look nice, but an older Thinkpad is waaaay cheaper!)
