40 of these are arriving on the 10th of August 2022 and will be shipped then - pre-order yours now to avoid missing out- we've never seen this model for this price!
This most recent of the refurbs is about as good as it gets before you break into the very latest and usually over the 1.5k mark. Even better battery life than it's predecessors, it's the same great workhorse but slightly improved here and there. The X series is an ultra-portable at 12.5" so it will fit and travel almost anywhere.

Why Refurbished and what does it mean?
Factory Refurbished does not mean second hand. Anything but. Commercial grade computers are many times the price of their ‘retail’ relations. They are built with robustness, endurance and performance in mind with tougher chassis, better components and stronger materials.
Corporates usually expire their IT assets after between a year and 2 years - premium expensive equipment potentially for destruction and adding to the immense pile of electronic waste globally.
Thanks to forward thinking manufacturers like Lenovo, these machines are graded, tested, parts replaced where standards are not met and re distributed through reputable agents with the full support to offer comprehensive warranty. Packaging is reduced to a minimum and the operating system is the very latest iteration with no bloatware or crapware loaded.
All in all, if I was a dictator, I would make sure all students, small businesses, schools and home users alike used factory refurbished Thinkpads. It’s inexpensive, ethical and the hardware is tough, fast, reliable and feature rich.
