Forget the 2nd one in this deal as it is an older slower 5400RPM HD, ughh, slow.. Unless you plan on putting an SSD drive in it of course.

Its older tech but is a good price and probably fine for your needs. Lenovo is also usually superior to most of the stuff you will find at best buy, for example.
I would put an SSD in it as comp suggests - in fact I'd call it mandatory these days. With black friday coming you should be able to pick up 240GB for $79.99 - do it!
Only thing that makes me hesitant to recommend it is that with refurb laptops you are gambling on battery life. I would personally buy new, but I'm biased. In that price range.... go for it!
A Bfill suggests, battery life is always a question in a refurbed laptop although replacement generics can be had for $50-75. usually. An SSD for $79. is going to be of the older slower variety, a decent name brand one will cost likely just over $100.
The T4x series of Lenovo's are normally the business class of 14" laptops so they were designed for the business professional, ie a little more solid construction, better hinges, etc. The T5x series are the same thing in a 15.6" screen. Keep in mind that the 14" ones don't have the separate numeric keypad on the right side.
