I'm eyeing this thinkpad t14 gen 2, which is $40-50 less than normal. Only drawback I can see is this chip on the corner. How bad is it? Will it develop into a bigger problem?
It is in the same city as me, so I can closely inspect it.

I'd definitely check for the display light backbleed on that corner. Other than that, if you are okay with it it'll be fine.

I think not, I mean look for yourself it's the corner that is a bit dented, I think hinge should be fine. You'll see when you get hands on it though

I looked at more teardown pictures, there is some space between the dented corner and the screen itself. Only concern would be the hinge, which I'll open and close to feel it

Price also dropped by another $20
