actually hehe..
I'm selling one of my t430's on kijiji...
it's been on kijiji for about a week ...going on two now...
it's got 8gb....it'll take 16gb ...
brand new western digital 160gb hd
it doesn't have the res. you wanted...ie: 1920x1080 ..(.the only point to such a high res. is honestly ...serious graphic work...so unless that is your professional niche ...you'd never utilize it.
and for that kinda res. and purpose ...I rely on my tablet convertibles...)
I bought it new about a year ago now ...cross-border shopping...
I've used a 2nd hd drive tray ($20 off ebay) in the optical bay...and had an 128gb ssd in it with a tb internally .....overoverkill
Hell I've kept the batt properly even....it is a beastly beast of a beastie machine.
Honestly ...if you go for anything ..... go for as much ram as possible...hd's and ssd's are a dime a dozen compared to the cost to purchase additional ram...
and I reiterate...
unless you are doing incredibly miniscule and highly intricate fine detailed art on your machine...you will never use it's potential.
