Kauft und bezahlt ihr eure Arbeitsgeräte (Laptop, PC, Tablet etc.) selbst?

Selbst wenn mir die Schule einen geben würde würde ich mein Privatgerät verwenden. Ich will kontrolle über meine Daten. Und freie Wahl beim Gerät. Z.B. bin ich sehr pingelig beim Display und der generellen Stabilität (stabile Basis, stabiler Deckel, top Schaniere). Die meisten Schullaptops sind gena

Slim Tip or USB-C?

I went with the X390 Yoga cause of the USB-C I love the universal charging and carrying a similar charger. I have gone through multiple system boards though as a result of the plug being soldered on, but I'd don't think I'd go back to the slip tip. Lenovo has finally addressed the USB-C ports and ma

Dal da menjam moj trenutni laptop?

Ako se već muči sa par tabova na YouTube-u, to je znak da je vreme za zamenu - tu baterija više ne rešava problem. Ako već gledaš ThinkPad X seriju, našao sam ti baš dobre opcije koje imaju smisla da uzmeš. Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 (Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U, 16GB, 512GB) - 350€ https://www.kupujemprodajem

For how much longer will the T480 be a viable option?

I assume the model you're looking at has an 8th gen CPU. I have a ThinkPad X390 with an i5-8365U and 16 GB of RAM (soldered, unfortunately), and it's been great. It's snappy and handles everything I need as a computer science student — web browsing, Python and R programming, Linux scripting, etc. I'

Looking for a ThinkPad that is ideal for travel for around £200

For that price (even w/o storage), this will be a decent (or more than decent) deal in most countries' market. (Adds): If you want thinkpad with upgradable RAM, T14 is probably to go. T14 is a standard (high quality) 14 inch thinkpad line, and its gen2 (2021) was the last gen of the traditional desi

Switched from an X280 to a T14 Gen 2

Unfortunately, the X13, X390, and Yoga all seem to only come with soldered RAM.. Yes, the X13 Gen 1 could be considered a downgrade in some ways, but it still has a better screen than many of the later models and retains that classic ThinkPad feel. (The Z13 is an exception - it has an exceptionally

Linux OS for Thinkpad X390, is it advisable?

Don't waste your time with latitudes. They're better than most consumer trash, but they're still noticeably behind ThinkPads. Find and buy whatever latest ThinkPad your money can afford, preferably T, P or X. Z's are kinda ok too, but ppl complain about the keyboards. E's and L's are plasticky, heav

Looking to move to a Thinkpad, wondering what would fit my needs.

tl;dr: 16 or more GB RAM model of X13 (13.3 inch) or T14s (14 inch) gen1 AMD would be the closest one that meet your criteria. Also are there any other Thinkpads similar to the x1, maybe ones that are a little cheaper X13 (Intel/ AMD) or T14s (Intel/ AMD) series were made of either aluminium or magn

X230 successor?

Hmm. To the extent possible I tend to recommend quad-core, 16gb of ram and an SSD as a baseline these days. There are actually X280s with 16GB of ram for under $200, as an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/366251601380 My Dell comparable was gonna be https://www.ebay.com/itm/236634809523 (1x sodimm

Looking for a sleek laptop or tablet that's more mobile than my T480

You could also go with older generations, which would be (going backwards) x390/395, x280, or even x270 (the last one has 2 batteries and is probably close to 4h or maybe slightly above). Would not recommend going older than x270. In fact x270 will not run Win11 without messing with Rufus, x280 is t
