Before You Buy a Refurbished ThinkPad Core i7

1. Check BIOS Lock
Ask the seller to confirm no supervisor password is set — a BIOS-locked ThinkPad is unusable without the password.
2. Keyboard Condition
High-mileage ThinkPads show key legend fading. Look for real photos of the actual keyboard in the listing.
3. Battery Health
Listings should state battery health percentage. Under 500 cycles is good. X1 Carbon batteries cost $80-$120 to replace.
