ThinkPad T480

Is there a ThinkPad sub where T480 worship from brand new accounts is outright banned?

If only they were always this competent. This must be a mistake on their part. I assume they fire their engineers if they accidentally make good products, which is how we no longer have the likes of the ThinkPad T480 or old Lenovo Legions that didn't randomly die.

People are saying Nvidia + Wayland is a solved problem, but I still regularly experience crashes and performance issues on my ThinkPad t480 with an mx150 discrete GPU when using Wayland. I know it's old hardware and I should upgrade, but can't afford to with the current market. I'll be moving away f

The idea that the t480 is the "last great ThinkPad" is bonkers The t490 was just as well built but thinner, the downside was only 1 sodimm slot and only the (much bigger) internal battery. They kept using pretty much the same parts between the t490, t14, and t14 Gen 2. If you really want both sodimm

T14 is newer and I'd go that direction if you can afford it. The T480 is on the inner edge of 9 years old and T490 is barely any better at the inner edge of 8 years old. (Although as mentioned they're arguably probably fine for office usage and light video work. my primary personal computer is a Lat

I have this exact one so i assume my words will be of help, first to answer your question, it flies with fedora Now to the more important topic, it's a peice of junk, it WILL break, not linux, the laptop's physical frame, more specifically the hinge, it's not a matter of if it will break, it's a mat

Hi this is my two cents no one asked for. If you end up going for a ThinkPad and you can spend up to $800 DON'T get a t480, the point of a t480 is that it's cheap and repairable so you can get it for even cheaper with some things missing/broken and fix it for pennies, if you have the money and want

Funny how this post finally brings something interesting into this musty sub and yet it got almost no response – while generic crap like T480 showoff or ThinkPad with some pets around gets so much attention.

You avoided some t480 USBc power port issues. The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 suffered from a flawed early Thunderbolt firmware and controller design that could corrupt itself and permanently disable USB-C charging, creating a systemic, not merely mechanical, failure mode. By contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad

i have one its decent, its not like the t480 though lenovo ditched magnesium chassis in favor of plastic chassis with magnesium frame. but i wouldn't get a t480 as the cpu cant do much beyond basic use.
