I’ve been trying to find P1/X1 Extreme (Gen 1/2/3) and X1 Carbon laptops (Gen 7/8) that come in the configuration of Intel 8th/9th/10th gen (newer is better) in i7, or the AMD Ryzen equivalent of it, 16/32GB of RAM, 512GB/1TB of storage space, FHD display and preferably 2xSODIMM, if possible. No dedicated GPU, because I’m not going to be playing games. Also, no operating system, because I’ll be using Linux. So far, this effort hasn’t been going well. What will improve the success rate for finding a refurbished/renewed device?
The budget isn’t finalized, but I’ve imagined it to be somewhere in the ₹30k-40k range. I’d prefer if it were in ₹20k-30k. Country is India, by the way, and I am open to getting them imported, as long as I can get it for cheap, and have it last for almost four years, and get parts readily available. I’ve tried looking in DesertCart and UBuy and they’re expensive in both the sites. E-Bay does not have enough devices.
