Will this laptop be enough for schoolwork? I don’t think I have a need for a laptop for anything other than school work and I play RuneScape a bit so I know that will run well. My old lenovo broke down finally after 10 years. I was wondering if this laptop will be enough and last me another 10 years at least.
It’s refurbished and $400 with shipping included. Or should I just splash out on a new laptop $1000+?
Sorry I know absolutely nothing about laptops. I had an old Lenovo flex5 I bought in 2014 that finally broke down. I really liked it and was thinking of buying it again but I always thought thinkpads seemed cool laptops
I wouldn’t recommend it. The CPU and RAM are acceptable, but it has a very low-end 1366x768 TN panel. It’s a really poor display. For around $400, you can definitely find something better like some of the recently posted FHD T14 G2 AMD’s in that price range.

It’s not about being picky. The screen is objectively low quality, featuring 220-nit brightness, 45% NTSC color gamut, and 600:1 contrast ratio. It’s a TN panel. Claiming higher-end screens are unnecessary is one thing; enduring poor quality daily is another.

Maybe you think it’s being picky, but in reality, insisting on such high standards is unusual. Not everyone experiences headaches from such displays. Let’s agree to disagree here.

The reality is, 1366x768 resolution is outdated. In today’s world, Full HD is the minimal standard for a reason. Calling this ‘spoiled’ overlooks the basic requirements for modern software and usability.
