RE: Saving for a laptop: what my search taught me about price and patience

Thank you, @asd336699! I’ll ask to run "powercfg /batteryreport" before paying and compare the full charge capacity with the original capacity. You’re right that a replacement battery could change the real cost of that 900 DT ThinkPad. I hope it passes the inspection when I’m ready to buy!

You're very welcome! Taking that extra minute to run the report can definitely save you from unexpected costs down the road. Just a quick tip: if a seller hesitates or refuses to let you run that simple command, consider it a red flag. Best of luck with the inspection and your computer science studies!
