thinkpad

I am looking to get a secondhand ThinkPad as my secondary laptop. Im currently undecided between X1 yoga g3, or x280....

I recently purchased a 2nd hand Thinkpad X1 Carbon with i7-7600U, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD and a 1440p screen. I installed EndeavorOS on it and I noticed, in plasma 6, that the scroll in Firefox is a bit sluggish; after I installed hyprland and, with a lot of effect active like blur, it does feel sluggish too. Is that normal for...

I recently bought a Lenovo L440 Thinkpad. Keyboard backlit and touch pointer arent working. Have installed Linux Mint. Can anyone help?

Tried using Google Search for exact keyword match, and so far, it only points out to the page in India. There’s still no review available online, which is a bummer. What’s funny is that their price is almost the same as the previous generation E14 Gen 5 and E16 Gen 1 laptops, I would argue that they’re even more cheaper,...

I’m waiting to buy the AMD Phoenix/HawkPoint variant of Thinkpad E14 G6 and E16 G2....

I’m pretty new to using linux as a desktop solution (I use it for servers but have been working on switching over for desktop). I recently installed NixOS on my P14S Gen 2 and have found that while my backlight works inside the OS, I have no backlight in UEFI and GRUB....

The L series will still be using the Ryzen 7030 series of processors, just like the last year. While I’m happy that they have embraced the spirit of Thinkpad again, I’m really disappointed by the machine using outdated Zen3 processors.

Managed to get hold of an E14 for £250 about this time last year and it has quickly become a favourite of mine for lugging about and twiddling with....

So I’m looking for ThinkPad alternatives, so far I’ve see repairable laptops like the Framework laptop and the Tuxedo linux laptops. What other choices do I have if I want a tough, reliable, and utilitarian computer?

Will it respect the 2024 T-series upgradability choices? What will be the expected price range?

Hi ThinkPad community, I just wanted to share this amazing amazing thing that brigthened my day. I hope this feel-good story also brightens your day too...

We had some heavy rain yesterday and my bag (containing my T400) got soaked. I tried to turn it on just now, and it appeared to boot at first....

I’m on the fence about buying a new 3rd-party battery for my Thinkpad T480 as the current external 61 battery is only yielding ~3 hours on normal use (90℅ capacity, so still good given I bought the laptop used) and there’s no internal one on mine....

Anyone managed to make it work? If I assign a core to the Windows VM, it’s constantly at 100% even when idle. Obviously I expected crappy performance but I was hoping that it would at least work. It did pretty well on bare metal....

Hey everyone. A while ago I ordered a keyboard from ebay for my T480, but I failed to notice that the one I got was for the T480s, therefore not compatible with my laptop. In the process of checking it out I lifted one of the connecting tape thingys (idk what theyre called) and some of the black plastic covering on the back of...

I’m experiencing a beep code error on my ThinkPad T440p....

Does anyone have a copy of the original Windows 7 recovery media for the X1 Carbon Gen 2? I can find gen 1, and most other later gens. But not this machine. Currently it’s running it’s factory install, but it’s horrendously slow and I’m not fully sure why. And sadly the built in create recovery media option says...

I have a BASE model T14 gen 1 (1366x768 screen, lowest end i5, base ssd etc) and I was wanting to eek out a bit more performance out of this machine. It’s quite thermally constrained with longer loads despite being the base model, and it’s fan seems to barely move any air at all....

My webcam does not work. I’m sure it’s a hardware issue as it persists in windows and Linux. I already reseated the camera and it still happpens....

Sorry for a dumb title. I’m considering two versions of Thinkpad Z13 - one with 3k OLED and another with FHD IPS panel. The first one has obviously a better display quality and gamut range but version with IPS will provide more battery life....

What is a good source/seller for the EU? The nipple included with my qwerty replacement board for a T480 won’t last much longer… The original one from the qwertz board is lost in space. Any recomendation?...

I currently have a 128 SSD on my computer, but I just bought a new 512GB SSD, and I’ve already installed a temp linux distro but my computer doesn’t boot it, it send me to the screen that you see in the pictures. I don’t know what’s the problem, and I already explored the entirety of the BIOS to see what was going on....

I just bought a used “faulty” T430....

Any Thinkpad user here using their Firewire port? What would you use it for? I read that we can make ad-hoc connection between two computers.

I’m about to replace my T470s and am leaning towards a T14s AMD G4 with Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U and IPS panel....
