Honest question. Why don't people buy old laptops instead of cheaper new ones? I'm no expert but the cost to performance ratio isn't to far off. I am typing this on T420 Thinkpad laptop. I get desiring to use open hardware but at the detriment of performance doesn't quite make sense.

I bet this is cheaper, and lighter than your thinkpad, with a better battery and require less care.

I got this thinkpad without hard drive for under $100 so they are a lot closer then some would have guessed.
And how long does its battery last?

I do agree. You can get used X and T series Thinkpads for a couple hundred dollars. They will outlive most cheap new laptops.

If you get a good one. I've been burned so many times now by people selling something they know has problems. They often don't manifest during the "test drive." It sucks.
I've picked up i5(2600)/8g/500G laptops for 150 like this on several occasions.
They have a typo on the spec sheet: USB 2.0 Port Should be 3.0 Port .
I wish the Motorola Atrix concept of plugging your phone into a laptop-shell and using the phone's CPU, memory, storage, etc. had taken off. My iPhone is already much more powerful than this ARM laptop, but I obviously can't use it like a laptop.
