I'm curious of the price for that 96 GB of memory. And the type. DDR3?

Or as we would say in my language, my (dress) shirt.

if it's anything like other thinkpads just wait a couple years for people to put them on third party marketplaces to sell cause they don't know what they have.

I don't know what it is about about people who buy new Thinkpads and then sell them a couple years later for dirt cheap because they assume they're out of date. I've scored like 5 or 6 thinkpads this way.

It’s business cycling through their PC leases or getting rid of 3/4 year old machines.

I usually bought Thinkpads used for my business and would just cycle them to the field techs who would destroy them after a year or two in the field. Yeah toughbooks would last longer but they were way more expensive and could still be destroyed or severely mangled.

Well the base model starts at $3700...

So maybe $10k all in? Haha

Yep, I'm rocking a 2019 Lenovo today and it runs a treat!

I have a 2010 Lenovo X series that still runs fine with Linux. Great machines.
