What else can be uninstalled from a new Thinkpad?

don't forget improved battery life. I convinced oomf to switch to Linux on his gaming laptop; his battery lasts 4x longer now. later, I sold him one of my ThinkPads (a t480 with 72wh external battery), he's liking it so far (and running Linux on it, of course.)

Window 11 Pro performance issues with my T480. Time to switch to Linux.

If you really need Windows, I recommend Win10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Win11 LTSC 2024 also runs pretty well on my x270. But, Win10 LTSC runs great on all of my ThinkPads that range from a T420 to T480, s and non s. But, yeah, definitely install Linux as well.

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. Until around the T460 era, displays were a MARKED bad point - and even now, if you're looking for an outdoor usable display, ThinkPad panels are traditiona

Need help choosing a ThinkPad (after a really bad Legion experience)

If this is your first ThinkPad, go newer. The T480 is great for tinkering, but the T14 Gen 2 is the better daily driver for most people, faster RAM too. What you do gain is a massive generational leap in performance over any 8-10th gen Intel chip and you’ll feel it in every single task. Just open so

What did you buy your thinkpad for?

T480: My first ThinkPad. Started life in a tuning garage running ECU software before being converted into a fun Linux hobby machine. Eventually died due to a fried VRM. X1C6: Dedicated media machine for the bed. Undervolted, repasted, and fitted with a "new" original LG battery. It’s the cheapest wa
