On my hands and knees, begging somebody to just tell me which ThinkPad model to buy.

My current main personal computer is a Dell Latitude 7490. It's been the best computer I've ever had. At ~6-7ish years old it still gets ~3-4ish hours of battery life, it can run off a DC barrel jack or USB-C power, and it meets the requirements for Windows 11. There's hundreds of them on eBay with

Revolutionizing the field (after I finish wrestling with APA).

I've been using it quite a while, it works fine. My rig is Dell Latitude 7490 with 8th gen core i5, 16gb ram, and I'm using office 2019 and zotero 7. Just make sure that Zotero is open while you use its word plugin. That way, when you add citation, the zotero prompt will appear.

Looking for a budget upgrade from a T470s.

yeah for sure! Honestly, my personal laptop right now is only one generation newer than T470, a Dell Latitude 7490. (And, I have a 5580 and a surface laptop 1 both with 7300U in them) I have a couple machines the same age/generation as the T470 and can say that even one generation forward (like to D

Kupio sam "refusbished" Dell 7490/i7-8650U/16GB Ram/256GB SSD/14"/W10 tamo negdje 09/2022 kceri za studiranje - ne zali se (odnosno, zalila se na neke neobjasnjene restarte ali na kraju ispalo software problem). Koristila ga je i za posao, sve OK. ...s druge strane, ja imam poslovni Dell 7420 (nezna

T460 Purchase

You should be able to get Dell Latitude 7490s with a quad-core 8th gen i5 (official windows11 support) with 16B of RAM and a 256 SSD, for a little less than $150. As an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/136813928904 32GB of RAM is nice but it won't make up for the performance you'll miss out of the

Minimum graphics actually look good?! Might be the way to go for low end PCs!

Hi, I hope this helps. I also have a low-end PC, a Dell Latitude 7490 (Intel Core i5 8th gen, and 12GB of RAM), and honestly, even on the lowest settings, the graphics look pretty good. My recommendation is that you change the game settings to "DirectX 12," since in DirectX 11 everything looks like

T480 or T14 or ... ?

Either should be fine. If the TrackPoint isn't a hard requirement you could also get away with a similar Dell Latitude (7490/7400) for cheaper. Or, step down to an E480/L480 or Latitude 5490/5400. I'm personally using a Latitude 7490 with i5-8250U, 16GB of RAM, and a 256-gig SSD for all my personal
