My main machine is an oldish ThinkPad T420s. It runs Fedora 24 flawlessly. Sadly not many machines seem to run Linux (any distro) perfectly. Part of the reason I haven't upgraded to a newer machine is because this machine just works and I am very lazy so trying to get a newer machine to run as well is more work than I care for. It isn't like performance has improved massively since SandyBridge.
- snowwindwaves 10y agoI have a t420s also. In fact I bought a second as a spare. With 16gb ram and ssd it is a great machine. The one thing I love about it that I can't find on any new laptops is that all the ports are on the back; power, Ethernet, displays USB etc. I can show up at a plant and plug in to the network and power and have a mousepad beside the laptop keyboard and binders and notebooks on the other side without getting tangled up in cords. For bigger stays at a site I bring a 27" monitor too but still no cords out the side. No new laptops have all ports on the back!!
- satysin 10y agoYES! I love that also. I can deal with power on the left but when the hell do so many device makers put the damn power on the right side where my mouse will be?! The only ports I want on the side are USB and only on the left side please.
