I’m going to university next year for engineering, and wondering if anyone could advise me on choosing a good used ThinkPad! Probably will buy from EBay or local used laptop store. For me, all the info and models is overwhelming because I know very little about laptops in general.
Ideally, I would like:
16 gb ram Fairly portable, would be bringing it to and from university each day
Ok battery life, I could plug it in throughout the day
Capable of running CAD programs, web browsing, coding, without an issue
Able to last me through the four years of university
Budget is ≈ $850 CAD/$625 USD
I’ll be buying a used iPad most likely, for taking digital notes, but would be open to a touchscreen laptop as well

The lead from Wall Street offers little clarity as the major averages opened lower on Friday and then bounced back and forth across the unchanged line, finally finishing mixed and little changed.The Dow added 33.18 points or 0.10 percent to finish at 34,798.00, while the NASDAQ eased 4.54 points or 0.03 percent to close at 15,047.70 and the S&P 500 rose 6.50 points or 0.15 percent to end at 4,455.48. For the week, the Dow rose 0.6 percent, the NASDAQ added 0.1 percent and the S&P gained 0.5 percent.The lackluster performance on Wall Street came on uncertainty about the outlook for the markets following recent volatility.
However, analysts are positive on the stock now. “We have seen a huge downside movement in the stock due to the central electricity regulatory commission’s (CERC) order that seems to be negative from 2014-15 onwards but we cannot take a linear negative view on the stock and further downside movement on the stock is unlikely. Currently stock is underpriced. Investors can bet on it for a longer horizon," said Vivek Gupta, director research at CapitalVia Global Research.
