I’m starting to resent my 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

Kenapa harga bekas Thinkpad bisa jatuh jauh dari harga rilis nya dibanding Laptop merk lain?
ThinkPad itu biasanya gak dijual di retailer Lenovo resmi di mall (kalau pun ada, dikit sekali). Yang beli kantor. Setelah 5 tahun, dijual sekaligus ratusan. Harga setelah penyusutan sudah "Rp 0". Dijual berapa pun, kantor tetep "untung" dan masuk ke "other income". Jadi dijual murah, dengan kondisi

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

Unhappy X1(G9) owner, want some advice downgrading
4k display kills your battery. Avoid X1 Carbon if you don't like soft touch coating. Some other models might have a soft touch as well, so look that up before buying. I'd go with the same CPU you had, 1185g7 is a good option on a budget. Or AMD 6650u, 6850u are still powerful enough, battery efficie

X9 vs X1 Carbon - Pricing
I'd go for T14, maybe t14s or X9 - the X1 Carbon always was "expensive, but cool and slow", it was never about being a good deal I also hate to say it, but if you are not overly attached windows/linux, just get a macbook. Even refurbished M4 Pro or something like that will be miles ahead in terms of

T14s Snapdragon 64GB OLED - the ultimate ARM workstation
100% agree. This is the best Windows PC on the market right now and it isn’t close. Only way it can be bested is if Lenovo decides to stop putting Intel shit into its X1 Carbon line. How did you get that deal?

ThinkPanther X1 Carbon Gen 14 Unboxing & First Impressions - Core Ultra X7
what makes panther lake so interesting are the H processors The non-h stuff isn't appreciably better than lunar lake / carbon13. 356H probably won't be much faster than the 255H but it should be more efficient. Lenovo didn't really want to put the 255h in the carbon 13. Maybe H class will finally ma

Switching from M1 Pro to used X1 Carbon for personal use — will an i5-1235U keep up with a full stack dev workload on Linux?
- Is the i5-1235U going to bottleneck me noticeably for this kind of workload? No, but it's the least efficient processor generation that was ever released under the "core i" marketing umbrella. So battery life isn't good compared to the machines older or younger than it. - Would you go Gen 10 i5 or s

Why is the X1 Carbon considered the most premium ThinkPad?
For me, the X1 Carbon is considered the “premium” ThinkPad mainly because of the design philosophy behind it rather than raw performance. Lenovo positions it as their showcase model the one that’s supposed to represent the brand at its best. In day-to-day use though, the differences aren’t as dramat
