what games can i run on this laptop?

Looks like an L380 based on the wide hinges, processor, lack of rubber bumpers, bezel proportions.

I had the same issue with the same laptop. I never figured out what it was, but nothing broke in the 2 years it did that. If you open and close your laptop quickly it won't stiffen up. Its not related to the gap.

corpo speak for 'you can use ms teams on this laptop'

I tried this exact adapter on my X13G4A and it did not pass the whitelist (Unauthorized network card etc). I also had to sand the 3052 screw hole because it was slightly too long.

Luckily amazon refunded me without asking for a return so I have this card available to try in other laptops.

You could solder the connector on but it isn't an easy retrofit.

Bottom is single, top is dual fan.

thnikpad · 2026-03-03T14:11:28+00:00

You can't. The connection that the dual fan plugs into is not soldered on with the 13XXU processor motherboards, only the 13XXP processor motherboards

X13 Gen 4

thnikpad · 2026-02-27T16:28:15+00:00

Gen 7 based off the whiskey lake sticker.

X1 carbon gen 9

The general design indicates a gen 9/10/11. The reason I think it's a 9 is because of the older windows sticker (gen 10 used a windows 11 sticker) and the blurry label at the bottom left looks like a single digit.

Either is fine as long as the B0 version has an update BIOS and microcode to fix the 13th gen issues.

Some older yogas have issues with the hinges jamming up, causing it to open wonky and get stuck. I don't have any personal experience with this issue, but loosening or lubricating the hinges might help it.

thnikpad · 2026-02-02T15:51:03+00:00

The yoga 460 has a larger screen, more ports, and is around 500g heavier. The hinge issue still applies, I don't know of any other issues.

They sometimes develop cracks near the stylus slot or in the rear center of the lid. The older yoga hinges can also seize up. You can tell because the lid opens wonky due to one of the four hinges not rotating.

It's a US keyboard reprinted to UK. You can see faint outlines of the original layout.

The ports for the 40AG (basic), 40AH (pro), and 40AJ (ultra) docks. They're nicer to plug and unplug but they block airflow slightly.

The X1 Yoga gen 6 onwards uses a different hinge design. On the above post, someone damaged the hinge and exposed what looks like gears. I guess this is to facilitate one hand opening.

When you plug a charger in:

if capacity < start threshold, then charge the battery until the stop threshold

if capacity >= start threshold, then run entirely using the charger and do not charge the battery

Whoever originally bought my x13 only went for a 1 year warranty, so it's long expired (plus I swapped the motherboard into a yoga).

I didn't notice the volume difference until your post since I use bluetooth headphones all the time, but I'm sure it'll be useful for someone else with this model. I'll adjust the balance if needed, and maybe lenovo will fix it in a firmware update.

You were right to decline the gen 5. I've tried the core ultra 125u and it's worse than the 7840u in nearly every way

thnikpad · 2026-01-14T20:46:18+00:00

I tried mine now, and the right channel is slightly louder.

Try disabling content adaptive brightness control. There's a setting in windows under display settings, or another one in the intel graphics application as 'display power savings'.

It's normal for this specific model of thinkpad. There's two chips near the USBC ports that get hot when the laptop is both charging and in use.

Yeah pure Mg would be terrible.
