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

Really Looking to move to an AMD Thinkpad but don't love the configurations

Lenovo has made such a model line with the Z13 and Z16, which were high-end AMD models. Unfortunately, they did not sell well, so Lenovo discontinued them. Intel is paying a lot of money to support Lenovo in the development of the X1/P1 line, so naturally, these models are Intel exclusive. AMD did t

Not liking the Thinkpad workstation!

Is this true?

If you are lucky everything works. If not everything breaks with a major update. I didn't have issues on my old Lenovo t460 , but my p1 breaks after each update. Nothing major, but without chatgpt it would be hard

Dell to Lenovo?

I am going to write you my 6 year experience with lenovo laptops and docking stations. We use P1 as a power laptop, and currently T16 as a light laptops. Everything was fine until cca. 2021 then the problems started with the F**** docking stations. Instead of the old ones where the laptop would lay

Switched from Fujitsu to a Lenovo P1, First Week Impressions

my OLED display is defective but while I've had it here for almost 2 months evaluating it, I found they forgot to remove the film from the thermal pad on the factory installed NVMe. My touchpad doesn't scroll like every other laptop at the store today including my Thinkpad P1 Gen 2, so its also most
