Buying help

I graduated w/ Mech E BS using a $600 lenovo laptop for 90% of my schooling. Solidworks prolly the most "intensive" software they'll encounter, but that's only maybe necessary for one project a semester. Only upgraded to a fancy thinkpad p15 after landing an internship and making some money. Think O

FYI - lenovo let's you configure with Fedora and Ubuntu

Based lenovo, they still make questionable decisions here and there, and their budget and consumer stuff can be really bad, but their top of the line thinkpads will always be great. I was looking recently at their newer stuff, specifically the p15 and p16 and they're really good, especially the newe

Hjælp til valg af bærbar

Et konkret bud kunne være denne ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 med en RTX A3000 GPU: https://prelovedelectronics.dk/products/lenovo-thinkpad-p15-gen-2-i7-32

Need help getting a laptop

Get a used Lenovo p15 or p16. 3-4 years old and barely any difference from their current best computer for design. About 800-1200 depending on setup vs 5000 for current model

why should i buy a framework 16 over a thinkpad p1/p16

I bricked my main board but it wasn’t framework’s fault. It was mine due to some poorly planned experimenting. Ordered a new one with my tax refund and had it installed in under an hour which was bonkers. Moved the old mainboard to the backlog of electronics to repair. It replaced an older P15 deskt

Advice needed

I reckon it just wasn't put together properly. If you're comfortable with it, I would take it apart to remove the keyboard bezel, then put it back together. See the service guide: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/p15_t15g_gen1_hmm_en.pdf And consult "1080 Keyboard bezel assembly" on page 7

Legjobb felület PC alkatrészek eladására?

Legutóbb én is egy használt Lenovo P15-öt. Eladó szerint látszik rajta a használat, de szerintem egy zsír új terméket adott el nekem, mert a bekapcsológombon még a védőfólia is rajta van. 😃 Legjobb hely és nem csak PC alkatrészeket szoktam már ott venni. 😃
