Thinkpad masters, I summon you!
I currently own a beautiful X270, love it so much, keyboard is just superior and the upgrade options are endless, but... it has the hideous NT 720p screen. Too bad, every time I try to do some work my eyes scream for help.
So I am considering an upgrade, and I've put my eye on a T480 sold in Taobao (a massive Chinese marketplace). I am looking at the i7 8550U / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD / nvidia MX15 for 1831 Yuan, that equals around 278USD.
What do you think? is it a good deal? I am very skeptical with Taobao sellers, even though I've always had an acceptable experience, something they can be sketchy as f***.
Oh masters, guide me to the right ThinkPath...
