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.

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.

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

Goodmorning everyone, I want to run a Linux flavor on my older amd laptops (2019) but I want something that looks like windows 7 or similar.

It's not as repairable as older models due to the CPU being soldered (but that's on Intel, not Lenovo). With that said, it's still pretty repairable and upgradable. On my laptop, I've upgraded the RAM to 64GB (did this before RAM prices got stupid), and I've got three hard drives in it. I need to ge
