Would increasing RAM help?

The problem isn't the RAM, it's your graphics card (UHD Graphics 620). You're officially below the minimum requirements for the game. Your Dell Latitude 7490 is a business laptop and not designed for gaming.I'm sorry to have to give you the bad news. πŸ˜•

what's the lowest/cheapest model Thinkpad model that is officially supported by Windows 11?

ThinkPads are a poor choice for this specifically because some of the 8th gen models are considered "legendary" and are regularly talked about by online influeners. So like T480s are oldest officially to run 11 but they can be seen for $300+. IME standard retail 11 runs fine on 8th gen without needi

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.

t480 vs t14

T14 is newer and I'd go that direction if you can afford it. The T480 is on the inner edge of 9 years old and T490 is barely any better at the inner edge of 8 years old. (Although as mentioned they're arguably probably fine for office usage and light video work. my primary personal computer is a Lat

Should I join the church of Thinkpad.

What kind of specs and/or overall vibes/priorities are you looking at? Not all ThinkPads are fully internally flexible. Some T14S machines and many X-series machines have soldered RAM, which isn't necessarily bad if you're aware and plan up front. I usually recommend Intel 8th gen for the quad-cores

end of support l470 for game dev and it

Get a newer computer. If budget is your top concern, consider Dell Latitudes. They generally cost as little as ~half what any given ThinkPad model does on eBay, for something more or less comparable. (e.g. ThinkPad T480 can run $150-200 and Latitude 7490 tends to run at more like $100. (This can var
