Highly recommended upgrade: Get a glass trackpad!
Yeah, when I had X280, I installed from X1 Carbon Gen 6, I think around 40 EUR upgrade, but so much better!

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

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. As said, M1 Air, or if you don't care about the mods, consider X1 Carbon Gen 6 - it had great keyboard (last gen with 1.8mm travel), but it's sleeker than T480, 1.1kg vs 1.6kg. Sam

Just join the club with a T480s
Now you gotta do the glass trackpad and screen upgrades! I’m running a t480s with 24gb ram, the X1 Yoga glass trackpad, a beautiful really bright and clear 2k screen from my old X1 Carbon Gen 6, and a 1TB SSD.

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
