Sharing my experience about this product here (i specifically searched for T450 to see what people think about it, and that landed me here- so i want to share)... I have got one of these about 3 years ago , refurbished for only about $300 (if i recall correctly from Staples). It is an awesome laptop and satisfies all my needs.

My system is T450, intel core i5, 8 GB DRAM (upgradable), 256 GB SSD (I split it in half and installed Linux on half of this) - the battery life on both batteries is still good. So , for light to moderate daily use, this should be ok. I will probably keep this as long as it does not give me trouble.
hey dude I'm just wondering if I should upgrade mine to 16gb ram. If so can you help me find the one that fits perfectly on my laptop? I am very bad at all these laptop stuff.
16GB would be nice if you have the budget. If not, consider what you are going to use it for and if you really need it. It's inexpensive from Amazon if you live in North America. Search eBay for some used options.

@@Gobsm Gotcha. I am actually testing out and making a video for a P50 with a Xeon E3-1535M v5 CPU and Quadro M2000M GPU. Good for gaming, video editing. What is the price of the unit you are looking at?
The product specifications list 16GB as max and I haven't personally installed more than that. The T460 does take 32GB, that config I actually have listed for sale at the moment.
There will be some small differences. T Series being more for business use. Search up either one with "psref" at the end to view product specifications.
Im little bit confused in t440p , t450 and t460. I want mainly for Cybersec and video editing. In t440p I can upgrade the cpu. So what is your recommendation ?
Well, if you upgrade the CPU in the T440p to a quad core i7, that would probably be the best of the bunch. The T460 will have the best integrated graphics, but depending on what type of editing you are doing that may also be a good option. Cyber sec as in cyber security?
@@HaisteComputerRepair Yeah i mean the things were built to be mistreated.... not that i encourage people to do so. They are heavier than the laptops of today but depending on what OS and workload you are trying to do they are great
just bought this one yesterday but I see Fall Guys not reaching the 30 FPS on low graphics, also tried Resident Evil VII Biohazard teaser and it didn't look very playable. I know it doesn't have a nice graphics card or a lot of ram, but to me the chip sounds top tier for the price, any advice?
My only advice would be to lower the resolution in games as well as lowering the settings. The Intel HD 4400 integrated GPU is not going to do well with modern games that require at least 2GB VRAM in order to perform well. I wouldn't think RE Biohazard would be playable. Fall Guys, try lowering the resolution (make the display Windowed and put it down to something like 720p). Budget gaming is possible on this, but you really need to manage your expectation. Let me know how it goes!
hello i got this refurbished laptop recently. i noticed the battery capacities are really low (around 70%). and the laptop overheats even if i’m just browsing. the specs are 16gb ram, core i5, 512gb ssd. should i refund or should i buy new batteries+ clean out fan?
Clean the fan and see about putting new thermal paste on the CPU. As for the battery, sometimes you get what you get with a used laptop. Used batteries will be in various states of efficacy.
The last T470's I sold were priced at $260 - $280 CAD. It was all dependent on how much the unit initially cost to purchase. Could be more or less depending on that.
That T440 is pretty much the exact same laptop as this T450, with slight differences. It would be good for the same type of gaming in this video. You could livestream, but the webcam is pretty low quality so it might help to get a 1080p usb webcam. Are you wanting to livestream your gaming or just livestream yourself?
Try download Epic Games client or Steam client. Both of those are where you can buy games and download them to your computer. Epic will have free games every month or more. Steam overall is a little more user friendly. Make sure that system requirements line up with what your system can handle and try some out.
I would imagine it could, so long as the software you are using aligns with the T450 hardware. I think something on the lighter end, but I don't have any experience with DAW. I've only recorded and mixed on a BOSS digital 8 track console.
Hi, I wanted to know if this notebook with an i5 5300U processor would run games with more fps like: league of legends, valorant, fortnaite and gta5 does this notebook run these games at 60 fps?
Yes, though you would have to adjust the settings and resolution to find the best configuration. This laptop is not really great for competitive gaming, but it will run those games on low. League of Legends and Valorant will have an easier time. FortNite I found stuttered even on the lowest settings. GTA V, maybe on low resolution.

Well, if you own GTA V download it on the laptop and give it a go. If not, I was able to recently run GTA V on Intel HD 4600 graphics by lowering the resolution and settings. Just made it to stable 30fps. But, that was on a desktop with a 4 core 4 thread i5-4570. So, overall more power than the 2 core 4 thread CPU you have. I wouldn't recommend buying the game if you don't own it already. Save up for a better laptop or migrate to a desktop PC on a budget with a GPU.
@@shivagrg I would say only editing in a specific resolution like 1080p. Otherwise you will want to invest in something newer or if it has to be a laptop, one with a dedicated GPU outside of integrated graphics.
Maybe double check that your WiFi speeds/connection is stable and strong. Or, try a wired ethernet connection for less latency.
