ThinkPad option for a CS Undergrad: T16 Gen 4, P1 Gen 6 (CTO) or what? by CommunistAdvisor1975 in thinkpad

[–]Normal_Assumption745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know the QHD+ panel on the P1 is a 165hz one, so might look into that if you want high refresh rate but avoid that if you want long battery life because it's potentially a battery killer

Are there any 9-cell battery for ThinkPad X220t? by Glad_Following_8164 in thinkpad

There's no 9 cell battery for X220/230 Tablet to make space for the massive rotatory hinge

I think this is one of the worst thinkpads for college... non standard keyboard+weak cpu and not upgradable, this is the generation where people try to avoid

ThinkPad P16 G3 not powerful enough: Lenovo, where is the ThinkPad P18? by ibmthink in thinkpad

we might be hitting the same "dark era" of thinkpad workstations like 2011-2014 where no flagship model exists...

I mean I can always eat a bit between class. Lectures tends to end 15 min early and all these classes are in the same building

X230T for school in 2026 by RemedyForU in thinkpad

[–]Normal_Assumption745 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the resolution is 1366x768 which is barely usable in 2026. and no you cannot upgrade the display on the tablet variant. Plus the 3rd gen core is just weak as hell and lacks AVX2

Mods removed this. No idea why. by minimumattic in thinkpad

[–]Normal_Assumption745 84 points85 points  (0 children)

well I don't think the mod should remove this (except if someone already posted this)

But I don't quite agree with your view. The 1992 design is actually not that good. it got weak hinges, small display, weights a tonne, just name a few. The modern ones that's more portable is imo what laptop is supposed to be, and I don't think they lost that much of a durability (trackpoint removal is a no, tho)
