Echoing others, you may have a much easier time installing linux in a virtualbox(.org) vm than doing so onto a laptop as a bare metal install. CentOS is not targeted at desktop use much; if that's your goal and you're new to linux, Ubuntu may be an easier ride. Good luck!
- jlgaddis 8y agoI'd certainly agree with you in general but ThinkPads are pretty popular at Red Hat (and at their biggest customer) and, as a result, they are probably better supported than other any model of laptops. I've been running RHEL on a ThinkPad T420 for years without any major issues. It Just Works(tm).
