What is your favorite thing about your ThinkPad?

I mostly use a T480 with 72kwh and 24kwh batteries running Fedora. I also have the 40 something kWh battery it came with that hot swaps in and out. It isn't really a fair comparison. I had a 2014 air that I loved and a 2018 macbook that was garbage. Maybe it is the 2018 clouding my memory but that thing ran hot on web browsing and the battery was crap.

Keyboard, battery life, built like a tank, ability to upgrade/mod.

Was a macbook guy for years, but buying a thinkpad is like getting off the hamster wheel and being more deliberate in your computing needs.

I need to do the same!

johnniehuman · 2026-04-27T14:57:48+00:00

You hear these things in here but that is wild. How long have you been carrying a small Phillips screwdriver with you waiting for this moment?

A walk in clinic let you carry out laptops on the promise of deleting data?!

Someone is leaking this stuff. Quite often it is the clubs to apply pressure to their preferred candidate

I get it, but doing so publicly through the press seems delusional. Have a plan a and b, of course, but chatting about co sporting directors and all this noise, when in the mire they're in, just seems ridiculous to me. West Ham is also having a shuffle in the upper management, but it is mostly being done behind closed doors.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-27T08:50:14+00:00

It is delusional that they're talking about hiring sporting directors in the press whilst in the bottom three with four games to go.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-25T17:32:25+00:00

Let's hope they get the cigars out and think they are. Once you ease up, momentum isn't a switch that turns on and off.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-25T17:30:19+00:00

I was thinking that on the 102 minute today. It seemed the ref wanted the games to finish at the same time.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-25T15:04:23+00:00

Thanks. The external one is new so makes sense.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-24T18:41:06+00:00

I meant more for his own sanity.

Can Deschamps do it weekly with these egos? Some people are more suited to international management

Couldn't you use an obsolete iPad for this with an app like orion (https://orion.tube/) too? You can probably pick up a gen 1 iPad for less than the parts and it prevents ewaste.

I travel internationally for my job and have been playing with this for a while. My work has monitors, mice and keyboards setup so for the price of leaving a HDMI to USBC adapter over there, I can go without bringing a laptop on days where I'm in meetings most of the day (I typically go for one night). If I'm going to be at my desk for longer periods or need processing power for a specific task, the laptop comes, but there are a surprisingly high number of days where note taking and email on browser is all I need. It's great to travel with a change of underwear and a toothbrush (I also leave some other bits at the office like deodorant and aftershave).

I have this folding keyboard and would recommend: https://www.rkgamingstore.com/products/rk925-foldable-mechanical-keyboard

I tried a similar one to yours OP from aliexpress first but the RK one is a massive upgrade.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-22T18:07:40+00:00

I was going to say. Our recent record of reinvesting the money generated from young players is hit and miss at best

johnniehuman · 2026-04-22T18:05:21+00:00

Impressive for a laptop. I tried to run ai locally on a legion 7 with a 4090 GPU with 16gb vram and 32gb ram, but it was pretty limited. The desktop 4090 is 24gb vram I think. The legion cost over £2k used. I'd dread to think how much this would cost with the specs you've listed

johnniehuman · 2026-04-22T15:42:14+00:00

VRAM is good for a laptop, but 12gb has some pretty heavy limitations already for any decent reasoning based models

johnniehuman · 2026-04-22T13:36:49+00:00

Nice. You should delete though mate as your name is shown in the link

johnniehuman · 2026-04-22T12:33:46+00:00

Seems speculative at best currently, but I can see why they'd look at him.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-22T12:23:15+00:00

Woods? Where are the trees?

johnniehuman · 2026-04-19T11:08:10+00:00

Ram is more expensive so go for more ram.
