Window 11 Pro performance issues with my T480. Time to switch to Linux.

If you really need Windows, I recommend Win10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Win11 LTSC 2024 also runs pretty well on my x270. But, Win10 LTSC runs great on all of my ThinkPads that range from a T420 to T480, s and non s. But, yeah, definitely install Linux as well.

Why are Lenovo ThinkPads so highly praised?

There was a really good post about this a couple weeks ago, that I fully recommend, I agree with every single word of it and my only single criticism is that the author didn't take a chance to add that what is true of ThinkPads is also true of every other corporate-aimed type of ocmputer.

Is buying a used Thinkpad even worth it anymore?

If you just want a lightweight good battery laptop, the ThinkPad has never been the solution. Batteries have never been a ThinkPad strong point. Until around the T460 era, displays were a MARKED bad point - and even now, if you're looking for an outdoor usable display, ThinkPad panels are traditiona

A blog post about Thinkpad Economics

Looks great! I've been thinking a lot about this kind of thig as I've been answering questions people ask about which thinkpad to buy and what the differences are between them and I think you touch on a really important misunderstanding. ThinkPads (and the other ExcelBox desktop and laptop models fr

What did you buy your thinkpad for?

T480: My first ThinkPad. Started life in a tuning garage running ECU software before being converted into a fun Linux hobby machine. Eventually died due to a fried VRM. X1C6: Dedicated media machine for the bed. Undervolted, repasted, and fitted with a "new" original LG battery. It’s the cheapest wa

MacBook or lenovo??

If you're on a tight budget, I'd go with a ThinkPad - spare parts can be found easily and are cheap. I would try to pick non-S model (T480) 8th gen Intel - it can have bridge battery and is a sturdy beater laptop that should still perform decently for basic tasks and has official Win 11 support.

Need a new computer at the office

basically any moderrn system will meet these requirements. With that being said, my top recommendation for a cheap laptop (that will meet these requirements) is a used/refurb Lenovo ThinkPad T480.

What are good laptop options today?

If you are willing to go refurbished, you can find a lenovo Thinkpad T480 or Dell Latitude 7480 for R4k-R6k depending on specs. These laptops were business and corporate workhorses and are built to last and easy to repair.
