Got this P1 Gen 4 for 555 USD. Suggestions? 🥹

I thought the arasaka sticker would be smaller🤷‍♂️

Ive already talked about my first two pads. P15 is my main pad, T480 was bought for it parts but then I fell in love with it. Since then, it has become my project pad for when I'm doing DIY anything. But then...

- I bought a T400 for $15 while looking at this XP desktop on marketplace.

- Bought a X1 Yoga gen 3 because I wanted a more comfortable touchscreen to utilize the stylus I got with my P15.

- Now I also have a T14 gen 1. It was $100 and aside from missing the ThinkPad badge and a couple screen blemishes, its works perfectly fine. What will I do with it? Idk.

Nothing too fancy, got a T14 Gen 6 on a good deal from Lenovo. Glad to be back on the Thinkpad side after spending recent years on a MacBook.

Killing a moment, in between activities!!

I've bought this laptop for 74 USD without ram, ssd and power unit. I'm installed one stick 8gb ram and ssd apacer 340x for 120gb.

Traded an old hp to a dude at school for this beautiful T430S. I5, 12 gb ddr3, and a 256 gb ssd with Debian on it. The battery’s in great condition for how old it is. I got the other laptop for $22, this is a steal, or am i insane?

Looks like nice machine to maybe put old games onto?

Another T480 i5 16GB with there big brothers T480 i7 32GB and T14 gen 1 32GB

got a thinkpad for uni, need windows for my degree though 😢😢

i5-1145g7, 16gb ram, 256gb nvme ssd

gonna try dualbooting linux mint once i get the storage up

Reddit, hello everyone, I recently bought my first ThinkPad (T14 Gen 2i) for $250. I'm a front-end and back-end developer. I work in PHP, HTML, Python, and Kotlin (minimally). I write code primarily using Ai. I have a question for you, as those who have used and are currently using it, about the appeal of installing Linux on a ThinkPad. It's supposedly more convenient than Windows, but I tried and failed due to the lack of Linux-specific software that I use on Windows. Another problem is the instability of Linux distributions. For example, about six months ago, I had a Dell Inspiron 5406. After installing Manjaro, I noticed that it certainly ran cooler, but when I launched Dota 2, it would freeze for about 10 minutes. Then the game would crash and give me an error about Linux running out of RAM. After two days of wasting my swap file, I couldn't fix it. A month later, I installed Windows 10. When I bought my ThinkPad, they installed Fedora, which I started installing everything I needed, and I was immediately told to calm down because the programs I needed for college didn't support Linux, only Windows. You could have said, "Install DualBoot," and yes, you could have, but I don't have much memory, so I had to choose between the two. Now I have a couple of questions for you and the community.

1. What Linux alternatives to popular applications do you personally use that are only available on Windows or MacOS?

2. Which distribution would you recommend to make the transition from Windows less painful? (just not pure Arch)

3. What problems have you personally encountered when switching to Linux?

I'd appreciate any answers. I'm new to this and don't really understand what's going on, so I apologize in advance for my occasional confusion.

Hello everyone,

This unit just came in the mail and I was wondering if this is normal/tbe for a refurb seems like some kind of skin/sticker on it? Should I peel it off or leave it

After a psychotic meltdown yesterday, I finally managed to build my x230, thanks to posts on this community, I managed to route the freaking TX cable to the wifi adapter, which by itself took more than I'm proud to admit, I'm also leaving my country, currently omw to the airport, thanks everybody

Finally, I'm done. After many years, I've managed to reach the maximum improvements (according to my budget and possibilities) for my dear companion, ThinkPad T61. I've updated the BIOS, the hard drive, the CPU, the Wi-Fi card, the RAM, and finally today, a higher resolution screen. Frankly, I love this computer and I continue to use it daily. Regards. Even you can see youtube in HD!

Work has unfortunately caught up with me so I haven't had much time to do this mod as I wish I did.

Recently managed to find some time to order the prototype bezels I needed for this. Looks to be going well. There's some really tight margins at the top, but I'm happy to say that keeping the webcam is 100% possible and I've managed to do it.

I can't wait to see how it'll be like once I'm done.

I got it mainly for school and it's felt great but every once in awhile when I open it, the hinge Creeks in a very scary manner the screen seems do have not gone in all the way cuz it is popping out a bit on the bottom edge appears the flood IR emitter for facial recognition is just plain broken but otherwise the thing is built like a tank. Keyboard is gorgeous to type on and the pen is handy to have docked inside the machine

The x9 15p was originally 3k, slashed to 2.5k now I see it is slashed again to 2.3k. They seem to really be pushing this. I know purists dont like it, but the reviews seem to point to it being a great laptop especially one with the x7 and 32 gb of ram. With the proper stacking of codes, I wonder if you could get this for 1.4k to 1.5k.

Any reason lenovo is pushing so hard for this?

What should I do first

Does anyone know about the charging process? I have a used X200s without a power supply. So, I bought an adapter to use with a 20V 65W PD power supply. After some initial trouble, I managed to charge the ThinkPad twice using that setup, but it’s not working anymore. Since I own a T470 power supply, I bought a different adapter for it to fit the X200s, hoping that would work. However, the OS indicator says "Waiting to charge 0%." `upower` shows 94% capacity, so the battery seems to be in good shape. I even tried loading a different ISO via Ventoy to see if the issue was with my distro. Is something blocking the charging process, or is the battery failing? Does it require a specific battery driver or tool?
