Hi Roly
I have a T420 and it is brilliant. It just keeps going. I'm not
sure what else I can say other than I use it for:
Emails, Web work, photo and video edit and video playback.
The only drawback is the inability to upgrade ram beyond 8gb
which would be nice in terms of video editing.
Hello Everyone,
My old net book (Samsung N130!!) is just too slow. Surfing the net is just painful. I need a new (proper) laptop.
I have always fancied a ThinkPad because of their build quality and reputation.
I am also aware that in more recent years Lenovo have perhaps been trading on this reputation?
I spend most of my time in a terminal. However, the most demanding things it will be used for are surfing the net, watching videos on you tube, watching a movie, infrequent and very basic photo editing and the kids homework. So nothing mega. I anticipate it being a faithful servant for many years to come. Budget is variable. Would certainly consider a refurbished model as well as buying brand new.
Some of the models I am considering are:-
- One of the X1 Carbon models- T460- T450- T420 (very old, but still good?)
I would very much welcome your comments and any other advice. I will probably put Debian or Mint on it. Thanks very much.
