The Lenovo ThinkPad T430 is a bestselling 2017 refurbished laptop that received positive reviews for an exceptional keyboard, great build quality, reliable performance, and the standard no frills design Lenovo is known for. On the downside some reviewers may not be happy with the outdated design style (personal preference) as well as the fact that it does not have an HDMI port. Lastly, the display is only 720p, which may put some off. The ThinkPad T430 is a great option for those looking for a reliable long term laptop for work or office use without some of the bells and whistles of more modern models.
