- windexh8er 4y agoIn the article they (you?) say T480 and explicitly not T470. I own a T470 and have been using it only with Linux since new and would still highly recommend it. Some of the upgrades they did I had ordered from Lenovo upon order (screen, battery, RAM). Mine has a i7-7600U however, which is maybe where the differential they're referring to lies. The newer i5 has double the cores/threads to 4/8 vs 2/4 in the i7 of the T470. Regardless, the T470 is still my daily driver as my personal laptop and everything works as good as the day I bought it. It's still jarring typing on my M1 MBP 16 after spending any time on the T470. Apple still has garbage for keyboards. Have they gotten better? Sure. They're still horrible though.
- rozenmd 4y agoYeah I suggest a T480 for double the cores, but honestly the T470 isn't bad either.
