Following his advice I looked on Ebay and Wow, there’s quite a selection of IBM and Lenovo refurbs available for about a third to a half of what you can expect to pay for one on Amazon (that was where I got my first Thinkpad). My friend Shark who has a whole fleet of Thinkpads said he usually finds them on Ebay for fairly cheap.
So I figured I’d drop a little cash and buy myself another Thinkpad refurb for school. It was getting to be kind of a pain in the ass taking my rig apart every time I needed to take my T410 to school with me, then putting it back together when I got home. I started Fall classes at the community college, and I’m also doing a work study job there as part of my financial aid, so I’ve been pretty busy lately.
So this is my first time in like three years not being a NEET.
