ThinkPad P51

I agree that future-proofing is dumb, but unless you're using the device for work purposes, you will likely not be replacing it within 5-7 years. In my anecdotal experience, people keep personal laptops and computers for much longer. My wife and I are still using an early 2013 Retina MacBook Pro as

HDMI is not a priority output by default. Thus you won't see the image there in a regular linux boot.If there is no image then by the probability rate:1 - display is dead2 - display connection is dead (cable)3 - display video output circuit is dead. I believe, this is something that Lenovo did on pu

Ich würde da Richtung gebrauchte Thinkpad P- oder W-Serie schauen. Das sollte für die Hälfte machbar sein, wenn du nicht gerade die Bleeding-Edge Version brauchst.

I had a Lenovo P51 laptop (a big desktop replacement) with those power specs. Smallish powerbanks like 50w wouldn't work unless the machine was off or sleeping, and even then marginally. Your 140w unit should be fine but I would be more comfortable knowing that the laptop is relatively modern and ca

Good selection here! I've used most of them at some point. You aren't missing much with Windows 3.x! I loved it when I first used it in High School but so much has changed - looking back - it's rough! Swore off Apple after my Macbook Pro (2008) unibody (OSX) died due to poor quality in build (Louis

I should have added. Picked up a lovely used Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Gen 3 Tablet that was probably going to be under powered to run Win11. And now it has a new life under NixOs. I've mostly ported my install from my ThinkPad P51 and am slowly experimenting with touch specifics. But I was amazed at how q

I'm assuming this is a NVIDIA Quadro M1200 is a 2017-era mid-range mobile workstation graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture (GM107), designed for CAD and 3D applications. It features 4GB GDDR5 VRAM, 640 CUDA cores, and a 45W TDP, making it comparable to a GTX 960M. It is commonly found in

If you had a good laptop before you surly know that a good laptop will cost a lot and if you buy a new one it will cost a lot, a good laptop less than €1600 you will not find. I remember when my mother bought me a Commodore vic20 ,was her month salary. Several years ago I bought a Lenovo P51 Xeon an

A USB port that doesn't shut off on stupid crap. Can't even get my Flir files off using my 16 because it "overloads" the port and shuts everyone of them off but works fine on the old Lenovo P51 and my desktop computer

It's the same for older one too, people would tell you that model like the X60/61 or T60/61 are old and available and so you can get them cheap, but at least in Europe, looking to eBay, all the X61 i see, average around 300/400 Euro, and not in pristine condition. On the other hand, considering Leno
