Thinkpad é tudo isso mesmo?

Eu uso o ThinkPad t14 gen 3, já tive o t480, t490, e14. Sim, é tudo isso e muito superior as porcarias vendidas de asus, dell, acer.

i summon all the mighty T480 programmers

Depends on your needs. I'd go for the one with the bigger battery and upgrade the SSD by myself. If you want to do AI stuff on the ThinkPad itself: don't. Just offload that to your desktop. Just SSH into it. For frontend development you don't need much. You need VScode, a browser and some CLI tools

Why are Lenovo ThinkPads so highly praised?

There was a really good post about this a couple weeks ago, that I fully recommend, I agree with every single word of it and my only single criticism is that the author didn't take a chance to add that what is true of ThinkPads is also true of every other corporate-aimed type of ocmputer. The Myth o

Is buying a used Thinkpad even worth it anymore?

If you just want a lightweight good battery laptop, the ThinkPad has never been the solution. Batteries have never been a ThinkPad strong point.

A blog post about Thinkpad Economics

Looks great! I've been thinking a lot about this kind of thig as I've been answering questions people ask about which thinkpad to buy and what the differences are between them and I think you touch on a really important misunderstanding. ThinkPads (and the other ExcelBox desktop and laptop models fr

Decommissioning a batch of ThinkPads. Which ones should I save from the "discard" pile?

Oh.Oh yes! The corps reward your loyalty with glamorous ThinkPads! 470p is a beast. A gem! And, a hidden one! Take a P51. Too! Slap a Xeon and some PT7950. Magic happens! You can get T480 for $100 (and that's a max for what it's worth), so you can get both W530 and P51. And do some cool projects! An

Please recommend a Budget Laptop

Ask someone from abroad for a used ThinkPad T480. Used ones are very affordable, typically around £160 in the UK. Upgradeable SSD and Ram.

Just join the club with a T480s

Welcome to the cult , the T480s is a sweet laptop , something different that the T480 that everybody else gets. I was able to drop a 32gb sodimm in mine , so getting more ram should be physically easy , just stupid pricing right now. Enjoy your ThinkPad!!

Need a new computer at the office

basically any moderrn system will meet these requirements. With that being said, my top recommendation for a cheap laptop (that will meet these requirements) is a used/refurb Lenovo ThinkPad T480.
