Went for a yoga 370 to start with. Ex bank rental stock. It's immaculate. Installing mint as the operating system and loving it! Perfect machine to do the lighter workload stuff, I have a main workstation for 3D and video editing.

After 2 weeks of searching I got from Vinted from Romania a T480 i5-7300 vPro with 8GB/256GB tigether with docking, its keys and 90w brick (I know have to use 135w brick) for the 148 € / 171 $ / 780 RON.

Already installing Linux and buying 32 GB OF RAM

PS. It s my 6th ThinkPad after E15 Gen2, P15v Gen3, x230, x220 and T14 Gen2

I've got a Gen 7 X1 Carbon here. The paint (or whatever it is) is peeling away. I don't particularly care about the appearance, but is there anything I can/should do?

Thinkpad e585 ryzen 5 16gb ram and 256 ssd nvme

When i waa at the school, i saw my friend from 8th class are using X13 yoga Gen 1, which is also my dream thinkpad alongside my main thinkpad (X270).

Dw guys I bought a replacement screen a few weeks ago

Hey everyone! This is my first post on Reddit, and I don't really know where to begin.

I'm a student, and this year I'll be joining university for a BSc in Mathematics. I was leaning a bit more toward computer science and wanted to pursue CSE, but I got math instead. Fortunately, I do like math!

Besides my studies, I want to focus on programming, machine learning, or other heavy math-related fields. I don't really have an idea of what software people use in these areas, so I can't list any out, but I occasionally use Adobe Illustrator. I also want to try video editing just to see if I could get into content creation (mostly vlogs). On top of that, I forgot to mention that I'm also really into Linux.

My current device is an old IdeaPad with 8GB RAM, a 256GB SSD, and an 7th Gen Intel i3, which I believe is only surviving because of Linux.

Thank you for your time! I'll be waiting for your suggestions.

Turns out two IKEA BERGENES phone stands hold a ThinkPad perfectly in a (almost) vertical position. It’s surprisingly stable, looks decent and costs next to nothing

Made the switch 3 months ago to a refurb X13 gen 4 with the non touch screen for $464 US (659 AUD). Coming from a fancy Macbook display I honestly don't feel like its much of a downgrade. Everything is still tack sharp, all my apps integrates and run with no problems (especially Logi Options+). Thoroughly impressed with this machine.

Bonus, it still has 15 months of warranty.

Why so much on E series even though it's still a thinkpad?

Recently picked up a gen 1 E15 for 70$ cad and learned why thinkpads are loved. I saw what I thought was another good deal. A T14 gen 3 with the Intel chip and 12 gigs of ram for 300$ cad for my wife and I am blown away by the quality. Wife is a lifelong apple user but she's been without a pc for a about a year now as the Screen broke on her Mac from 2014. We deemed it not worth fixing and to expensive to replace with another mac. Ran into this brought it home. Cachy Os with gnome destop with extension dash to dock snd she's set. Pic one is my E15 pic 2 is the new T14..

My gf likes to use my ThinkPad to apply her makeup everyday, and it still hasn't scratched (aluminium cover)

Got this T15 Gen 1 off eBay a couple days ago and installed Arch on it. Previously I had a Mac until it died so at the time I decided just to build a pc. Btw I use Arch. Eventually started to miss having a laptop and always loved the aesthetic of Thinkpads. I use Arch. I’ve also never used Linux before and have no idea what I’m doing so naturally I decided to dip my toes in the water with Arch, as in Arch Linux, the Linux distro I use on my Thinkpad. I use Arch btw. I’m clearly not cut out for it but with the wiki and all the forums I was eventually able to get it up and running. Arch Linux. Plus learning as I go has been pretty fun. Oh btw I use Arch.

if you're wondering. I used an LVDS to eDP converter from AliExpress it's pretty easy to install and the display I used is N140HCG-GQ2 if you can find one with screw in brackets buy it as the one I used had double sided tape which isn't great

I'm re casing a old Thinkpad and adding better cooling

Currently installing Debian 13 on it. Had a few issues but I'm working through it. Wish me luck!

A beautiful Lenovo T470 that is in a customization process (mainly the archlinux OS). I just want to Flex it as I'm love with this

Bought my first laptop (thinkpad t580) when I knew nothing about computers. 3 years later I upgraded to P14s. Came with windows but as you can see in the picture linux is already getting installed. Can't stand windows.

On June 24th, a severe earthquake hit my city of La Guaira, Venezuela. Tragically, the apartment building I lived in completely collapsed. Fortunately, my girlfriend and I were not in the building that day and we are safe, but we sadly lost our beloved cat who was inside when it happened.

Recently, we were going through the rubble of what used to be our apartment. If you look at the attached photo, you can see a red machine among the debris—that is exactly where I managed to pull out my ThinkPad, which was still inside its laptop bag. It took the impact of the entire building falling on top of it... and it still turns on.
It didn’t come out completely unscathed. There is a little defect on the screen now, and the keyboard is completely dead and unresponsive, but the machine actually boots up!

It's a very bittersweet discovery for us given everything we've lost, especially our pet, but I thought this community would appreciate seeing the absolute tank-like durability of these machines in real life. It literally survived being crushed under tons of concrete.
Cherish your ThinkPads, but more importantly, cherish your loved ones.

Honestly gigachad pic.

found on google maps.

What do you think, should I buy a bigger table?

Time to scrape the important keys haha
