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

Milyen gamer laptopot ajánlotok, ami munkához is jó?
Fordítva gondolkodj, milyen workstation van, amin lehet gamelni. Lenovo P szériát nézegesd ha nem gond neked a 60Hz-es kijelző, Én egy P50-et nyúztam egészen 2023-ig, amikor ellopták a vonaton a bidambidamok amikor nem figyeltem.

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

W550s
u/broncofan303, quite nice laptop you got there! Back in the day, when those were new, I was tempted to get one of those... those W Series Laptops were advertised as the 'Workstation' replacement as the old IBM Gen of 770 Series Laptops were marketed years prior. Unlike the 770 series, where there w

Ditching Windows 11 for a Linux distro. Need tips, advice, heads-up, and direction as a complete Linux novice.
Thanks for that. I purposely didn't mention it, but the attraction for me is how snappy it felt when I tried it. I'm also a user of older computers (a Lenovo P50 and an i5 MacBook Air) so older hardware support is also a draw. The P50 is still beefy enough, but the Apple is starting to struggle with

Switch to linux
This probably isn't the best venue for this, might want to check a subreddit specifically for Linux or Linux_gaming. For what it's worth, Stalcraft and War Thunder have a Gold rating on ProtonDB. I would strongly suggest considering Linux Mint as it's the most straightforward out of the box, and it

I need help
Most probably yes. Once laptops start doing glitches after the BIOS update, it is almost always a death sentence. Rolling back BIOS wont, help cause some chips at the motherboard are being flashed together with the main BIOS and they won't go back. It is the planned obsolescence over the reliable ha

Thinkpad p50 battery life
A Xeon-equipped workstation that draws 100W under load will never get good battery life, especially if factoring in battery degradation that's inevitable on a eight-year-old system. Read the contemporary notebookcheck review for some pretty accurate data on what to expect. Be aware that the machine

Looking to buy thinkpad P50, would it worth it?
For around ₹22,000 with those specs (i7-6820HQ, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Quadro M2000M), the ThinkPad P50 is still a capable machine in 2025, especially for programming and older game emulation. It should handle your computer science work and Android Studio without much trouble, as long as you're not ru
