Bought from Chandni Chowk Kolkata, Price: 24000 INR.
First I thought to buy from u/Willing_Front_2397, He was super helpful indeed. However, he only had 16/512 GB model available @26000 INR, pretty good pricing. But my workflow doesn't need much of storage so, got this one from local market instead.

Checked with Lenovo Vantage, everything seems original. Battery Health 94%, SSD health 91%, Internal condition as shown above.

Should I replace the thermal paste ?

I must need to get a laptop rn, and can’t go above 250$ (≈25000 INR). I already had a laptop with Ryzen 5 5500U, Was using Tahoe there. But, need to give it back to friend.

So, I am looking for thinkpad or similar with hackintoshable specs and 16gb Ram, should I get i5 10th gen/8th gen or i7 10th/8th gen?

This will be a temporary laptop for the immediate work related to React Native/iOS and Android developement.. I am looking for MBA M1 but they are not available in here or very badly priced :(

I am doing Swift and React Native development,
Currently using Ryzen 5500U setup in sequia, working as intended, but the latest xcode and expo sdk 56 is unsupported in here.

In a few months we will be updating our app to the new sdk and I don’t want to get cooked at the last minute.

What do you guys think, will xcode be basically abandoned for non-arm chipsets with the xcode stable that will come with macOS 27 ?
