As illustrated by recent offers for the X1 Extreme and P16s, refurbished laptops are quite popular among ThinkPad buyers as both deals sold out very quickly. The same might be the case with Lenovo's latest deal for the AMD version of the wallet-friendly ThinkPad L14.
More precisely, the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 with the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 5875U and 16GB upgradable DDR4 RAM is currently on sale for just $394 on eBay. These units have been refurbished by the manufacturer and might have some minor signs of wear, although most of these laptops reportedly look and feel like new. In any case, the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 is covered by a two-year warranty and runs on Windows 11 Pro.
Our corresponding review of a different AMD variant is a must-read for laptop shoppers who are considering the ThinkPad L14 Gen 3. While the powerful CPU and decent amount of memory are worth some praise, prospective owners should know that this 14-inch Lenovo notebook sports a relatively basic 1080p display with a peak brightness of 300 nits and just 45% NTSC color space coverage.
Moreover, this particular configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 comes with a paltry 256GB SSD, which is why storage-hungry users might want to invest a few more dollars and upgrade their new laptop with a 1TB SSD such as the WD Blue SN580 (currently $65 on Amazon). Even without the storage expansion, this 14-inch notebook is well-suited for office work and is probably one of the best values for buyers who can't spend more than $400.
