| From: Lennart Sorensen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Well I think the current price on a T580 at $830 is pretty good. | That's for 8GB ram, 500GB HD (not SSD), 1920x1080 15.6" IPS panel and | i5-7200U (2.5GHz) CPU. Looks good. Where is that? Is it ending today? (Not important to me -- I don't actually need a new computer. But I'm interested.) I assume (but don't know) that you could easily add an NVMe SSD to this. Aftermarket SSDs are cheap and seem to be getting cheaper. I kind of thought that T5n0 models would have n'th generation Intel processors. I have noticed that there are exceptions, unfortunately. The i5-8____ series are usually better than the i5-7___ series. Often twice as many cores.
