    well it isn't a powerhouse but it ain't a slouch
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Previous PC I had was a HP microtower from 2012 running Win '10.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    An SSD and CPU upgrade ran it pretty well.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I own a powerful gaming PC.
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    it also has a dual battery system btw, kinda like other thinkpads but you have to open the machine to replace them
    working on the insides of this laptop is really easy btw
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't necessarily use it for gaming but it helps me to run virtual machines and other stuff.
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    @SylverReZ ah
    okay and okay
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Badcatalex, I like the sound of that.
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    basically you just screw off the bottom and bam everything is fixable
     +1
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    it also has an official
    hardware repair guide
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    as all thinkpads do
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    as well as an official parts list
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Even better.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad you're happy about that.
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    They're called HMMs, or Hardware Mainte
    nance Manuals
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    they include diagrams of the system and an exploded diagram of the computer
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Badcatalex, I know what those are.
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    ThinkPads are cheap btw
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    eBay is full of them and as long as they don't have Computrace enabled (computer tracking stuff)
    they are great
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    The ones that are parts and/or not working are from what I can see.
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    companies use them for three years or so
    before they are dumped on the market
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    nah you can find lots of working ones if you look carefully
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    but it depends on the gen
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    T480 for example is from 2018 and is common nowadays
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I could prob look on a car boot to find any that is cheap.
