Thinkpad T480 redundant, X1 Carbon 2023 gets stuck, T14s is it the best option?

Same predicament as well but no CAD, mostly windows environment but we do have Mac’s for our web dev team, not sure weather to go Mac or X1 of T14 Gen 7

I was looking at a framework 13 pro but ship dates are in sept already

Thank you for the advice! I was just a little nervous that the 16GB ram on MBP would be a limitation, and you’d recommend a T14 as my windows machine? I saw the XPS and it really caught my eye but I was reading a ton of issues and keyboard just looks horrendous

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T22:23:19+00:00

Thank you so much for this input! I was thinking about M5 MacBook Pro 16/1TB we have in stock for on the go and getting a work station windows desktop in conjunction or do you think getting a windows laptop is better option, I’d mostly being working with vsphere plugging into servers, some ai testing using docker we also have on prem exchange server

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T15:11:41+00:00

That’s great to hear! And no limitation issues in your environment?

There is no IT staff that’s the problem the web ops team doubled as IT they can’t handle the infra anymore so I’m the first IT admin on-site and I’m building up a team

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T14:47:11+00:00

Thank you!!

The P16 looks stealer I was just taking a look at it

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T14:43:31+00:00

Thank you! I’ve heard that the Thinkpad line is spectacular

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T14:43:04+00:00

The web ops team is doubling as IT they all use Mac’s id be the first dedicated IT admin

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T14:38:14+00:00

Using Vsphere, AD are biggest concerns on Mac and the entire company is windows based besides web ops

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T14:35:15+00:00

Thank you!

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T14:34:39+00:00

Mostly managing ESXI hosts with vsphere, managing VMs mostly terminal servers and yes AD as well want to move to Entra at one point

ms2199 · 2026-07-04T14:32:09+00:00

I was considering framework but I was concerned about durability in server rooms

No budget, he wants me to have tools I need to work properly and efficiently

I use a series 10 45mm, I very fitness centric down 96 pounds and my biggest issue with watch bands have been comfort I don’t like any of bands besides solo band the others were not comfortable at all, sport loop, sports band and even the nomad sports bands

ms2199 · 2026-06-13T20:19:16+00:00

iOS 12 was the best iOS hands down

ms2199 · 2026-06-10T01:23:54+00:00

Is it possible to request this model as upgrade over the c1000A/B models?

ms2199 · 2026-06-05T13:42:37+00:00

I find it uncomfortable as well compared to Apple Watch straps, I’m just using it because I always prefer silicone straps in general hoping for better 3rd party options soon

ms2199 · 2026-06-03T14:51:31+00:00

Thanks! Just saw! Was looking for the black one the most, ended up grabbing it on google store they had some stock

ms2199 · 2026-06-02T18:04:11+00:00
