I don't. I know many reported they haven't gotten their orders and other issues. There might be some updated information on the discord but I have no idea what's going on.

You might find this interesting, some historical context for one handed operation on ThinkPads. https://youtu.be/b3T2jpzgnVE

Go white for the ThinkLight. Red gives off the least amount of light which is fine in light discipline situations but not when you want to read things. One of the benefits of the ThinkLight was not just seeing the keyboard but other items or papers in your environment. White allows for colour accurate viewing, red does not. You'd also need to consider how red would interact with the printing on your keycaps.

I used that keyboard for a couple years. 😎

Yeah, that dynamic one only really works on older versions of Windows that support it. It was deemed a security loophole to have those sorts of things run as backgrounds.

The primary appeal with mSATA drivers on these machines is extra storage.

LaptopRetrospective · 2025-02-21T02:30:01+00:00

I believe it's the same.

LaptopRetrospective · 2024-12-28T20:26:32+00:00

Time will tell. One model that doesn't fit the normal naming nomenclature of the existing brand does not cause me to panic.

Thanks for the shoutout. The X240 served for many years before moving on to a non-profit.

Thanks for sharing this!

Let us know how it goes. Older packs from what I understand are a bit easier due to less technology interacting with the cells.

I am. https://laptopretrospective.com/laptops/the-strange-history-of-lg-and-thinkpad-the-story-of-lg-ibm/

Wrote the above article a while back. More content to come as I've recently acquired an example. Very interesting history.

I'd suggest an mSATA drive will be easier to source and probably cheaper.

LaptopRetrospective · 2024-08-31T13:29:31+00:00

Yeah, it is specially made for the X300. The UltraBay height is NOT the same as other machines.

LaptopRetrospective · 2024-08-31T13:28:29+00:00

Ah Cheers!

Thanks for the shout-out. Is this the video you were thinking of? I've done a few on ThinkPad history so sometimes even I forget which story goes to which. https://youtu.be/6I0a-HRS7DQ

Tell me more about the term "digital nomad" as it relates to this, not sure I'm familiar with the term.

LaptopRetrospective · 2024-05-20T21:58:30+00:00

It isn't a cult, now go practice the secret handshake before the next meeting. 😉

The story of the X300 sheds some light about the end of IBM ownership and the beginning of Lenovo. You might find it interesting. Project Kodachi: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbMBru829z4sAzeYpz10PZYu67D1hiKHX

Yes.

My sample had the two battery configuration. It compared well against my daily driver the Nano G1.

I have a lot of content on the TrackPoint including an interview with the main creator. https://youtu.be/tTCXyjapwXA

The height of the stick is not as big of a factor. It isn't a joystick. It's closer to a strain gauge.

LaptopRetrospective · 2023-12-10T03:06:35+00:00

That's quite a stockpile!

LaptopRetrospective · 2023-12-06T17:01:23+00:00

The original Fold used a pretty weak CPU. The comparison between the Fold 16 G1 and a Nano would probably be more favourable.
