About the Lenovo ThinkPad X280
The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 belongs to the ThinkPad T and X series: a ThinkPad with two batteries, one internal and one swappable. It was released in 2018.
Its memory and storage can both be upgraded. Parts are still widely available, either new or as tested replacements.

Lenovo ThinkPad X280 questions
Can you get my files off a Lenovo ThinkPad X280 that won’t turn on?
Usually, yes. The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 has a removable drive, so we can often read it directly even if the rest of the laptop is dead. If the drive itself has failed, we recover your files from a copy.
How long does a Lenovo ThinkPad X280 repair take?
Screen, keyboard and battery repairs are often done the same day when the part is in stock. Board repairs take a few days, and we give you a timescale with the quote.
