ThinkPad T480

As a student, you might as well come back to MacBook - brand-new Neo is 850 CAD with education discount, or you should be able to find older M chip Air models under 1000 CAD second hand. You get Microsoft Office IIRC, good battery life, good bright screen (some ThinkPads model configs still somewhat

The idea that the t480 is the "last great ThinkPad" is bonkers The t490 was just as well built but thinner, the downside was only 1 sodimm slot and only the (much bigger) internal battery. They kept using pretty much the same parts between the t490, t14, and t14 Gen 2. If you really want both sodimm

I think it's down to influencer video content. There's loads of people out there claiming the T480 is legendarily good and even explicitly that it's outright better than successors. Almost all of the T480's actual benefits as a computer exist solely in 2017 and in people's memories. The batteries wi

what is the reason this machine can't ? Also dont forget the t480 has to include 2 ram slots on its motherboard. Here's why: T14: https://sm.pcmag.com/t/pcmag_au/news/b/built-to-f/built-to-fix-not-to-toss-i-looked-inside-lenovos-2026-thinkp_fedc.3840.jpgT480: https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/Dp

The advantage of the T480 vs the 14 inch models coming after it is the external battery and the two SODIMM slots. Two SODIMM slots will make a brief re-appearance in the T14 Gen 5 / P14s Gen 5, some T14 Gen 6 has them as well and that's it (but of course the LPCAMM2 slot in the Gen 7 is far superior

Don't bother with powerbridge - you'll need to source extra batteries, and since the system was deprecated 8 years ago, it's a hassle. Why is it gone? Because you can buy a large universal Type C powerbank which will charge your laptop, phone, etc. Don't bother with MX150 either, it's laughably weak

Keep in mind it is far from a new laptop. Yes, it has its strong sides, and said characteristics are more or less okay (if you are able to find one nowadays). But in this budget, you can find something with much more modern and beefier CPU. Why T480 and not T14? In this budget, you might be able to

You avoided some t480 USBc power port issues. The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 suffered from a flawed early Thunderbolt firmware and controller design that could corrupt itself and permanently disable USB-C charging, creating a systemic, not merely mechanical, failure mode. By contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad

Dell Latitude 5000 series. 5420 is as old as I'd go really, 5440s are just 3 years old, you can get them on ebay in decent/working shape for $250 and they should happily get 8+h of battery. These complain if you give them any fewer than 60w of power but they will in fact happily run on 30w so you ca

4 juta udah nggak dapet banyak sekarang. Tapi beberapa tahun lalu sebelum harga pada naik, masih bisa dapet ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 Intel di 4 juta tipis. Huge upgrade dibanding Intel gen 8-10, Iris Xe emang nge-carry gen 11. Btw, nggak banyak yang bisa diakalin dari Intel gen 8-10 selain matiin patch Sp
