Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability

It basically solves the issue of not having less efficient sodimm memory while also not soldering the memory to the motherboard close to the CPU. The memory comes in these removable modules that have contact points on the bottom and so they just sit on the motherboard and get screwed down. It's almo

Is lpcamm2 gonna survive if crucial stops exsisting?

Lenovo is using lpcamm2 on thinkpad t14 gen 7, thinkpad p1 gen 8, thinkpad t1g gen 8. I think they will continue production, and hopefully it becomes more and more mainstream.

P1 Gen 9 announced!

FWIW, I actually quite dig the P1's overall design, but I'm personally really not a fan of the keyboard direction as of late. This is maybe a nitpick, but the new font and lower-case on everything besides the core letters reminds me of what I remember with HP, and I just don't think it looks good on

ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 Arrived!

I'm a huge fan of the center keyboard 16" ThinkPads. Hence my picking of the P1. These newer models and the T1G look so nice. I'm wondering why Lenovo dropped the 1600p 165hz display in g8. 1200p at 16" feels good, and I have one 16" with it, but content density isn't as good.

What is generally agreed upon to be the "best" ThinkPad?

The OP asks about "longevity, performance and customization" specifically these 3.So, performance = Pcustomization + longevity = full-sized P (not ultra slim models like P1, which is X1 rebranded as P)performance + customization + longevity = P16 Also, it should be noted that the closer the design i

EU/IT Linux Laptop, what to buy?

Skip all the hype brands. Durable laptops with good Linux support are made by only 3 companies: Dell, Lenovo and HP. Discard all other options. Imo the absolute best laptop you can buy right now is the Dell Pro Max 16 Premium. See this video. Skip the GPU as always unless you really need it. Worthy

I want Linux to work, really I do

rage inducing bugs. This. I recently tried Ubuntu on my Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2. On paper, the perfect Linux device: Intel Coffee Lake Refresh, not to new not too old (good 5 years), workstation grade. Turns out the touchpad is unusable due to a bug that's known since years, making the scroll speed

Can we just talk about what a masterclass in laptop design this is?

For me, the number keypad is useless and the touchpad not being centered is an instant no. Having said that, I am a Lenovo fan and I rock my P1 Gen 7 hard, though I wish it had physical mouse buttons instead of the virtual ones.

P1 Gen8

I personally want a T1G which is a P1 with consumer graphics. Just the idea of a gaming capable ThinkPad really does it for me. I have an X1E gen 2 with a 1650 which does the trick for now. But I do want something newer eventually. Possibly will look to buy at the end of next year when this year's m

Should I get a Macbook Neo or a used thinkpad?

I have both a P1 Gen 7 and a MacBook Pro and as much as I love the P1 Gen 7, it sounds like a jet engine half the time, and the battery dies in about two hours. The MacBook Pro is silent and lasts all day and you just can't ignore that. I really hate it because I don't love Apple. I really love my T
