Juiced back up

My coworker is totally in on the bambu train. He bought a P1S, sold it because he wanted the shiny stuff of the x1 carbon. 4 month later sold the x1c to buy the H2D and now has sold the H2D to buy a H2C, not even half a year later. That would drive me nuts.

Personal laptop

I feel like a Macbook Air is excellent value for money at that price point. If you want a good ThinkPad (say X1 carbon) you'll probably need to pay more. But maybe do the research and ask a question based on exact models you can get at that price point locally.

X9 vs X1 Carbon - Pricing

I'd go for T14, maybe t14s or X9 - the X1 Carbon always was "expensive, but cool and slow", it was never about being a good deal I also hate to say it, but if you are not overly attached windows/linux, just get a macbook. Even refurbished M4 Pro or something like that will be miles ahead in terms of

X1 nano or others?

Nano are rare and overpriced, at least here in europe.You can go for a "recent" X13 for the small form factor, or even X1 Carbon, it's pricey but if you're considering Framework 13 pro ...If you have budget and don't mind waiting T14 gen 7 intel looks very promising with everything replaceable, pant

MacBook Air M1 is the best purchase I have ever made

The X1 Carbons and T series feel nice (especially recent ones) but they're not a solid piece of metal so they're always going to have some creak compared to a MacBook. But the hinges are very solid and the keyboard praise is real. There are a lot of other compromises though compared to a MacBook. Wi

Prehod na Apple (mac)?

Recimo Macbook Air je 1200€ z M5 procesorjem, 512G SSD in 16G RAM-a. Kaj realno dobiš boljšega za ta denar, in da zraven laufa baterija 10+ ur? Jaz ne najdem. Gledam Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen13, 3000+€, kar je objektivno dražje kot Macbook Pro M5 PRO. Pri MBP dobim več RAM-a in bolj optimiziran OS, ter

Unpopular opinion: E-series ThinkPads aren’t bad at all

E series are imo still pretty muchworse than T series in pretty much aspect except for plain hardware specs. Keyboard replacements on E Thinkpads are a nightmare for instance. They are consumer products after all.However I like the E series more than the L series. Latter are just plastic boxes, E se

What would be your ideal Thinkpad for the 35th anniversay next year?

Dunno, probably because of the fact I don't have hopes. After the community's disparaging of the ThinkPad 25 project at launch, Lenovo's response was a big fat "fuck you" with the 30th anniversary where they merely added RGB labels to an X1 Carbon, and I expect that to continue into 35. Unfortunatel
