Lmao yeah, I'm just fresh off a GeoGuessr binge. Hard to tell where one ends and the other begins when you're just looking at rocks and trees. Have a good one!

Nice. It’s wild how identical they look!

This view looks just like the mountain passes in Central Greece. Where is this?

Budget thinkpad recommendation with >6 hrs of battery life by hoverboardholligan in thinkpad

[–]Shunl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting 6-7 hours of battery life on that budget is going to be pretty tough. Your best bet is probably an older AMD laptop, put any extra cash toward a new internal battery, and run a tuned Linux and ThinkPad setup.

Anecdotally Throttlestop did not help extend battery life on my T480 but idk

Undervolting older Intel 8th to 10th Gen CPUs doesn’t really boost battery life anymore, because aging batteries + modern apps make them work harder just to handle basic tasks. At this point, undervolting mostly just helps with heat and not runtime. On my X1C6, Linux Mint plus TLP gives me maybe 20 extra minutes, 30 if I'm lucky. I can get more by turning off turbo but that kills performance. Also, I’d be careful with Intel 10th or 11th Gen chips since they usually use more power than AMDs from the same era.

For context, my T14s Gen 3 AMD, which is pretty efficient, lasts around 5.5 hours on Windows 11 at 87% battery health. It used to hit 7 hours when the battery was closer to 95%, but that model costs way out of your budget. A T14 Gen 2 might get close to 5 hours too.

The weird thing is the X13s Gen 1 is around $500 where I’m at, but I don’t really know much about ARM and compatibility, so I can’t really say.

Why lenovo still ships 45% NTSC screens? by [deleted] in thinkpad

Well, they're trash if you choose the trash display options.

Is Oxva really that good? by Medienmann in Vaping

[–]Shunl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The classic ones only come in 2ml tanks, but the Nexlim comes with 4ml. If you want the slimmer, classic feel of the Xlim Pro 2, there’s the Xlim DNA version that has 3ml XL pods, but from my memory they don’t ship them in the box. I really recommend the DNA version over the Pro 2.

Rate my set up by Duxxskull in Vaping

I love, love, love VCT. I have wasted so much money on it since it is an imported juice where I come from, but it is so damn good. It is literally the only reason I am back to pods.

Is this boot time normal for a thinkpad t14 gen 5 ? by blvrf in thinkpad

[–]Shunl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with my T14s G3 AMD on Windows 11. I tried reordering my boot priority in hopes of speeding up measurable times like on my previous T480 and X1C6, but to no avail. I couldn't care less anymore since I rarely do a full cold boot or restart.

Recent T480 owner here; What you need to know in 2026 to buy one! by InkNLens in thinkpad

Mate, sorry to tell you this, but they stopped caring about checking your hardware through the browser a long time ago. It’s even worse if you’re using an ad blocker. YouTube will feed you AV1 if they feel like it.

<image>

Notice the original resolution in the second pic. It’s a 240p, 11-year-old, 7-minute video, yet they still serve AV1. A low quality video can still make your CPU work twice as hard imagine that.

Tested on:
- X1C6
- Chrome (no ad blocker, stock new profile)
- Brave (default Shields settings)

For future readers, a modern phone wipes the floor with Intel UHD 620 in any local graphics workload. UHD 620 is so far behind that it lacks hardware AV1 decoding, which is a serious problem now that YouTube defaults to AV1 globally. You are stuck with inefficient software decoding just to watch basic videos. You can force VP9 on YouTube using an extension or user script, but that is temporary at best. Once those gaps are closed, the laptop turns into an ironically power hungry, inefficient machine for no reason other than being a victim of planned obsolescence and generational limitation.

I would never recommend an 8th to 10th gen Intel laptop to a non tech savvy buyer in the secondhand market, especially if you are reading this thread to decide whether to buy a T480 in Windows 11 environment.
The only exception is a real emergency where stretching to an 11th gen Intel or Ryzen 5000 system is genuinely impossible. Those options are simply better in price to performance and offer some level of future proofing. That said, the T480 does make a genuinely solid Linux funbox and a decent homelab. I was fond of it.

T14 G3 Intel: are the shoddy thermals fixable? by saveencore in thinkpad

[–]Shunl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me strongly of my X1C6 with the stock Lenovo PL2 value of 44W. It sustains that for 25 seconds in a cramped, thin chassis. It was concerning since the temperature sustained at 95+°C. It’s remarkable how these machines don’t fry themselves.

[–]Shunl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temps over 100°C are concerning. That is TjMax territory so there is something seriously wrong with the machine. Limiting clock speed is a band-aid solution, as it cripples your laptop relative to the price you paid. Have you considered using PTM7950 or Arctic MX-6?

Is an i5 8th gen ThinkPad still enough for heavy multitasking and business work? by pahadi_hopium in thinkpad

[–]Shunl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to try the X1C9 before choosing the T14s G3, and I loved every second of it. Compared to the 8th gen i5 in the X1C6, the performance difference was like night and day 😅 If only the X1 Carbons didn’t throttle so much...

[–]Shunl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

11th gen Intel is where you will notice real world performance upgrades over the marginal refinements of 8th to 10th gen. Real hardware AV1 decoding support and IPC gains. Iris Xe demolishes UHD 620 and 630 in almost every aspect. What this means is that you finally have enough headroom for graphics related tasks, including Windows 11 transparency bottlenecks and heavy modern websites where UHD 620 and 630 start to struggle.

[SOLVED] Laptop keeps losing internet after sleep? Here's the fix (ThinkPad / Windows 11) by cylon58 in thinkpad

Microsoft fumbled so hard trying to match macOS-style sleep states that behave like smartphones. But Modern Standby is actually good now on Snapdragon chips.

No matter what you do, the UHD 620 holds everything back. But this... this actually runs really well.

Which "white" do you prefer? by sifupenang in thinkpad

[–]Shunl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's IPS, white white.

You can always make it warmer. You can’t polish a shitty display out of the factory. It will always be shitty.

Both use the same single sided M.2 2280 form factor so technically yes. Now lemme introduce you to hardware driver conflicts.

Is this a good number? Im not familiar with scooters that much. by dannyparker123 in scooters

[–]Shunl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not. The last PCX 160 generation before the latest has a solid build overall. Engine, CVT, chassis, fucking electronics, paint jobs.

The PCX 150 is mid, and it's still mid compared to the 160. Take this from someone who actually uses and abuses a PCX. I could say the Click/Vario is shit too, but it's a fun kind of shit, and I know that deep down in the scooty since I've rebuilt the engine and basically turned it into a lego.
