It offers two NVME slots that can support two very fast 2T SSDs. My ThinkPad P72 has those and 64GB of ECC memory. It can be ordered with an internal SATA hard drive if you really want "spinning rust." The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to disable the touchpad -- I'm a mouse guy.
I love my old W520 Thinkpad. But I want to replace my workstations, with two spinning plates of rust inside each one.
Insofar as X, if you want to disable the infernal click-to-tap, just create the following file:
[mrsam@thinkpad ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-disable-taps.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "tap-by-default" MatchIsTouchpad "on" Option "TapButton1" "0" EndSection This gets rid of the biggest annoyance, when it comes to touchpads.
