This is great. I’m still rocking a nearly 10 year old T470s. Great machine with Linux on it, still snappy enough- Tailscale is there when I need to do serious work (on my desktop at home!)
I replaced the batteries a few months ago and it was painless.
- cbenz 7mo agoSame here. The only problem is that I "only" have 24Gb of RAM. I wish I could upgrade but it's a hard limit. And keyboard quality seems to have been degrading over the years since 2020. Is this new model good in terms of keyboard?
- Markoff 7mo agoYou can have more than 32GB RAM in T470s (btw. I'm using T480s with 40GB RAM) https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/bibx3p/t470s_supports_single_32gb_module_samsung/ https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/bibx3p/t470s_supp...
- abdullahkhalids 7mo agoI have a T470. I have changed the screen (after I dropped water on it and shorted it), changed the batteries after 5 years, increased the RAM, and added an M2 drive. All of these were painless operations. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
- hermanzegerman 7mo agoSame. And it's still fast enough for almost all 08/15 Tasks if you replace Windows with Fedora
- petepete 7mo agoI use my 2019 X1C 7th Gen daily and it's been the best laptop I've owned by a mile. Never skipped a beat. I immediately switched it to Fedora and everything worked out of the box except the fingerprint reader which started working a few weeks later after a firmware update (also handled effortlessly/perfectly within Gnome - and it still gets updates!)
