What else can be uninstalled from a new Thinkpad?
don't forget improved battery life. I convinced oomf to switch to Linux on his gaming laptop; his battery lasts 4x longer now. later, I sold him one of my ThinkPads (a t480 with 72wh external battery), he's liking it so far (and running Linux on it, of course.)

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.

i summon all the mighty T480 programmers
Depends on your needs. I'd go for the one with the bigger battery and upgrade the SSD by myself. If you want to do AI stuff on the ThinkPad itself: don't. Just offload that to your desktop. Just SSH into it. For frontend development you don't need much. You need VScode, a browser and some CLI tools

Thinkpad é tudo isso mesmo?
Eu uso o ThinkPad t14 gen 3, já tive o t480, t490, e14. Sim, é tudo isso e muito superior as porcarias vendidas de asus, dell, acer.

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. The Myth o

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

I really love the idea of owning thinkpad instead of a mac. The only thing stopping me is the sound quality.
Get a recent one. X1 Carbon Gen 13has fabulous speakers. In comparison older ones (2018 Carbon Gen 6) are way worse to even crappy (X200 from like 2008). The X13 Gen 2 (2021???) has okay-ish (compared to 2015 13.3 MBP and 2015 12 MB). Edit: well, since you have a Mac and you're thinking about a new
