I bought a refurbished item. It appears indistinguishable from a new one.Pros: Lightweight and fast for its class. Good battery life.Cons: It will not boot from a USB drive. I've tried updating the BIOS and changing the BIOS settings. A web search suggests this is a common problem with this model. If you are planning to install Linux or some other operating system this is not the laptop you want.Update: It took a little persistence but I finally got my Thinkpad to boot from a USB so I could install Linux. Here's what worked for me:1) Update the bios using the Lenovo support page2) During startup enter bios settings and disable secure boot3) Use a version 3.x usb drive. Old usb 2.0 drives didn't work for me.4) Download the free rufus application and use it burn your boot drive.5) During startup hit F12 and then choose USB 3.0 drive.I hope this helps.

Love how fast the system itself is. This machine will last for some time. very quite plus lasting battery life. I do charge it till 100% and unplug it so I am not letting the battery drain it's charging capacity. CPU usage is down to below 10% no matter how much browsers are opened.Download speed is excellent. W11 Pro updated to 24H2 took only 5 min. including restart. Restart system is so fast plus finger print to logon is even better.I'd highly recommend this machine. Ryzen Gen 5 7-7730U is awesome processor with 8 core.You can't also beat 40 gigs memory.
