Again a nice video! 50 pounds for that is incredible. In France, we should look at 120 euros minimum for a used X260, and not for this top tier model. Usually, we get 128/256Go and 8 Go RAM with the i3-6100u or i5-6200u/6300u, no backlit keyboard and the basic TN screen. Don't forget to say that you got a SD card reader and 3 USB ports, wich is amazing for such a small form factor laptop, you can plug a mouse, a headset and an external storage at the same time. The Intel HD 520 graphics is a solid iGPU for older or lightweight games, but unfortunately, you will not have Dual channel compatibility due to the single RAM slot in the X260 architecture. I played on this iGPU on a i3-6300u x260 from 2017 to 2023. I used to play a nice amount of games on a stable basis without stutters or freeze. With plugged power and ajusted settings at 1368x766, like: Minecraft (Sodium+Iris, like you, 50 fps locked), Stardew Valley, (high 60fps) Team Fortress 2, (low 45fps locked) CS source, (High 60fps) TES Oblivion, (High 50fps locked) TES Skyrim non SE (low 50fps, medium 30 locked) Civilization V (Low DX9 50fps locked) Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion ( high 50 locked) Tomb Raider 2013 (low 30 fps locked) Mount & Blade Warband (Medium 50 fps locked) MW3 2011 ( Medium 30 fps locked) Quake 4 (High 60fps) RealRTCW (High 60fps) XIII (High 60fps) League of Legends (Medium-low 50 fps) Among Us (max, 60fps) The thermals were High, with around 80/90°C when on heaviest games on the list ( the low fps locked ones), but on most games, not going to more than 82/83°C after multiple hours. If using Linux (Ubuntu and Mint for me), some native games are runing better like Minecraft (no Sodium), Tomb Raider 2013 and Civilization V. I think you can have 10/15% better graphic performances with the top model X270 i-7 7600U and Intel HD 620 with 2400Mhz RAM. I really love those videos, it's very interesting to see what is the market in other countries and see that massive difference between UK and France (I assume you are in UK, correct me if i'm wrong). Best regards.

For those saying the price is bonkers and fake, please remember these two things : - This computer was purchased in the U.K, where the used market is absolutely insane. - The pound is a fairly strong currency, 50 pounds is 65$

Pretty great of the seller to offer a replacement SSD on a laptop this cheap

This is my main laptop that I still use everyday for college and I love this laptop. Still use it since 2017... Tho mine has a core i5

I have X260 as well. My only regret is that X260 cannot accept 2242 SSD on its WWAN slot.

That was a Awesome seller!

Great video. Lenovo lover here t490s, p51 and p520 desktop. All used and trouble-free.

I still use my x230t, mostly as a drawing tablet, but , it keeps up. loved their x series ultrabooks

this model still cost around 100 usd here where I live. Still a good deal ngl. These are capable machines, even older thinkpads are good

I got an x270 and pushed it to the max, 32GB RAM, 1,5 TB of storage with 2 SSds, dualboot windows 10 and Linux Mint and it is a great little companion

Still a pretty good deal for light use tasks, especially considering the seller was willing to send you another SSD.

I picked up a x280 i3, 8gb and 256ssd for £59. Didn't come with a charger. But £59 for a Windows 11 laptop that has a 1080p IPS screen. Can't complain. Ran the battery report and it only showed 16 cycles. Some scratches on the lid, but apart from that the laptop almost looks new.

I sold this laptop for $200 so I can get a gaming laptop but had good experience with this laptop. Used it for 7 yes till I replaced it

I got 10 of those last year for $50. They didn't come with RAM and hard drives. There were three i7s and seven i5s. I had some DDR4 RAM sticks laying around. I bought some cheap SSDs. I put Windows 10 on them and donated them to friends and relatives.

I got a HP X360 8th Gen I7 for $50. All it needed was thermal paste and a good cleaning.

What is the battery time on those (browsing/watching videos)? They seem to have all the power i would require of a secondary laptop, the only question is how long does the battery last. And yeah windows is definitely a good thing. Not that i hate linux.. but it´s rather inconvenient and (at least one my previous laptops) recuded the time running on battery power by roughly 40 mins to a full hour. (windows seems to have much better power management, or at least the drivers enable it to run more efficient, not sure what it is)

Hi Im looking to buy a thinkpad for work and school I have looked at the t480 and t480s What should I ask while purshaing a Thinkpad?

Is this model's casing still made out of carbon fibre, like the older X-models?

Man better to go with x270, the last good x series upto 7th gen. And dual battery. However batteries are hard to find, but an absolute work horse, with a 6 th gen. With 50 chrome tabs, and 16 gb upgraded ram, I have nothing to complain about ....... Except the bad hinges, as some brass thread inserts are broken, however fixable it's too close to other things and total disassembly required.

"Comes with an i7", but an important note is it is a dual core cpu

Great video, except in my country, the x260 with core i5 and 8gb ram already cost 100$ :(

In Lebanon this laptop would cost $300

My £80 w540 would kick the ass of most newer stuff in the sub £200 range, old laptops are best

Wow, where did you buy it at??

i mean, judgin by the thumbnail, yes, it's better THAN MY think... ThinkPad t410 lol

Did you forget to put thermal pase on the gpu die?

you're lying for clickbait the price is absolutely bonkers

people still sell that model of thinkpad in my country for around 200-300usb😂

$200 minimum (for the lowest spec model) in canada unfortunately :(

50GBP you practically stole this thing.

lol i am using a rog strix g15 with gtx1650 and ryzen 7 4800h and it runs out of battery faster than old laptops =))

i dont understand. you got the laptop for the cost of a ssd and got another ssd for free ? how does this math works ?🤔

cannot be upgraded to Win 11, the CPU is too old. I'm in the USA

Sorry i would not want to trade my 2012 Dell E6430. Sure mine is not a thin and light, but i only use it at home on my desk anyway. And the i7-3740QM although being years older make the i7 title of the 6600U look like a sick joke from Intel. (The i73740QM is 3 years older then the i7-6600U but the 6600U is 40% slower). Also you can guess the E6430 second hand is even cheaper because price is not related to speed but to age, which i think is funny. Mine came equipped with 16Gb memory and a small 240Gb Samsung SSD.

Install Linux on it.
