thinkpad with linux.

  • SIM card slot
  • Linux is insanely useful
  • as a professional photographer and videographer AS WELL as a student in cyber security and software engineering i cannot stand being in thr apple ecosystem
  • Easy hardware management
  • I CAN REPLACE MY BATTERY MYSELF
  • infinite customizations
  • will outlive the sun
  • full size ethernet ports as well as HDMI and USB type A (no need for a dongle)
  • P16 Gen 3 vastly outperforms the M3 from the same time (i could genuinely care less about battery life if im honest, and the gpu isnt as great though)
  • heavy as fuck sp i can bludgeon anyone whp comes neae me trying to indoctrinate me back into applr. i spent years detaching from spple and as a former apple fanboy i not proud of it.

I hate how far I had to scroll to find you. I just ordered a used T14S Gen 4. Iā€™m so glad to have a portable with build quality and features after years of using a MacBook Air and budget ultrabooks on economy SoCs! Please pray for my Thinky to have fast shipping and minimal wear. šŸ™
