Considering replacing my t410. Is this a good contender for Linux? I’m reading the fan is loud, speakers subpar (quiet), and the keyboard isn’t great with very low travel.
- cperciva 6y agoThe fan on my laptop is quiet unless I'm doing something very power-intensive like an 8-way parallel compile. It will probably depend on the CPU model you get though. The speakers and keyboard feel fine to me, but that's very subjective. Speaking of subjective, this feels like the most solidly constructed laptop I've ever used.
- ornornor 6y agoThanks for the info. So yours isn't the so-called "2 in 1", right? It cannot be flipped over as some kind of tablet, and doesn't have the touchscreen.
- cperciva 6y agoCorrect. No touchscreen, lid opens ~180 degrees but not 360 degrees. I wish Dell wouldn't use the same model number for different models. :-/
