T480s

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.

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

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

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

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

Gw beli dari Shopi bulan September 2025 kemarin. T480s i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Cuman udah abis stoknya, gak jualan lagi thinkpad (terakhir T490) Kayak yg dibilang lain2 di sini bener. Chargernya KW. Baru 4 bulan pemakaian rusak, alhasil beli dari sebuah toko komputer di Jatim scr online akhirnya da

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

This unfortunately is normal for these. T490s was not a good design. Lenovo thinned the chassis and choose a smaller cooling system compared with the predecessor T480s that's not up to the task of adequately cooling the 25W sustained thermal power your CPU is allowed to produce under load. T490s sto
