ThinkPad T440p

I have two FW13's and a £3k MacBook Pro. I am still happy to use the Lenovo T440p I got years ago for £200 (admittedly I replaced the screen, WiFI and CPU later on!). Have a wee think about taking maybe £400-£800 and seeing which Lenovo T-series you can get that meets your needs. I can still get a l

It certainly fits the lower end of your budget range and is still plenty usable today especially with Linux so I don't think you'd regret it. That is the oldest you'd want to go in my opinion. Your budget would probably allow for something up to a T480. You did say 'experimenting' and a T420 is one

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.

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. That seemed to be around when Intel started to heavily discourage laptop manfactureres from making medium performance laptops with upgradable M series CPUs in favour of thin and light laptops with Intel's U series ultrabook CPU

"Ivy Bridge (3rd Gen Intel) — last generation with easy CPU socketing (PGA) in this form factor" Fourth gen models (Haswell) like the L440/L540, T440p/T540p, W540/W541 and Y510p were the last of the socketed systems. "Best balanced: i7-3612QM or i7-3632QM — quad-core at 35W TDP, won't thermal thrott

There is no such thing as a ThinkPad Ideapad, just Lenovo Ideapad which is not a ThinkPad. Even my Lenovo ThinkPad T440p i5-4200M with 8GB was able to handle Fedora since 2015. Read my recommendation again.

To be honest, I'm more worried about how W11 will run than the VMs. I used to run VMs on my T410 around five years ago and it was mostly fine. If you're buying a new T470 for this, though, definitely get something quad-core at least, preferably six-core. A T440p can be had for $150 and then you can

Kalau untuk kerjaan yang disebutkan "browsing, Office, YouTube", ya masih relevan kalau memang itu budgetnya. Keuntungan beli laptop lawas lini business seperti Thinkpad adalah sejarah update BIOS nya yang panjang. T430 bios terakhir 2019, T440p 2021. Changelog nya banyak sekali dan penting, contoh.

Honestly i am only short on ram rn. Even i was not expecting this pc would be able to do it or not because at max this pc could uograde to only windows 8.1 even after ssd. But i installed tiny 11 (the strip down version of windows 11) it was also good but i wanted to switch to Linux just to explore
