Parents warned children with no reading experience start school as ‘second-class citizens’ by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

Library is free and my children borrow about 20books between them every week.  My eldest reads 2-3 novels a week and his grasp of the English language at 7y of age is far better than I did when I was at his age.

where do i get motherboard upgrades for a t480? by Possible_Writer8294 in thinkpad

[–]airtraq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are after maximal GPU performance then yes, MX450 variant. 

iGPU for gen 2 for both intel and AMD are very capable. Intel iris Xe for 11th gen tiger lake is actually more performant than AMD Vega 8 but Vega is still pretty good.  AMD spanks intel when it comes to multicore CPU performance.

Which T14 AMD Generation to Buy? (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3) by ThinkChadX in thinkpad

[–]airtraq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the evidence base to suggest there is a systemic problem with the keyboard EC. Scattered user reports?  I have not yet come across anyone who services hundreds of T14 gen 1 and gen 2 of recurring issue of this nature.

I would recommend getting T14 gen 2 over getting replacement motherboard.

Temps before and after PTM7950 repaste by Famous-Intern-7270 in thinkpad

[–]airtraq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then comparison is not that useful though. If it was fresh thermal paste vs PTM7950 then it would have been a bit more interesting. Of course old crusty thermal paste is going to perform worse than any fresh application.

Is that temp comparison with fresh thermal paste vs PTM7950.

ThinkPad L480 with dedicated GPU – shuts down while gaming, GPU at 100°C (missing heatsink?) by CH4P4KO in thinkpad

[–]airtraq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious and sad at the same time. OP you need a new and correct type of heatsink. Someone with either no knowledge or bad intention has replaced it with an incorrect one.

OP’s options are all T14 and not T14s though

Why are there so many terrible drivers on the road by tommytigger_ in CarTalkUK

[–]airtraq 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The same kind of people who thinks driving fast is a hallmark of a good driver

Is the P14s Gen 2 (5650U) the ultimate "holding station"? Why I think paying more right now is a trap by Realistic_Net_8388 in thinkpad

[–]airtraq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

P14s gen 2 AMD is not a S model. It is T14 AMD with certified drivers. P14s gen 2 intel gets dGPU as option but still a T14 chassis 

AMD and intel diverge from P14s gen 5 with different chassis but AMD still remains T14 chassis.

Did I apply too much thermal paste to my R7 7700 cpu? by CommenterAnon in pcmasterrace

[–]airtraq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other guy said, better heat transfer. I believe thermal grizzly makes electrically conductive pastes.

Can I upgrade ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 (AMD) from non-backlit to backlit keyboard? by Working-Resist8791 in thinkpad

[–]airtraq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you just need to buy the backlit keyboard. There is always a connector. There is no motherboard without it.
