Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd Generation 20A7-002QUS.

I have listed it as 'Parts Only' because it has a few potential issues that came up when I was reviewing it.

1) When attempting to wipe it and reinstall Windows it would occasionally not boot up properly. If I turned the system off for a bit (30 minutes) and try again it seemed to work fine. It's not clear that it's overheating or anything, and it didn't seem to shut off once Windows was up.

2) I'm not 100% sure how the row of adaptive keys at the top is supposed to work, but it may not be working correct as I wasn't able to cycle through the options. This may just be a lack of the right software being installed (or existing, as I think these models originally came with Windows 8 and it has Windows 10 currently).

3) That's all I noticed, but I didn't do a comprehensive testing. I did test the battery and make sure that it holds at least a 30 minute charge. It went from 80% to roughly 60% in that time, so the battery seems to be fine. Also the laptop is old, the screen doesn't quite look perfect but there's nothing terribly wrong with it.

It does include a working power supply.
