@itsfoss recent #Lenovo #Thinkpad #Laptop like T14 Gen 5 has pretty decent #repairability score:

ifixit.com/repairability/lapto

Not as good as #framework but it is still good to have alternatives.

Be aware of proprietary binary blobs in #firmware and #bios hence I can recommend to also have a look here for other great #laptops:
coreboot.org/

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 (released in 2024) has a ifixit repairability score of 9/10. Some pros: Storage and memory are readily repairable/upgradeable using industry-standard parts. The battery is easily replaced, and the keyboard replacement procedure is best-in-class. Overall high modularity, apart from a handful of soldered ports and a bundled fan/heat sink assembly.

Would I be better replacing the screen (again) & installing #linux on my current laptop, or getting a second hand macbook?

I'm current on Windows 11 on an Asus Zenbook Duo with:
11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7.
16.0 GB ram.

I love that my current laptop has a 2nd mini screen, it is very useful for me.
It does seem to get very hot since the screen was changed last time - but it is also 4 years old.

I don't like Apple stuff but a friend said it's much more powerful.

Ich brauche eure Hilfe. Ihr seid doch so gut mit Technik hier.
Ich brauche für die Berufsschule entweder Laptop oder Tablet. Wollte eigentlich ein Tablet aber eine Freundin hat mir gesagt das ist gar nicht so geil wenn man viel mit Texten machen muss. Das muss ich, auch relativ viel Excel.
Was könnt ihr dazu sagen?? Gerne auch teilen damit ich paar mehr Kommentare bekomme :ablobcatheart:

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.

I found this video youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?

I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.
