  5. Before I put my trusty Lenovo ThinkPad T480s on eBay I thought I might see if anyone here in #Brisbane (or #Australia willing to pay postage) might be interested in acquiring it. Other i5 8th gen 16GB RAM 512GB SSD T480s on eBay are going for around $400+ AUD. So maybe I could let it go for $200 AUD Mastodon mates rates. It's been well used and well loved. Fully working (except the SD card reader is on the blink, but could be fixable). Runs Linux well, but now factory reset to Windows 11. Share with any friends who might be interested. Thanks!

    EDIT: Hold off your boosts for now, we may have a buyer! ✋

    EDIT 2: Sold! Another fediverse success story! :flower:
