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.

Which T14 should I get?
Basic desktop usage is gonna be "fine" on anything with four cores, 16gb of ram or better, SSD or better, intel 8th gen and AMD ryzen 2nd or newer and with supported graphics. That line applies to both windows 11 (close to those are the official requirements) and linux. All "T14" models are newer th

Odabir laptopa
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

Can’t see the forest through the trees: refurbed laptop buy advice
We're on an extremely long plateau right now. Windows 11 (with no mods other than allowing a local account, using Rufus) runs basically fine on any hardware it officially supports so long as you have 16+GB of RAM (ideally for multitasking especially) and an SSD. (It also runs fine on some older hard

Would you suggest any Distro which boots up fast?
Let's see… In my hopefully humble opinion, you are way too impatient. Half a minute to boot up your system is nothing to be concerned or angry about. My current private laptop is a Dell Latitude 7490 with a 500GB SATA SSD. It boots from power-on to the KDE Neon desktop in about 70 seconds, and that

Looking for hardware to learn linux on
I never buy new laptops and I am always on the lookout for a system that will run Linux. I could have bought a T480 from ebay, but at the time I was in the market I was looking locally. I picked up a used Latitude 7490 I5, replaced the battery and it has been fine for me. Later I stumbled on a Latit

Reemplazo para notebook por renovación
La latitude 7490 es particularmente una buena máquina. Será interesante que cosa vas a elegir para reemplazarle, considerando que Dell funciona excelente con Fedora y linux en general, al menos en dell a mi me funciona la hibernación en linux y el sensor detecta todo, hasta los rpm.
