Subject: Re: Picking a new laptop
I recommend Lenovo. I have been using Thinkpads for about 20 years.
Presently using an X61 and a T60, both of which are over 10 years old
and quite usable. The X61 just needs a new battery and runs F32 just
fine on an extension cord. Looking for a battery.
I have just installed F35 on the T60. Only problem area is audio, but I
have NO idea about pipewire. Yet. (A problem left for the student, so to
speak.) BTW, the T60 has all of the features of new machines, including
roughly comparable speed, but is only a T2600 dual core. First world
problems..
BTW, this T60 w 1450x1050 resolution screen, and 4G ram cost me the
princely sum of $50 Canadian. I may pay more than that to upgrade the ram!
Both with larger SSDs.
If you are looking for something newer,the T4x0S line of models are the
lighter models, running around 3 lbs or 1.4kg while still providing
great screens. These models are available used for very decent prices.
Personally I cannot stand touchpads. I am too used to the trackpoint.
