#thinkpad
I mean my computer from 2020 could run this on the recommended specs, so if you're playing on a thinkpad from 2004 you may be out of luck but this is very low end.

As I dig deeper into the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 6, I wonder why it -- and so many other new laptops -- use USB-A Gen 1 ports, not Gen 2. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz www.edtittel.com/blog/usb-typ...
USB Type A Gen 1 vs 2 Tradeoffs - Ed Tittel
A surprising number of recent and current Lenovo laptops make USB Type A Gen 1 vs 2 Tradeoffs in favor of the older, slower Gen 1 ports.

They still raised prices as did Amazon. My current, new iPhone was 3x the cost of my Thinkpad.

a $600 ThinkPad runs games better than most overpriced pre-built "mid-rigs" lol lmao.

Yeah it is haha. He probably also could have run Puppy Linux on it also, which I’m tempted to try on a 300x thinkpad I have

Intel Core Ultra 7 255H Linux CPU Performance
Lenovo recently sent over their new ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 laptop for review under Linux. My Linux review on that ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 laptop will be coming up in the near future along with some other benchmarks from that premium mobile workstation. But with this being the first time I've had an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H "Arrow Lake H" device at Phoronix, here are some standalone benchmarks looking at the CPU performance of that 16-core mobile processor compared to various other Intel and AMD SoCs in different laptops while running Ubuntu Linux.

Only if you use a thinkpad

The main problem with the ThinkPad nub thing is that a lot of men had trouble finding it

Never used one but I suspect it saved space (note they still had the keyboard at the front), which is presumably the reason for the ThinkPad nub thing too. Maybe a patent/licensing issue.

I use a lock screen that takes a screenshot of my desktop and adds a blur for privacy reasons.

Apparently, running an #SDR on the device is hard to hide with a blur 😂

After the battery in my work laptop started inflating, I had to fall back on using an 8-year-old Thinkpad X270 for a few days, and what can I say: it works just fine for 95% of work tasks, probably because it a) has 16 GB RAM and b) is running Ubuntu 24.04 instead of Microsoft Bloatware (TM). 🤷 […]

买了新充电头的最爽时刻是在两个座位中间只有一个插座的地方用电脑的时候,本来旁边日本老头插着他的插头,结果好像接触不良,一直插插拔拔,我就直接掏出我的4口大插头问他要不要一起用,给日本老头开心死了外加一点点多口氮化镓震撼,不过他用的是C-C线不是A-C线已经算是跟得上时代的潮流日本老头了

然后他用的笔记本电脑还是典中典日本社畜老头标配的很精致很轻的松下本子,一直想买个玩玩,在我心里和ThinkPad差不多地位

私の幼稚園年長の時の名札横の絵柄はペンギン。担任の先生が好きなの付けて良いと言われたので。もう五十ン年前の話、
今使っているOS(Linux)の公式マスコットはtux君。私がLinuxを常用し始めたのは'98頃。今、PCの壁紙はThinkPadロゴ背景にtux君。
Suicaを買ったのは公務員退職後誘われて東京に出た時。昨年12月に御殿場駅にて返納するまで使っていた。但し旧タイプのSuicaイオカードな為、JR乗車にしか使えない代物。もちろんペンギンの絵柄はなかった(イラスト付きもあるようだが)。
一番身近にいるのはtux君だな。

This Thinkpad T16 that I have can charge through any of it's USB C ports, but they didn't put a C port on both sides so that you can choose which side you want the cable coming out of...........

yeah i saw that they can be retooled/disabled, but microsoft is great about making constant updates that reset that kind of stuff. so.... i just decided to look for an older thinkpad instead

NOS power brick: www.laptop-adapters.co.uk/thinkpad-x22... (theoretically speaking, you could also get a 20V USB-PD trigger with a 7.5x5.5mm jack if you wanted, so it can charge off USB-C bricks)
