im planning to buy this Lenovo t14 gen 4 512/16 i5 for 340euros from marketplace seller doesnt have bios code, is that a good deal?
>>108004341>inteltrashget anything AMD and you will be happy. I've been thinking about getting a lenovo yoga or somethin
>>108004353>anythingeven hp elitebook? i read build quality is trash but idk ive only experienced dell and thinkpad
>>108004341maybe lenovo can open it might be difficult for anyone else
>>108004341yeah bro, just buy a stolen corporate laptop with the firmware level remote control function still enabled, what could go wrong?
>>108005528>>108005555i never bought a bios locked laptop in my life and im broke af i will not risk it it could be troublesome ill just wait for another deal
>>108005783>i never bought a bios locked laptop in my lifeForget about that shit .stat--the newer models require cracking the bios and reflashing it to unlock the bios, unlike older models. If you haven't ever done that don't try because a thinkpad that isn't locked doesn't cost that much. Heck, if you want a tank, P53 (and some p15/16-s) can be 500gb ssd, i7, real gpu (often 4gib vram), and 32gib ram for like $350-400 depending on how many days you are willing to look on ebay for. And you could use it as a blunt force weapon too. :3
>>108004353>>intel>trashIn things with no real gpu absolutely kek--amd igpus are insanely good for being part of the cpu.
>>108005900>$275.55 delivery
>>108005973Show full listing.Also, are you in the USA?Literal third option for searching "thinkpad p53" on ebay is a Intel i7-9750H 2.60GHz 64GB RAM 512GB SSD for $360 and a charger for it is like 60-80 if you get a pretty good condition one; pic related.
>>108006020Also, I asked the seller (this was a few weeks ago, but same listing) and there is an actual gpu in it that they just didn't add to the listing. Anyhow, there are plenty of cheaper options if op is in the usa.
>>108006020>are you in the USA?no
>>108006071>noOpe...what country? 275 in shipping is insane.
>>108006090morocco
>>108006232lol
>>108006232>moroccoWelp...all I can find are $200-300 in shipping for thinkpads so...you are fucked...Are you going to try to run Linux or VMs on that laptop? If so then absolutely avoid it because enterprises often disable virtualization and force secure boot in the bios...but if not I don't think you have many options...no matter what you are getting fucked...
>>108006300i might at some point switch to linux, anyway thanks i wont risk it ill just keep searching on marketplace
>>108006300>you are fucked...At least op doesn't have to pay $2300 for a shithole rental.
