thinkpad

Got this T540p for free from work, it came with a dual-core i5-4200M, 8GB of RAM, the awful 1080p TN panel and the GT730M dGPU....

I recently bought a cheap crappy Sim card to try and get it to work on a ThinkPad x200. Has anyone here done this successfully before?...

Hi guys! I’ve seen something similar posted a while back on R***t but figured I’d ask here as well...

I’ve been hearing good things about Debian 12 and it was easier than ever to install on this old T61p....

I recently bought a refurbished x390. Got it and found the battery had one charge cycle on it. i5-8365U, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, 1920x1080 IPS. A very nice machine as a backup to the family travel x1 nano....

Hi, I’m a Reddit refugee, mostly lurker there but one comment I made was useful to a few people so I don’t want it lost if/when I delete all my reddit data. I’m really hoping Lemmy gets a lot more active users and more content so I’m trying to do my (small) part:...

I’m in love with this big guy :)...

My two best ThinkPads side by side!

I have a Gen 3 Thinkpad E14 (Ryzen 5 5500) with updated BIOS (8GB RAM and and 240 SSD) WIn10 PRO...

I originally got this ARM ThinkPad to install Linux onto it, but support for the Snapdragon 8cx processor, and other hardware hasn’t been supported until recently. I read a thread just the other day that it was now working on the Ubuntu Concept ISO built specifically for the X13s, and thought that I’d give it a try!...

Has anyone tried powering the x270 without batteries just with a usb c charger?...

Ok, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to hardware stuff. I have a Thinkpad T490 with the 1920x1080 non-touch screen. My complaint is that I ended up with the model with only 45% NTSC. I would like to upgrade to something with 72%....

Hi, my X280 just suddenly won't turn on. It was left on a bed alone so no physical damage. When plugged in the charging indicator is solid white after flashing white 3 times. I've tried turning it on with the battery out but plugged in. I've also tried draining the CMOS battery (unplugged CMOS and the battery and held the power...

For unlocking older Thinkpads with a BIOS password.

Late last year I purchased a 12th gen framework laptop and honestly it's been pretty good. My biggest issues with it are really the hinge is not strong at all even with the upgraded one, the keyboard is trash, lack of trackpoint with buttons, and lack of IO. Don't get me wrong I really like this device but I keep thinking I...

I'm currently using T480. Thinking of upgrading to a second hand new-ish model....

I’m thinking of buying myself a ThinkPad to run Linux on it. I’ve never owned one, and never ran Linux on anything. What are the differences between these two besides the size and numpad? Should I know something?
