    I’ve been a ThinkPad user for about 4 years now, got a second-hand T470s running Fedora. It’s been an amazing experience! I’m not one for brand loyalty, but (so long as Lenovo doesn’t fuck them up) ThinkPads will always be my first choice for a laptop.

      I’ve been wandering the laptop desert for a few years now. Lenovo, Dell, System76, Framework, StarLabs.

      I’m currently on a Dell Pro 13, but the keyboard really sucks and the hardware isn’t fully Linux compatible.

      StarLabs had keyboard issues and terrible battery life.

      Framework seems like Linux was an after thought. Their HiDPI display isn’t fully Linux compatible.

      I recently got my parents an X13 and everything just works. Camera, Bluetooth, graphics, display. All good.

      I prefer 13in screens, but I’ll take the repairability of the T14 gen 7!

      Yeah I like Lenovo in general too! I have an Ideapad rather than a Thinkpad, but this is my second Lenovo and they’ve both lasted for ages, never had any weird problems, played nice with Linux etc.
