Hello

Looking for a very good quality Lenovo ThinkPad refurbished or used

main usage, ms office apps like, excel, ppt, word, pdf, browsing, some movie and music

Backlit keyboard, ram and ssd upgradability and user swappable battery needed

Heard a lot about T480, but very hard to find genuine ThinkPad , many are sold with original parts swapped with cheap fake parts

had bad experience with online refurbished seller, looking to buy from offline stored in Mumbai from a good seller

please share contact and details so i can go and check personally

budget is 15-20k

I once got a refurbished Thinkpad T480 from amazon for ₹27000. I was very excited. But upon arrival, it had a small crack on screen corner with dead pixels, a few keys were broken/not working. Thankfully it got returned after many phone calls and sending images to amazon. So i would be cautious there.

Why buy an already 6 year old laptop & hope for upgradability, future-proofing? Nowdays even office & chrome will take up 16 gigs of ram. (i advice get at least 32 gigs)
Aren't the new Thinkpads a bit upgradable again (battery & SSD are upgradable in T14 & T14s)

If so, i would consider waiting a generation to get a bit lower price.

I bought a ThinkPad t495 from a seller in Chennai few months ago for 27k. So far happy with the purchase. The only issue was that some sort of rubber bezel around the screen was fully damaged. I do hate that it has only one ram slot.

I would strongly suggest sticking to offline buying only.

best route.. and how i got my lenovo back in time was .. i searched local YouTube vloggers. there are many.
they will list the shop mobile number in description, call them up, visit shop, inspect the laptop physically & buy.
( i used to know one but i deleted the contact once i left mumbai, will search and share if i find the bill)

I got a best deal on almost untouched, top end t480, was a corporate discard non-indian model.. and later i upgrade few stuffs and i guess when it comes for windows OS im all good for another 5-7yrs with this.
