Forgot to ask - good deal or not? (I'm not selling)

T400 had the worst TN panel you'll ever see.
The darkest black it can reproduce is more light gray. Color shift when you're not even moving your head.

Only get a T400 if you don't intend to use the internal display.

Source? All I could find on the screen is that the backlight is great

I've used a T400 for 7 years.

You can get i5 and i7 systems for around 150 CAD. Maybe not ThinkPad, but business laptops nonetheless.

Core 2 Duo is pretty slow senpai.

I'm putting Linux on it, and I don't want a processor with the ME anyway.

The core 2 duo has ME. This is a common misconception, the ME is removable (more like neutralized) with libreboot, it's not that it doesn't come with it.

who is dat seamon deamon?

Was not aware. Thanks. Still happy because it can be disabled.

How's the T400 screen vs the T420 one?

I've got one with 4gb ram and a harddrive for 100CAD. I suggest you look for a t420 or x series.
It's usable with SSD and Linux, but screen is really shitty and it's pretty slow for everything that's not web browsing and text editing.

The T400 is way too old to be worth it. If you still want one, keep in mind that you need singlerank ddr3 to achieve 8gb ram. Also, X9100 cpu can be had for 10$ on aliexpress/ebey.

Buy I dont recoment anything older than 3rd gen intel since this is the oldest gpu architecture to be supported in windobe10. You can get slightly damaged t430s for 165$ if you know where to look. RFD have threads about that.

What about the T410 for $170 CAD?

Never seen the T420 but T410 display is better than T400
T400 display is really awful

C2D is more than enough horsepower for about anything basic, shit my father just put 10 Pro on his T60p with T7300 2ghz C2D and 4gb RAM and it runs fine.

>tfw paid 15 bucks for my t61 with t7500, 4gb RAM and slapped my cheap 120gb SSD in it

Battery is about shot on it though going to buy the extended 9 cell

Where are you shopping ? A slightly damaged T420s can be had for 125$

you can get a t420 for that price

Just buy a chromebook, thank me later.

Go fot the T420

I bought a complete one for 50. Had its case broken in transit and the seller sent me another one free of charge.
