ThinkPad: Designed for Performance

Some keyboards don't work with some buttons/trackpoints, I think. I have the same problem with my W541 when I recently replaced the keyboard.

bananaw, in This Lenovo ThinkPad is so close to being the perfect ultraportable laptop

Rocking an x1 nano 1st gen here and it’s the perfect ultra portable laptop. I slapped Linux on it immediately and I love the damn thing. Zero complaints from me! If I wanted a laptop that I could upgrade, etc like other fan favorite thinkpads, I wouldn’t have got a nano. The nano is perfect for web browsing, watching some videos and some text editing (of course I use vim. Im pretty much a walking stereotype).

Would highly recommend a used 1st gen if you don’t want to drop top dollar for the latest edition!

That's my main machine as well. Works incredibly well with Fedora Workstation. It's RHEL-certified even.

mouseless, in Anyone have a dock for their T480/T480s?

I have an x270, which isn't exactly what you're asking about, but IMO...

its super convinient and I love having it. it's nice not fiddling with cables, and the bonus ports are nice for when you need them. I think my only "complaint" is that lining it up for docking takes some practice, but you get the hang of it over time, it's not that bad. Also be careful if you want to get it for multi monitor stuff- there's a science behind which combinations will work at the same time, apparently.

There are multiple docks. Which one are you referring to?

No worries. I think it's a pretty solid docking station. It's supported by modern Linux too. I've never personally owned one, but everything I've read about them is positive. If you can get one for the right price, I don't see why not.

I want this, but at $1,400 I'll wait for a sale or something.

sentient_loom,

They have sales all the time, but you can also just wait 2 years and get it cheaper on eBay

They also do a ton of corporate discounts. Check with your company's benefits provider to determine if they do a Lenovo discount. Mine does. Couple that with a good sale, and you'll get a ton of money off.
