Very happy to hear that I have some good options when my current Thinkpad finally retires. But I won't replace a perfectly good computer just for the sake of it.
Got a Thinkpad L13 with Ryzen 5 pro right now. Cheap, but it does the job. And best of all, no qualcomm wifi chipset. Mediatek, it's not intel but it works.
All USB-c, even 4G and smartcard slot.
Funny but the L13 has pretty much the same cons. Battery life is meh, and fans are noisy when I play games on it.
It doesn't matter, it's enough battery for a 4 hour work session on the go, which is more than I need before I need a break. And when I game I have the sound turned up anyways.
- bhasi 3y agoWhat's the issue with Qualcomm's WiFi card?
- INTPenis 3y agoLinux driver sucks. I accidentally got one with my last computer and it had weak signal, intermittent disconnecting, bluetooth interference, just overall crap. In general the Intel wifi driver is the best but you never see an Intel wifi card with a Ryzen CPU. So mediatek was the best I could find.
