My ideal Mobile work setup
+
First of all, sorry for the lack of consistent posting on this website, I've been busy working on
Youtube, school, and other personal crap that I won't get into.
Recently, I've been contemplating the idea of selling my Thinkpad t450s to buy a Thinkpad T440p, for a multitude of reasons.
This isn't my first thinkpad actually, the first one was a T450 that my dad gave me, it was in pretty rough shape and it even sparked on me while i tried to plug in the charger, eventually, the laptop just kinda died and I needed a replacement, so I bought this 450s accidentally while searching for a 450, my dad insisted that I had to buy it refurbished instead of used on ebay, which then lead me to spend waaaay to much for this shit.
This laptop just sucks, I hate it, it overheats, it's not really upgradable and the screen is this shitty TN panel which loks horrible, the fans get really loud when i load something very css-intensive like YouTube.
These are the main reasons why I decided that I want to switch to a T440p, but it's not just frustration, but also because the t440p is packed with features that i really like.
for starters, the t440p has an upgradable cpu which can go up to an i7 4th gen, 2 ram slots and a replacable screen that doesn't suck, some models even have a fingerprint scanner which you can just transplant on your model if you need.
And on top of that, there is also the possibility to coreboot or libreboot it so that I can remove intel's fucking stupid ahh backdoor inside my cpu.
The best deal i found was 110 euros (shipping included) which i could try to lower down by asking the seller to remove the ssd and/or ram (since I already have plenty).
