I have experience with Thinkpads as my mother owned a t400 that i ended up taking from her i installed arch Linux on it but it was really slow and had 4gb ram so i asked my mom for a new laptop she got me this not so great Asus Vivobook with a Ryzen 3 3250u. now that I'm older i wanna get a new laptop with decent performance and i really like the build and sturdiness of that old t400 so i was thinking of getting a Thinkpad again. I've been looking at models and the t480 and p52 and they seem like a nice blend between modern performance and that old build quality i don't wanna spend too much maximum $300. some recommendations on other models would also be great if you can:w

I have the following setup would like to know your opinion

1) Laptop: ThinkPad P53 2) Processor: i7 9850h 3) GPU: Quadro RTX 3000 (6GB VRAM) 4) RAM: 64GB (4x16GB 2666MHz DDR4) 5) SSD0: 1TB (Debian 13) 6) SSD1: 1TB (Windows 11) 7) SSD2: 2TB (Files) 8) Accessories: keyboard cover and lenovo mouse

Any suggestions?

Hi, I wanted to ask if it's possible to use a ThinkPad T480 with Full HD screen, Intel i5 8th Gen, 16 GB RAM, and the 96 Wh battery running lightweight Linux Mint XFCE for about 9 hours while doing schoolwork like creating documents, browsing occasionally, and importing and editing pictures, without needing to charge. Or what's the expenses battery life?(With newly upgraded battery's)

I will play Battlefield 6 Open Beta with this one! Ryzen 5 4600u with rtx 3060 Yep an oculink mod for my thinkpad e14 gen 2 amd

I've had numerous T series, W series, P series, going far back as the T60 all the way to the P52. All purchased brand new from Lenovo. I loved being able to swap batteries, hard drives, ram, WiFi card modules with the individual compartments. Now that ALL Lenovo laptops no longer have these features, I moved onto other manufacturers since they are better quality, looking, and also don't have these features. So Lenovo has lost their edge over others and a lifelong customer.

Suggestions for a reliable monitor. Basing my setup on an older Thinkpad so an older reliable monitor would be nice.

I want to buy a Thinkpad

there are two options that I can't decide on

Option 1:

T14 Gen 1

Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U

32GB RAM / 256GB SSD (96% health, 40 hours, 6tb)

display: 250 nits, 45% NTSC display
battery: 140 cycles/ wear 0%

Option 2:

T14 Gen 1

Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U

16GB RAM(soldered) / 512GB SSD (96% health, 5000 hours, 53tb)

display: touch 500 nits, 100% SRGB
battery: 486cycles/ wear 18%

the first option is also like new from the outside, the second option has scuffs

Help me decide

a laptop on ryzen 7 is 50 dollars more expensive

My typical tasks:

5 Google Chrome browsers (Gmail in each)

1 browser with 10–15 tabs (Google Sheets, YouTube, etc.)

WhatsApp, Slack

Visual Studio Code

Possibly very light video editing or animation in DaVinci or After Effects in the future (not a priority yet)
Sometimes some games: cs go, pubg mobile

Just got this Lenovo Thinkpad T440p weeks ago and i’m thinking of making a setup for it, what would be an investment for a awesome setup. Specs: i7 4900MQ, 16gb ddr3, 500gb sata ssd, 1600x900 TN display. (components would be nice too)

Have used a few ThinkPad before. But now I'm looking for the right one for me.

• I want something that's able to have plenty of ram put in
• potential for storage expansion
• plenty of keyboard options

Honestly. Just the most upgradable model, older and boxy is good too as I prefer the feel.

Cheeers

Help me build a Thinkpadstein :) It's my dream

Hi, I own a Thinkpad t14 gen 2

ryzen 5 5gen (6/12)

32GB RAM dual channel

1TB SSD NVME

The display is currently full HD IPS matte 400 NIT low power.

Is it possible to replace the display with an IPS 120Hz one? I definitely don't want OLED technology. And brightness: I wouldn't want to go below 400 Nits.

I don't know anything about this.

What kind of ribbon cable and matrix does it need? Will it work at all?

And what about battery life then? Because it's a big jump - from 60Hz (with low power technology) to 120Hz without low power.

Because the performance of Vega and the CPU at 120Hz is enough, right?

In my setup, I have a problem that points to a possible factory error, but I am looking for second opinions based on this problem.

When I start the computer in arch linux, the batteries work and I can use the computer until they are completely discharged, however this does not happen when I log in windows 11, since if the charge of the two batteries is full, it starts without problems, but if the computer has less than 59% of the battery in general, it shuts down as soon as it reaches that threshold, but if I try to use the computer connected to the current, it starts without problems.

Also if I am charging the dedicated graphics while on battery power, it also shuts down suddenly.

Note: I already checked the health and drivers of the batteries.
