ThinkPad T480

As a student, you might as well come back to MacBook - brand-new Neo is 850 CAD with education discount, or you should be able to find older M chip Air models under 1000 CAD second hand. You get Microsoft Office IIRC, good battery life, good bright screen (some ThinkPads model configs still somewhat

What makes the t480 the last good thinkpad People on the internet who lie to themselves, and the YouTube creators who monetize them. The T480 is the best choice for someone with a very limited budget, or someone who wants to try Linux without investing much into it. The cheapest modern ThinkPad is b

Its popularity has made the T480 one of the most overpriced used ThinkPad models. An 8 year old laptop with a basic, by current standards, 4 core Intel 8th Gen, with weak UHD graphics, and here with a very poor and dim 1366x768 display. If $209 is the price, no.

I don't understand how you come to the conclusion that Framework "took the lead" here and the iFixit collaboration has resulted in a far more modular machine, when the 8 year old T480 and all other Thinkpads before that already had all of that, they just needed more disassembling. Most Thinkpads hav

The primary thing in my opinion it to check if the Thunderbolt port is working and if its firmware has been upgraded to the latest version, otherwise you could find yourself with a brick in a short time. Many people seem not aware of this T480 huge problem that is also relevantly addressed on Lenovo

you are not supposed to run Windows 11 on T480 at all... and Windows 11 simply runs slow on every hardware anyways, my company laptop with Ultra 7 265H and 64G ram still struggles to even run M$ Teams smoothly if M$ office is something inevitable just get an M silicon mac and come back to ThinkPad +
