Why do you love thinkpad?
I once found a ThinkPad X270 at my school, literally thrown into a trash container without RAM or a disk. I grabbed it and tried to revive it by installing some spare RAM from another laptop, but it didn’t turn on. I was really sad and had no idea how to fix it, so I just stored it in my room like a

Switching from Windows 11 Pro to Linux
On my ThinkPad X270, I use LMDE7 with XFCE. But Debian (13) with KDE Plasma should run really smoothly on your Laptop.

Best cheap used laptop in 2026 for basic use? (150–250€ budget)
Actually, I’m more looking for a “hidden gem” model like the ThinkPad X270/X280 business laptops produced in massive quantities for companies, super reliable, and now dirt cheap on the used market. In 2026, what model would you recommend in that category?Dell Latitude? HP EliteBook? Fujitsu? Somethi

Used linux for 2 months and switched back to Win11
I believe one needs to use the tools one needs to get the work done. I personally have a MacBook for video editing but I love my ThinkPad x270. It has opened my mind to a whole new aspect of tinkering with computers and I am really enjoying it.

Am I crazy for wanting to build a raspberry pi 5 as my daily driver?
Just for comparison, the price of the cheapest display kit on there (Display B with 2GB Pi) is around the same i paid for my current daily driver laptop. A ThinkPad x270 with 1080p touchscreen, 8gb ram, a 250gb ssd and an i5 6300U. If you check eBay you'll probably find similar laptops around the sa

Battery not working properly x270, 6 cell 72WH
Hey, I’ve run into the same issue when hunting for a new battery for my old ThinkPad x270. I bought a replacement from AliExpress, and as soon as I installed it, my CPU frequency tanked just like you described. Tried all the usual tricks from the internet-tweaking power settings, reinstalling driver
