WTF is this trade in value counter

Honestly, I think it's fair. Hear me out. The P50 is a great laptop and obv worth way more than $16. That said, it's a nearly 10 year old laptop, what can Lenovo even do with it? They can sell 2-3 year old refurbished laptops but for something that's not even W11 compatible there's nothing they can

Any issues running Mint on a Thinkpad P50/P53 (advice please)

ThinkPads are generally considered to be goated in regards to Linux support. Mint should be perfectly fine because it's based on Ubuntu, and Canonical works with Lenovo to validate hardware compatibility. Don't know about specifically P50/P53, but they're usually good.

Xeon vs Ryzen for engineering

Based on Passmark’s CPU comparisons, the Ryzen 5850u absolutely wallops the Xeon 1535m. In general, the only real advantage of a Xeon system is the ability to support ECC memory, which most people don’t need, and potentially working with a couple more instruction sets than contemporary hardware, whi

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

Almost sounds like bait for the eternal Thinkpad argument lol....EscapeNo9728 summarizes things well. ThinkWiki also has a good graphic table of the history. And there have been a few Youtube vids on the topic as well. But to be honest, software can drive a lot of your decision making. The old geeze

Current state of my ideapad

Prime example of they don't make them like they used to, old Thinkpads would keep on trucking and the plastic/hinges would be completely fine. A relative of mine is giving me his Thinkpad p50, and the black paint is completely worn away in some spots but that thing is a survivor and still fully work

Need some space to grieve...

While we're openly grieving: I have two laptops provided by my employer. One is a Dell 5550 w/32 GB memory, and the other is an 8 yr old Lenovo P50 w/32 GB memory. The Dell is the one my employer insists remain on W11 and all the management goo. The Lenovo is what i use mostly which has Linuxmint 22

Got this W540 for $50!

Push both CPU & GPU and my W541 turns into oven lol. Thankfully from P50 onwards Lenovo started putting dual fans into their workstations.

The T480 was the best thing I've ever bought in my life. (no joke)

My p53 with the RTX 4000 is the best purchase I made. it repalced my p53 with the t2000, whcih replaced my p52 with the p1000, which replaced my p50. Having a numpad is a HUGE must for me when travelling. Moving my 128 GB RAM and my multiple m.2 ssd's between these made it worth it. Do I need 128 GB
