Might get a thinkpad. Need suggestions.

for durability and a sim card slot look at t480 or x1 carbon gen 6. both have a wwan slot where you put the sim. the t480 is tankier and easier to fix. for slime rancher you need at least an 8th gen intel with uhd 620 graphics - that runs it at low settings 30fps. grab a refurbished t480 on ebay wit

Are t480 really this good?

The keyboard's good, but it's not incredible - standalone mechanical keyboard (or HHKB) is far more enjoyable for many.

Ah.. that is a shame. Been with the Gen 10 for 3 years since buying it new. Has the i7-1280p proc. Overheats constantly, has cooked one battery already and the 2nd battery is also ready to be replaced as it holds about an hour charge. I've had the proc repasted 4 times under warranty. The KB is not

Lenovo Outlet choice

Like others said, I don’t really understand why you would spend 1774AUD on a refurbished latest spec if you can get a equally adequate machine from 2 generations earlier for literally a quarter of the price. For what you do with it, you will never feel the difference. For context: I work on new MacB

Modern alternatives to the 12" X series?

Well, I loved my X280, I even upgraded it, with glass touchpad, new battery, new HD screen, but it was i5 with 8 GB and it was slow. So I found a gem - X1 Carbon Gen 6. With new battery, thermal paste, it works like a charm, I still thinks it is portable enough. And I love to have WWAN inside, so se
