ThinkPad T440p

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

"PC laptops"... Every PC laptop in my house is both repairable and upgradeable. Lenovo T440p from ~15 years ag A Lenovo T420 from even longer ago Framework 13 from circa 2022 Framework 13 from circa 2024 The only non-repairable, non-upgradeable computer in the house is my MacBook Pro

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

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

"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

De fato. Mas acaba sendo útil sim a parte de abrir 180 graus. Menos chance de quebrar abrindo tudo acidentalmente. Tenho T440p comprado e-bay bem mais véio que esse da foto. Quando eu era peão na gringa usava pra ver filme sentado na cama de um quarto de pensão. Caiu no chão aberto umas 2 vezes sem

Hate is justified for the clunkpad - not because it's a bad trackpad, but because it was Lenovo's first salvo of attacks on Trackpoint users - the people who's loyalty kept ThinkPad relevant in the era of ever more svelte Apple hardware knockoffs. The x9 is the 3rd salvo in the war against the nub.

I disagree. I think modern ThinkPads are also great. This community is a niche. We love the ThinkPad as not just a product, but also the heritage that it represents. For me, I got started on ThinkPads when my dad got an T61 in 2006. Although he doesn't have it anymore, that was my literal introducti

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

It depends on how important battery life is for you. You're not going to be able to get genuine Lenovo batteries for these laptops and aftermarket is a real crap shoot in terms of quality. That might not be true for a T480, but I don't own one and haven't looked. A T440p would be easier to mod, supp
