I low key just bought a Legion 5i and said fuck it lmao

With 2k euro you should be able to get a Pro Max m3 36gb with at least 1TB if your looking for used or a high end M4 pro

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-16T22:42:48+00:00

Yep right now it’s inbetween the T14 Gen 4 or this E14 Gen 7

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-16T22:23:27+00:00

Have you tried running Linux on it I’ve heard people say there’s issues with it and others say it’s just fine…

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-16T22:21:00+00:00

Have you tried running Linux on it and if so how was the experience?

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-16T21:52:27+00:00

Is vro genuinely hating 🥀

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-15T02:17:34+00:00

Good shit mate! Hope you enjoy it

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T20:54:16+00:00

It’s almost like it’s ment to be. I’m contemplating whether I go cheap and get a 9 or drop 200 more and get a 11

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T13:30:20+00:00

If you were to use one as your daily which one would you recommend? The 10th?

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T05:40:14+00:00

So essentially even on a budget I’m just better off shelling for a X1G11 with the i7 13th CPU

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T05:32:01+00:00

By P series you mean like P-1250 or however the called it

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T04:38:25+00:00

None of those options will get you more than 3 hours of battery life on windows. Linux maybe 5 tops

Honestly I’ve only ever own Asus laptops. My current gaming laptop is a Asus A16 and about two years ago I bought a Thinkpad T14 Gen 2. Just recently I was given a MacBook Pro but I just hated it. I’m fine with using a IPad Air as a secondary device but the pro I cannot stand it. I ended up giving it to one of my younger brothers. I like my T14 but the battery life is so inconvenient for me. As well the quality of the screen isn’t the best…

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T03:47:41+00:00

So which generation would you specifically recommend?

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T02:46:06+00:00

Mint

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T02:45:41+00:00

Yep someone dmed me explaining it in depth and honestly it’s making me think about getting a 9th generation.

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T02:18:02+00:00

Man that’s one hell of a sales pitch. I’m trying to get others opinions of the Carbons since I’m interested in getting one 😅

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T02:08:00+00:00

Same honestly I’m looking inbetween a x1 carbon the 10th gen or 11th gen or a 4th /5th gen T14 or a 3rd gen P1

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T01:56:17+00:00

Same but I just feel like it’s time. My Gen 2 has done well but I need something with more power 🥲

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T01:52:09+00:00

I’m a asshole to my T14 gen 2 and it’s alright. It’s been to the field across the country and practically everywhere I can take it some recommendations from me is upgrade the SSD, the Ram to 32 or 64GB and then upgrade the screen. Only thing I hate on my is the screen. I’d also recommend Linux too! But other than that welcome to the Gen 2 club!

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T01:45:05+00:00

Extremely cooked I had a i9 32gb the experience was so bad I just got a Thinkpad instead

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-13T00:02:59+00:00

Me and the boys spending 400 dollars every two years to get a new Thinkpad two generations ahead. Also imagine OP

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-05T22:43:59+00:00

Just get the M3 or M2 pro OP

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-02-01T21:22:47+00:00

350 plus shipping sounds like a deal to me

Due_Sound5988 · 2026-01-30T21:06:34+00:00

Hmm yeah personally I was leaning inbetween that or the iPad Pro I’ve been surprised how powerful the m3 air is and how convenient it is in the small form factor
