im looking into replacing my current x230 and framework laptop with an old thinkpad.
my requirements are: great linux support, compact (as much it can), alum or metallic body.
good to have: boxy look, model after 2018, coreboot/libreboot (i doubt new models are supported but one can dream)
does this thing exists?
The t480 was the last thinkpad with a useable CPU and a rich feature set (dual battery, removable battery, replaceable ram, ability to use a 2nd SSD via the wan slot). Linux support is great and libreboot support was just released for it.
I also have a newer amd x13 thinkpad. Sure the overall performance is better but the keyboard is not as good, s3 sleep battery drain sucks, and it takes forever to boot up
Thx for the news the t480 has libreboot support! I’d missed it. I love my t480 for all the reasons listed. It made computing a joy again
whaa the t480 has coreboot support now? amazing
My t480’s keyboard keeps falling out but that’s probably not supposed to happen.
