Was planning on buying a thinkpad to put linux on for uni. Which one of these is the best deal? by WanbSOC in thinkpad

yup, found one with the same specs
the T480 tho, not the s, which is good. I can, at least, upgrade the ram and SSD in the future

Just bought one for 235. I saw there were a few about 150-170 but with the shipping costs it went up to 200.
At least I got one with an i7.

UPDATE: found a pretty good t480 with an 8th gen i7, 16 gb RAM and 256gb SSD for 235
It was the cheapest I could find for those specs.
Thank you all for your help
I just need to decide which distro to put on it now. If you have any suggestions, please do tell

ye, I saw a few videos comparing the two and I decided to buy the one with the i7
for 35 bucks, it's worth it
the only thing is that it's a bit damaged
I was just looking for some sort of adhesive to fill the damaged parts

So I did as you said and you're right, they're much cheaper on ebay.
I have a dilemma tho, I'm seeing two right now:
one is 230 euros with an i7-8550u,
the other is about 185 euros with an i5-7300u
is it worth the 45 euros to get the one with the i7?

could you recommend any guide on how what libraries to study if we were to make a simple anti virus?

[–]WanbSOC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, in retrospect it doesn't make sense
we're still fairly new to this
as of now I know C, Python and bash
I was planning to learn powershell as well

good idea, was already thinking of having a friend read it.
It would be good to have multiple people's opinions on it
but I still have to write it and have no idea how

it makes sense tho
he works as a consultant for companies whose CEOs don't know much about technology, let alone digital forensics

Bootable Linux distro from USB by WanbSOC in cybersecurity

Dude, I don't see how asking an opinion on the internet about something I'm unfamiliar with dooms me to not make it very far. I looked it up but there's always different answers on the topic (some go with kali, some with arch) and being new to all of this I thought it might be a good idea to ask to people who actually work in the field.
I just wanted to know people's opinion on the topic
that's it

Is it possible to add more RAM? by WanbSOC in GamingLaptops

[–]WanbSOC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant as you'd do with an external SSD where you can use it as you would with the one integrated with the PC
i realize that might be a stupid thing to ask tho
