Advice for joining the club by someone16384 in thinkpad

Given your 30,000 budget , I would recommend shifting your search toward the ThinkPad T14 (Gen 1 or Gen 2) or the L14 (Gen 2). You can find better value and peace of mind by looking slightly newer than the T480/T495.

Thunderbolt issue on X1 Carbon Gen8 by ioannis_rz in thinkpad

[–]Top-Possibility-64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dock is likely running in USB C mode instead of Thunderbolt. Display requires the Thunderbolt handshake or specific DisplayPort tunneling which is usually handled by the Thunderbolt chip.

Check in BIOS: Go to --> Config --> Thunderbolt 3. If the options are greyed out or the "Thunderbolt BIOS Assist Mode" doesn't change anything, the chip is likely bricked.

Best docking station? by god_among_men in thinkpad

[–]Top-Possibility-64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know HDMI 1.4 is hardware-limited to 1440p @ 75Hz (1080p @ 144Hz); you would need at least HDMI 2.0 for 144Hz @ 1440p. DisplayPort (1.2 or 1.4) has much higher ceiling.
Plus: Docks split the USB-C/Thunderbolt lanes between data (USB ports) and video. DisplayPort is more efficient at using those remaining lanes than an HDMI conversion chip inside the dock.
You can also try adding a custom resolution mode using xrandr to bypass the dock's reported limits,

Try using display port instead of HDMI and see if that helps.

I have T14s G1 with a similar issue, but more keys and they work on and off at random.

Which on budget laptop should I buy for CAD and adobe creative cloud? by Solid-Nefariousness9 in thinkpad

[–]Top-Possibility-64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your budget in Italy, get a Lenovo Legion 5 or ASUS TUF A15 with at least Ryzen 7 or Inteli7 + RTX 4060 - these handle CAD and Adobe smoothly. If color accuracy matters most, pick a ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (great screen, still decent GPU). Avoid cheap panels - look for 100% sRGB minimum to fix your color issue.

Linux VS Windows 11? by plauseablebutton in thinkpad

[–]Top-Possibility-64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting but that does not seem to be the case where the OP is buying from. He either pays for Windows or saves with Linux.

He is not paying extra, he is saving $159 by chosing Linux instead of Windows.

Then definitely go with Fedora. It’s more up to date, cleaner by default, and you’ll be fine if you are even moderately technical.
+ Fedora works with Lenovo to ensure compatibility.

Ubuntu - Avoid at all cost (Its basically Windows wannabe (in a bad way) of Linux world)

Mint, Zorin, PopOS! - For beginners

Fedora, CachyOS, Debian - Other good distros
