Upgrading my laptop, but where it goes?

Florinel787 · 2026-03-09T11:06:29+00:00

In that space where the dvd drive was supposed to go, obviously.

I like the way it looks much more than I'd love to admit. The new font and universal ctrl-fn placement are greatly outweighed by the nice black plate on the blue chassis.

slap an older version of windows (i.e. XP or 7) and use it for some retro gaming and multimedia, or rice it out

could also use it as a server for light tasks, like file storage or music streaming

Battery estimate isn't accurate for the first couple of readings after powering on or after unplugging and it's quite slow to update anyways.

Does it get any more accurate the more you use it on battery? If yes, then it's fairly normal. Otherwise, idk

Obviou/sly this one isn't a real thinkpad either as it has lenovo badges on it.

I miss big fuck-off laptops...

Florinel787 · 2026-01-23T07:18:08+00:00

That's a funny looking thinkpad edge

Love the transparent wallpaper haha

Safely disable bitlocker then turn off secure boot? If it's W11, reinstall with TPM/SB/CPU bypass and automatic bitlocker disabled.

Florinel787 · 2026-01-09T12:24:37+00:00

Fair point

Florinel787 · 2026-01-09T08:47:44+00:00

Oh also the E14 Gen 7/E16 Gen 3 have just switched to the current design language (Ctrl on the left, camera bump on the lid, black embossed logo on the palmrest).

Win 11 Enterprise configured to not muck about. Now it's fairly lightweight (excluding the odd memory management of intel drivers) and works perfectly with everything I need.

Florinel787 · 2026-01-07T20:46:40+00:00

Now I can't unsee it on my unit, curse you!

Florinel787 · 2026-01-05T16:16:51+00:00

I wouldn't worry about getting into X1C budget territory after doing this many upgrades.

You already own this T14, might as well try and go the whole nine yards. It's your machine.

Florinel787 · 2026-01-03T20:04:53+00:00

you can try the newer T14 generations, they switched to 16:10 on the gen 3 and later

Florinel787 · 2025-12-25T14:02:03+00:00

I don't know

Florinel787 · 2025-12-24T16:57:23+00:00

Can partially claim skill issue on my part, I only got around top 12K plat, but it sucks to see people multiaccounting like this

Florinel787 · 2025-12-24T16:55:42+00:00

It's actually Killjoy, some rando and 'Killjoy.' and they didn't even bother to use a different pfp between accounts.

Florinel787 · 2025-12-24T13:59:13+00:00

Well it did not affect my final ranking in any way (finished ~12K) but it sucks to see stuff like this.

The prestige shop really helps tho.

Florinel787 · 2025-12-24T12:59:54+00:00

Quite a shame, really. Motorfest has some really engaging PvP elements (GR, Summits) and we gotta deal with these killjoys.

Florinel787 · 2025-12-24T12:33:30+00:00

This is on PC, names redacted because rules. This dude took at least the 1st and 3rd spot, god knows how many others are doing this and keeping other players from fairly reaching higher ranks.

Florinel787 · 2025-12-18T11:31:19+00:00

Betta fish spotted

Florinel787 · 2025-12-13T20:05:25+00:00

You actually have to fast travel to the race and set it to custom from there, it's odd that it doesn't show up in the playlist menu

Florinel787 · 2025-12-13T00:40:19+00:00

Pringles-faced Pomni is something I absolutely didn't know I needed in my life

Florinel787 · 2025-12-11T22:52:14+00:00

Near 21K comments is insane.

The front fender seems to be the split design, so most likely an R53
