        Especially living in WA. 99% of "deals" aren't deals here— once the shipping is added. On a lot of items, the shipping is double (or more) than the item cost. We know that the shipping can be calculated first, as many sites have it.

    Is this really a deal? Bought a refurbed 15inch 1080p thinkpad with these specs for $60 7-8 years ago… The only thing it has on that is an SSD.

    I don't really understand what laptop manufacturers are doing. Essentially no value increase in the sub $1k market in the last decade, until you get to dedicated GPU's. It's not even worth the time to be looking at a $3-400 laptop let alone a refurb "deal" like this.

      Bought a refurbed 15inch 1080p thinkpad with these specs for $60 7-8 years ago…

      Are you sure? The chipset was released 2015 (7 years ago), and was $281 at RRP… How did you get a refurbed 1080p laptop with this then-brand new chipset for $60? Unless you were buying it second hand off someone who didn't know much about computers.

        my 2012 HP ProBook 4730s is solid like a tank - doesn't overheat - the only key that looks loose is the Windows key but it ain't coming off even if I try to pull it.

    The track pad on these really shows its age and you won't enjoy using it if you've used a newer track pad lately. Otherwise they were a pretty well built machine. I'd expect the battery to do almost nothing for you so don't go far from the charger.

  • mitch01 on 04/11/2022 - 18:03

      768p isn't blurry by any means on a 14" display, unless your face is hovering right over the laptop keyboard. By no means ideal and hard to compare to a 1080p display, but for this price you can't complain.

      Given they released circa 2016, i would definitely say no.

      I vaguely remember only see laptops with USB C charging released around early 2020.

      • mantichoral on 05/11/2022 - 13:53

        I had added USB-C charging on HP laptops next to coax DC before 2020 - but the spec for this G3 says 'USB-C basic' i.e. no PD power delivery. Range of processors, screens, and wireless cards tho.

        https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-elitebook-840-g3-not…

        USB-C is an unholy mess.

        https://www.kitguru.net/desktop-pc/anton-shilov/not-all-usb-…

        we thought USB-C power would be the savior when HP laptops were refreshed to different thinner HP laptops with thinner coax power sockets. It wasn't, but we could buy coax power adapters in bulk to still use the power supplies fixed to our desks with the bigger connectors.

        people lost their coax power dongles. USB-C PD wouldn't charge.

        Work was hell.

        Still is, for different reasons.

    • mantichoral on 05/11/2022 - 09:05

      I have experience of a number of HP laptops and usb-c charging. Eventually, I gave up on my fully-charged laptop dying when left overnight plugged into HP's own usb-c power supply, and used the coax power socket with an older HP power supply instead - which was still there, because obviously even their engineers didn't trust their usb-c code.

      A whole bunch of EFI/BIOS updates later, HP's usb-c charging is still flaky.

      HP laptops may be a great corporate deal to lease cheaply, but for personal use I'd want something better.

      • spy on 05/11/2022 - 11:17

        My two year old HP Chromebook is dead as it won't charge through USBC, the only way it can be charged. Any ideas how I could bring it back to life?

        • ju2au on 05/11/2022 - 12:11

          Inability to charge could be due to a dead battery. However, regardless of official warranties, 2 years is within the expected lifespan of a laptop so you should be able to still claim warranty to fix it.
