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

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.

I think it's down to influencer video content. There's loads of people out there claiming the T480 is legendarily good and even explicitly that it's outright better than successors. Almost all of the T480's actual benefits as a computer exist solely in 2017 and in people's memories. The batteries wi

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

Don’t feel bad, that’s reality. I was looking for one with an i7, but prices didn’t make sense, almost $300. The T480 is overrated, you can get more powerful ThinkPads using Ryzen CPUs for less.
