Upgraded Lenovo ThinkPad T530 with upgraded CPU, storage, memory, display and WiFi card
Jump at the opportunity to own an iconic ThinkPad with a classic look and feel but modern upgrades. I have performed multiple upgrades on this unit, making it very capable as a daily driver even in 2024:

• CPU: upgraded to Intel Core i7-3632QM, 4 core, 8 thread, 2.20 GHz frequency / 3.20 GHz turbo, 35W TDP
  
• Storage: upgraded to a 480GB SATA III solid-state drive (SSD)
• Memory: upgraded to 16GB DDR3L dual-channel (2x8GB) RAM
  
• Display: upgraded to a super bright LCD panel with 1920x1080 (FHD) resolution
• WiFi: upgraded to an AX200 WiFi 6 card

To enable the WiFi card upgrade, I unlocked the BIOS using 1vyrain, which removes the hardware whitelist and enables the 'Advanced' menu in the BIOS for a high level of customization.Other features and specifications:

• Linux Mint 21.3 operating system (other choices available upon request—contact me before you purchase)
• Iconic TrackPoint and ThinkLight
• Optical drive (DVD-RW)
• Battery included — untested but it holds a charge
• Laptop has been cleaned and dusted inside and out, including a fresh application of thermal paste on the CPU/heatsink
  

Power adapter is optional. By default the power adapter will be included, but you can use the coupon code "NOCHARGERPLEASE" at checkout to save 5% if you wish to supply your own power adapter.
Note: if you use the "NOCHARGERPLEASE" discount code then you will not receive a charger.
If you have questions about anything, please contact me before you order.
