Lenovo Legion 2024, i7, nv4060, 32GB RAM.
Best laptop I've ever bought.
First thing I did after opening the box was nuke the harddrive and install linux mint. Everything worked out of the box, including the Lenovo hotkeys for changing between cooling/performance schemas.

It is. Powerful enough for everything I do and then some, while at the same time being surprisingly lightweight and portable for when I'm out and about.

A Lenovo 2in1, bought without much research after my previous device died unexpectedly

It's decent and it has fewer issues than my old ones

Things I want to change next time

  • can't upgrade the RAM on this one, and it's just barely enough these days
  • I barely use the touchscreen, and a separate tablet would have been better

Framework 16 with a 7840HS and the RX 7700S GPU module. Quite happy, although it can get pretty loud under heavy load. The real benefits will come with time, of course, as the Framework's strengths are in repairability and upgradeability.

[–] curiousPJ@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Still waiting for the liquid metal replacement to the phase change pad. There has been reports of overheating issues for a long time now and Framework finally acknowledged it.

Lenovo ThinkPad T495. It is definitely not an IBM ThinkPad 😕 But it does the job well enough that I can't motivate an upgrade.

[–] Phoonzang@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Second that notion about not being IBM. Currently on a quite new Carbon X1 (from '24), because my previous one (five years old) started having issues (internal monitor flickering, staying black for some time, keyboard falling apart...), which was in turn a replacement for a T430s. That was preceeded by a T400s. The T4x0s still run without issue, so I found quite the drop in quality from the Ts to the X1s, especially the keyboard.

All of those of course were no match for my trusty old T43, that was one beast of a machine.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y500, bought in 2017. I've added an SSD at some point and it's still chugging along, but it's starting to show its age.

An old surface pro with no functional battery. It's fine. It was very cheap second hand.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

LOL, same! I've got a Surface Pro 4, which has become a perfect example of !spicypillows@lemmy.world. It still boots fine, though, which is impressive.

2011 macbook air with Linux Mint. I'm very happy with it, the lil thing is a champ.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago

Currently with a T480s. I don't really use it much, I'm on my desktop most of the time, but it does the job.

[–] remon@ani.social 4 points 11 months ago

MBP 2019, i9, Radeon Pro 5500M, 32GB RAM.

Still going strong. It also doubles as a space heater.

Starlabs star book very happy with it. Best linux laptop to date ive purchased. Havent tried framework.

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I have like eight hundred of those

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Welcome to Lemmy!

Please elaborate on your eight hundred laptops.

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would describe them as small, battery-powered computers

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What circumstances led you to acquire eight hundred laptops?

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It takes eight hundred laptops to run Tesseract?

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I don't know but they all came from a tesseract

[–] BurningFurnace@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I don't have any. And remember: "Sharing is caring" 😉

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Early 2015 13" Retina MacBook Pro with a 512Gb SSD.

I'm extremely happy with it. I wish I didn't like it because of Apple, but there's not a single bad thing I can say about it. It has worked flawlessly the entire +7 years I've had it. Not a single issue. None.

[–] Awebo@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

16 inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip. Got it from work and use it for both work and for myself. Really happy with it.

[–] ShiverMeTimbers@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I don't have a laptop.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

ThinkPad T530. I've bought a newer one but the build quality is so shite compared to the old one so I don't use it.

I wanna upgrade but I seriously can't find a better laptop
