I saw this guy talking about that thinkpad can offer you many upgradable parts in older models are he fr?

Why don’t you look into the X1 Carbon Gen 6. I got one just yesterday, and it’s fantastic.

Users with "old thinkpads" what are they capable of?

Well, I have X1 Carbon Gen 6, it is almost a daily driver, as I have some days using it all the time, and some days using my MBA. I bought a new battery for X1, and now it says - 73% - 9 hours left (Power mode - better performance). It has i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz and 16 GB of RAM. The OS is Windows 1

Beginner question about hardware for OpenBSD

My advice: Grab a $150-$200 Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 6 or newer, throw KDE-Plasma on it and see for yourself why we love it.

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

X1 Carbon Gen 6 (i7 8650U, 16 GB, 1440p), no issues with anything, everything works great (as instant to open lighter apps and do normal stuff, 3-4 seconds to launch Photoshop or Premiere Pro for the first time). Using it for work (image and photo editing, graphic and print design with heavy multi-l

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

Laptop for middle school

Anything with 4 cores, 16 GB of ram and an SSD will be more than enough for middle school I'd look for: a T440p if you want to thinker around, replace CPU and so on an X1 carbon gen 6 or newer if you want something extremely light a T14 gen 1 or gen 2 with AMD CPU if you want a decently powerful and

Does anyone else prefer the classic silver ThinkPad logo compared to the new sunken in black logo?

The stealth logo on the ThinkPad X1 carbon gen 6 (both on the keyboard deck and on the lid) looks subtle yet really premium and expensive in the "if you know - you know" kind of way.

The T14s keyboard kind of sucks

i feel you on that keyboard change. the t14s uses a different mechanism with 1.5mm travel vs 1.8mm on the t480. if you keep the laptop for the speed and weight, a keychron k3 low profile mechanical sits right on top and gives you that clicky feel. or look for a used x1 carbon gen 6 which kept the ol
