I'm considering upgrading my laptop and giving my current one to someone else. I'm looking for a device with a 15.6" FHD display, at least 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, HDMI, USB 3.0, and an audio jack, all within a budget of under 500€.

I've found some refurbished options at a good price, and these two seem like the best choices:

  1. Lenovo ThinkPad L590: 15.6" i5 8365U, 8GB RAM, SSD 256GB, Full HD, Grade A
  2. Lenovo ThinkPad T580: 15.6" i5 8350U, 8GB RAM, SSD 256GB, Full HD, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 2GB, Grade A+

Which one would you recommend?

At least in Germany, refurbished sellers have to give you one year of warranty for those used PCs. The few Euros (the difference isn't too big) more could be worth it for that extra security.
