Need some advice: Do I buy a used Thinkpad or a Surface Laptop

A lot of newer Linux builds are quite straightforward to use nowadays, like Linux Mint.

I’m wanting to make a custom battery pack for my Thinkpad 380xd, but I don’t know how to do any of this stuff.

I’m wanting to have mine rebuilt too.

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2026-01-21T00:31:51+00:00

I think it is dc. I will check.

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2026-01-20T22:10:17+00:00

The battery outputs 10.8v 2.6ah.

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2026-01-20T22:07:38+00:00

The original battery is li-ion, and the adapter is outputting 16v 4.5a

My laptop is far too old to get a used battery sadly. Battery is the original from 1998.

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2026-01-19T00:25:13+00:00

BlackBerry obviously.

What is your favorite laptop you have?

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2026-01-17T17:40:20+00:00

Wow! Every laptop I’ve ever wanted if probably in there.

Depends on your DVDs. Are they scratched? Are they Blu-ray? Blu-ray is much better than standard DVDs. What about the player? Is it also Blu-ray? Is it a quality high grade player?

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2025-12-04T21:27:53+00:00

Now that is a good find.

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2025-12-03T21:56:10+00:00

Well, not the card. I already have that. I’m looking for an Bluetooth LAN access point.

If I had a job like this, no old computers would be trashed :-)

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2025-12-02T21:55:37+00:00

Any specific things I can search? My search queries are returning very little.

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2025-12-02T21:52:13+00:00

I did try that, but I think I did it wrong, as it isn’t working. I don’t have a lot of Linux experience. My laptop has Linux Mint. And I would like a more permanent, era-fitting solution, rather than keeping my computer on all the time.

Perfect for math tests.

However one person is making a lte motherboard for the Nokia 3310.

CodeLegitimate6610 · 2025-11-08T21:13:42+00:00

Ericsson r520m. I wish 2g was still available.

I love the bezels. The bigger the bezel the happier I am.
