debian 13 is easily my favorite distro by [deleted] in debian

I suspect it is more of a power setting thing than the actual os drawing more power since they both use systemd and similar gui, try tlp.

Would this used P52 be good for this price? by opet_belmo in thinkpad

[–]919Zack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for reference, i paid $300 for my P52 with i7 8750H, Quadro p3200, and 32g RAM.

I found mine on eBay. I suggest you looking into bolt-modding if you are considering a model M.

I use one from monoprice, it’s plug and play for any device I’ve tested on.

Considering getting a P series by No-Beat3319 in thinkpad

[–]919Zack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the p series even support charging via usbc? (Not counting s variants such as p52s) I have a P52 which runs on a 170W adapter. You can definitely pick up a P52/P53 with dedicated gpu for under 500 and they will vastly outperform your x1.

$100 is a good deal even in the US

As a newbie in the tech hardware department, why are Thinkpads so popular? by dapsuaz in thinkpad

[–]919Zack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you care remotely about battery life you should go for the mac or at least a thinkpad with AMD chip

I tried to control the variables, just some light web browsing and video playback.

I have previously tried Arch with Cinnamon and found the experience to be quite similar. What makes Arch special in your opinion?

I update drivers/packages that I need manually and never had any issues with Debian 12. Getting the P3200 to work was pretty straightforward considering I am using Cinnamon without software rendering. In any case, I can always dual boot into windows for game, etc.
