I’m looking to replace my tower PC with a mobile option (only strictly for work, no gaming or video editing).

And I’ve found an online shop that sells ThinkPads: they are selling this FHD (no HDR) i7-8650U, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage used laptop (X1 Gen 6) for 400 usd and I’m wondering if you guys would recommend it.

They offer a 3-month warranty.

They also have a 310usd i5-8350U, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage option, in case this sounds like a better deal (also used and no HDR); and a 345usd i5-8350U, 16GB RAM, 512GB one.

I’ve looked far and wide and it seems like all shops here sell these at the same price.

This is all in Vietnam and here I cannot use Amazon/eBay etc.

      Thanks a lot but I have no idea as to where to even begin with the search for trusted international shipping options. Any advice on that?

      I’m also not from the states so tough luck with relatives 😄

      How can I use the serial number to verify? Where and what to look for? Should I ask the shop before buying to show me the serial number? It’s an online-only store.
