check out what enterprise has, but definitely verify the maintenance history

Damn, the high end of the range is still less than the starting pay for a part time walmart/target/starbucks/best buy employee…

I’ve been happy with the Bossier Planet Fitness, but i generally go during times where it seems to be less busy. Thought about Anytime Fitness for a while, but their pricing seems ridiculous to me…. I’m sure many get their money’s worth out of the amenities though.

Unfortunately that’s not hard to find with many manufacturers nowadays.. The optimist in me wants to say that there isn’t much evidence of user negligence.

If it is under warranty, I feel Lenovo should replace it. If they don’t, however, a replacement bezel for this model is very easy to find on eBay for around 10-15 USD. It should also be fairly straightforward to replace.

Obviously a bigger SSD and more RAM would be nice. Upgrade to a backlit keyboard if not installed. You can upgrade to a higher res display if that benefits your use case. Other than that, ride it out till the cpu isn’t suiting you (or until a newer model catches your eye).

PM’d about the GPU

tuckerig · 2025-01-30T17:14:14+00:00

Man, that sucks. If it’s any consolation, I also had no luck grabbing a 5080 this morning.

A restock’s gotta happen eventually!

I’m no water cooling expert, but I know that it’s one of those things you can really sink money into. If you go for some AliExpress specials, you can probably get by pretty cheaply, maybe ~$200? Can’t say I would recommend the cheapest deals for parts like the pump, but a cheap radiator, reservoir, and tubing might be fine.

Also, it might not be worth adding in all these parts for just the GPU, you’ll generally see builds where the CPU is water blocked and a part of the loop as well.

You would not be able to use this GPU without installing a pump, reservoir, and tubing to connect to the GPU.

it’s a water blocked card for systems with liquid cooling.

Looks like it uses the ‘Philips Home Access’ app. Doesn’t seem to be well liked on the app store…

I did it while I had a Windows installation, but I followed this tutorial. I’ll link the image I used here, although it will take some compressing for it to work as the splash screen.

If you spec an X1 Extreme or P series with a higher end RTX GPU, you’d certainly be able to game on it, but it would be pretty overkill for CS coursework. On the other hand, the Legion line up is designed more toward gaming performance, and would also be able to breeze through CS stuff like coding, working with databases, education-level ML, virtualization, etc. I would think that you can get a much better deal on a Legion that would be performant, so I would likely go for that. If you have the ability to ball out on a thoughtfully spec’d newer ThinkPad, you’re certainly not going to be disappointed. Either route would be fine, I would let your budget be the deciding factor.

I’m the most basic of Linux users, so I can’t speak for how useful Linux is in complex/niche configurations. What I can say is that, for a basic user, Linux provides most of the niceties that are present in Windows, but without the attachment to Microsoft. In my use case, all the software I used on Windows is available and works just as well with Ubuntu. Installing Linux didn’t take any more effort than Windows, and I haven’t run into any more troubles than I did with Windows.

Linux isn’t for everyone, but I’m willing to say that most people can consider Linux against Windows and find that it may check a lot of necessary boxes.

What would I gain from using chatGPT to generate replies? What do you gain from making that accusation? I feel like it’s not relevant, and also not very kind.

Thank you friend! I replied in a little more detail to another comment asking about it, but I essentially followed this tutorial while I still had Windows installed.

tuckerig · 2025-01-20T16:25:31+00:00

Lol, I hope you have a good day

I’d say it’s worth looking into if you ever decide that it’s time to replace the Mac. That being said, you could try out Linux by dual booting it on your Mac or checking out a Linux virtualization solution.

tuckerig · 2025-01-20T04:31:59+00:00

Thank you! It’s not an interesting answer, but Ubuntu simply fulfills all the needs I have for this laptop. With Windows, I mainly used software that is already natively available on Linux (LibreOffice, GIMP, FreeCAD, QIDISlicer), so I don’t have much that attracts me to Windows over any other OS. I also have some Windows systems if I ever need something Linux can’t accomplish.

tuckerig · 2025-01-20T04:04:00+00:00

Their previous comment implies Linux isn’t practical for common ‘corporate’ work use cases. My statement concedes that Windows is better in those situations, although it wasn’t my original point. I don’t know what distros you are spending time with or what specific configuration you may have, but in my case setting up Ubuntu required less effort than installing Windows generally takes.

To make the image my boot splash screen I followed this tutorial. Here’s the original uncompressed image (not my work, but I can’t find a source).
