I’m considering upgrading my laptop and giving my current one to someone else. I’m looking for a device with a 15.6" FHD display, at least 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, HDMI, USB 3.0, and an audio jack, all within a budget of under 500€.

I’ve found some refurbished options at a good price, and these two seem like the best choices:

  1. Lenovo ThinkPad L590: 15.6" i5 8365U, 8GB RAM, SSD 256GB, Full HD, Grade A
  2. Lenovo ThinkPad T580: 15.6" i5 8350U, 8GB RAM, SSD 256GB, Full HD, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 2GB, Grade A+

Which one would you recommend?

    Just so you know, L series is the budget, while T is the flagship. Even if one might excel on paper, you may find its build quality to be lacking.

    In short: I’d go with T580.
