In my opinion this is THE perfect Thinkpad in many ways. I originally bought this one used on Ebay for school during my vocational training I attended and it just stuck with me ever since. This model is the one that comes with an internal battery, meaning I can switch out the external battery mid session. The CPU is a little dated but perfectly fine for non-heavy tasks
