iMac 2010, I think all-in-one computer is a bad idea in general, because the cpu/mem/gpu age quicker than the monitor.
lenovo thinkpad, used as a linux notebook, but the trackpad is difficult to use under linux.
- musicale 2y agoDidn't that machine support Target Display Mode so that you could use it as a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt monitor? I wish they would bring back a 27" iMac and Target Display Mode.
- billconan 2y agothat imac can be used as a monitor, however it can't adjust height, and you have to start the whole machine to use it as a monitor.

- _yb2s 2y agoSurprised about the mac- I still have a maxed out 2010 Macbook Pro - 16gb ram and SATA- and it has aged so well it is still fully usable with most modern software and workflows, and feels fast. I also have a new Apple Silicon Macbook Pro and it is the screen and battery that mostly makes the newer one fundamentally nicer to use. I don’t game or do intensive things like video editing though- mostly just web and coding in a terminal.
