T480s

So what have you changed, exactly? Linux Mint generally has a worse battery life than windows on most laptops, including mine (lenovo t480s).

It has an 8th generation processor with 4 cores, 8 threads, I have a few ThinkPads from that generation the l580 and l380 so long as their memory is in dual channel (both slots are filled in with a stick of same speed and capacity) the 2400mhz max speed of the ram shouldn't cause many issues. The cl

too expensive! A refurbished t14 gen 5 is 520$ from Lenovo so I don't see the reason for buying a t480. My little daughter is using my 8 year old t480s to study.

we're mostly cheap bastards who buy offlease /ex-corporate machines.. yes there are a few who buy new from the website but i think they're in the minority. apple's core market is the individual. large margins, smaller volumes lenovo's core market is the enterprise.small margins, large volumes. the i

Bought it from facebook marketplace, It was during lock-downs and I think the guy needed money I went with this screen: "BOE NE140FHM-N61 14" Full HD Laptop Screen 400cdm Brightness" from ebay uk (£69.99). Very happy with it, it feels satisfyingly bright (still not as bright as 500 nits) Got the bat

Nope, Dell. +1 for Lenovo tho. My daily driver is a T480 that I built with parts salvaged from 3 dead T480s :)

Thats weird, I can include <iostream, vector, map, string, set, algorithm, fstream, sstream, stdexcept> and more and still compile a 1000 lines file in less than a second on an old lenovo t480s

I'm not sure why you think this is so confusing. The 's' is the 'slim' version. It is traditionally Lenovo's slimmest model that is still a full-fledged business laptop with proper docking support (at least before they went all USB-C), unlike the much more radical X1 Carbon. I'm not sure when they f

quick update, after removing the backplate and not seeing any burn marks, I decided to try the original lenovo charger (65W) and immediately I had the same problem and smoke came from the USB port. I'm quite sure there's a bent or faulty pin in the USB port and I will have to replace it, if that's p

With T480, you will need to carefully review offers - the external battery is available in three sizes (24/48/72Wh) , and only the largest option has a battery life advantage. Also, the dual batteries are a budget liability these days as you have to factor in replacement costs for two batteries (aro
