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

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

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

Anyone Linux users here wanting to buy the new Framework 13 Pro but struggling to justify since you buy old thinkpads?

Depends on what your using it for. I just swapped out my wife's Framework 13 w/WIN11 for a X1 Carbon Gen 7 with CachyOS to access her work VM for work. The Carbon is much more responsive and snappier even in her VM environment. I bought the Framework of every intention of it being a long time keeper

Erfahrung mit refurbished Laptops

Ich fahre seit (mittlerweile über zwei) Jahrzenten gut mit gebrauchten Thinkpads. mit einem X1 Carbon oder X1 Yoga (convertible mit multitouch und Stift (der Akku vom Stift hält da aber nicht so lange)) solltest du gut durchs Studium kommen und bleibst gebraucht bei weit unter 1000
