    I am really interested in lenovos T460s laptop, and in the lenovos outlet they have some good deals on them. However, many of them have different components (keeping in mind my price range is $600-800);

    - Some have i5-6200U Processors
    - Some have i5-6300U Processors
    - Some have 16GB (4 x 4 GB) PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600MHz SODIMM Memory
    - Some have 4GB 2133MHz DDR4 / soldered to systemboard
    - Some have 128GB Solid State Drive M.2 NGFF
    - Some have 128GB Solid State Drive M.2
    - Some have 500GB, 7200RPM Serial ATA 2.5" Hard Drive

    I think the different processors probably mean nothing in term of preformance, but what about the ram? is solder ram worse than non-soldered ram? Are low storage solid state drives better than high storage regular hard drives? I am confused as to what components I should be looking at when buying a refurbished T460s

    Happy Holidays!,
