ThinkPad T440p

quick update, after removing the backplate and not seeing any burn marks, I decided to try the original lenovo charger (65W) and immediately I had the same problem and smoke came from the USB port. I'm quite sure there's a bent or faulty pin in the USB port and I will have to replace it, if that's p

Every few years there will be a change people don't like and and a new 'last true thinkpad' will be crowned. Idiots will overpay to get it despite better machines being available for the same if not cheaper price. When I started following this it was the T60 because the T61 that followed it was the

MacBook v Framework are definitely opposing philosophies. However, I will say that the build quality issues of the Framework 13 that were rightly called out in the early videos have been resolved. Chassis stiffness and hinges are improved, although honestly I have both an original and newer Framewor

This shift for Lenovo (and many other companies) came around 2013 or so.

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

u/Obvious_Snow125, we've had in our household a T440p, pretty much since new and since about 2016, the T440p has been and it up to this date, my better half's main device. We also have the thick battery for the laptop, though that battery is never been used -> our laptops run 100% of the time docked

Love the T440p more than any other thinkpad, literally the best model lenovo ever made. You should get at least a 65W charger for this thing to work properly, it has a power hungry CPU and it really needs it. Very unlikely to be a faulty motherboard.

Lenovo ThinkPads are always a good bet, something like the T440p that came out around 2013 would work. If you want more of the white/grey with more weird rounded shapes to make it distinctly early 2000’s, some companies like Panasonic continue to make old style laptops (like the SC-SV2 being a recen

u/Flat-Technician-3086, sorry to read what you've described in your post (first and foremost and I read through your comments as well). Just tried to charge my Lenovo t480s and once I plugged in the cable with a third party charger (I have successfully used it before) immediately the USB port starte

"Lenovo ThinkPad is a far cry from what it used to be which is why you see it a lot on reddit that users are buying refurbuhed older ThinkPads" That's not the main reason they're buying older ThinkPads. Reddit users are buying refurbished older ThinkPads because of pricing. Retail prices for new Thi
