I'm about to replace my 2016 ThinkPad because I fear it may be showing signs of failure (it tenporarily wouldn't recognize any connected microphones nor even its built-in one), but I don't know what I should do with it after. Would people still buy it despite its age? It has two 256GB SSDs in it (a built-in one and then one I added).
- I think it's likely someone would still buy it, especially since it's a ThinkPad. I see people on computer nerd forums go crazy over happily buying old ThinkPads, although I think some models are more popular than others. If nothing else, it's useful for parts!
  Maybe it would be worth a try to post in a fitting community with more info about the model and stuff and ask for the opinion of people who are more knowledgeable. You could also try searching the sold listings on eBay for your model to see how well they're selling, how often, and for how much.
  
  Hmm. Well, I've dropped it 3x over the years, from heights of 3+ ft. lol (like it falling out of a backpack when I forgot to zip it up, etc.). Somehow, everything except the Bluetooth module works. I'll poke around, thanks.
