I'm a student, X1 Yoga Gen 3 for 320 euros or something else?
I'm in my first year of uni for environmental engineering (excel, documents and maybe some modelling in the future) and it has started to become apparent that a laptop would be highly useful. ThinkPads have obviously emerged as my preferred choice.
There is an i7-8650u, 16gb, 1440p, touchscreen Gen 3 Yoga available locally for 320 euros, which I have the money right now.
Now the conundrum, our country is paying our tax rebates and I'm getting back 350€. What I'm wondering is, whether it is worth it to wait around 3 months for that money and then get a ThinkPad for around 500-600€ or is this one good enough?
Thanks :)

Integrated smartcard reader pinout for Yoga 260/370/X380/X390 X395 X13 P1 Gen 1 X1 Extreme Gen 1-2
Hi,
So I'm looking for new mods to do on my Yoga X378 and someone pointed out something could be done to use the space left by not having a smartcard reader.
I've done a bit of research and found that the Yoga 260/370/X380/X390, X395, X13, P1 gen 1, X1 Extreme gen 1 & 2 all share the exact same smartcard reader.
Is anybody on this sub which happen to own one of these models equipped with a smartcard reader can tell me how it is seen by the OS (Windows/Linux) ? Is it seen as a USB device, PCI device, or something else entirely ?
If you have any extra information about its pinout, please share it. I haven't found anything online yet (just people trying to actually use it).
Thanks.

P1 Gen 6
I’m looking for experience and advice on P1 Gen 6 model specifically. I’m coming from MacBook Pro’s almost exclusively in my personal life. The Apple Silicon is a no go, since it prevents me from virtualizing a bunch of Linux distros and Windows x64, so I’m looking for the best replacement in terms of build quality and hardware, and centered layout keyboard - I just can’t with the off-set keyboards - I know others are the exact opposite - really wish this was an option on more models.
For those of you who have experience with the P1 Gen 6 what’s your take on this machine?
- What do you love / dislike?
- Would you buy it again or go a different direction?
- How’s the battery life and fan noise?
- Anyone move away from OLED back to Higher Resolution IPS with 165Hz 500 nits brightness?
- Any one else coming from MacBook Pro?
I’m looking at this model due to the current discounts: i7-13800H, 64GB RAM, Ada 4000 and 2TB NVMe with OLED display-mobile-workstation/21fv002eus):
Appreciate the help!

Another which thinkpad should I get for uni
I’m debating between 3 computers.
The p14s g3 i7 1260p 512GBssd
The p15v g3 ryzen 7 (either the rtx or Quadro)
Or the legion y500 ryzen 7
This machine is intended purely for coding microcontrollers and some other c based languages like matlab, ms office (sadly including one note and teams), email and streaming movies from time to time. I have a desktop for gaming. I’m living further away from my university so want something I can get work done on at uni especially between lectures.
Which one would you pick or is there one that is better?
Also what is the keyboard like on them? My last laptop was a dell and the best way to describe the keyboard was it gave me the ick.

Manually replacing the cells inside a removable dead battery?
Has anyone ever tried just opening a removable battery which is on its way out and replacing the individual cells? I hear people struggling to find good batteries for an acceptable price, but why not just replace the cells then? It shouldn't be too expensive and would require basically no knowledge of the battery and maybe a soldering iron.
Most batteries are just off-the-shelf cells which you should be able to find replacements for somewhat easily.
Or is the battery "capacity" stored in the controller inside the battery which cannot be reset (which would be rather weird, because if your battery has 0% charge (100% stone dead) your battery would be fully dead anyway, so the cheaper volatile memory type would make more sense)

t460p charging problems :-(
Hiya! I have a t460p which I use to run Debian that I've been using only since January, but was bought refurbished — so I'm not actually sure how old it was.
The 120w charger I got for it was working fine for a while, actually up until yesterday. I would have to fiddle with it a bit to get it to charge — it is very loose in the socket — but when I did it would charge just fine. Unfortunately, yesterday it completely stopped charging.
I might try and get an ultra docking station, and charge it that way, but I'm not quite sure if it's compatible with the T460p (the OCM table says "P6" in the relevant cell, but I can't find a legend for what this means so I'm just confused)
1) Is it okay or normal for it to be loose in the socket? It eludes me why it is that way, because the pin in the charger and the recepticle for the pin in the socket don't seem to jiggle around.
2) Should I try and get a new charger, or a new charger socket?
3) Should I get an ultra docking station? Is it compatible?

Do numpads make the keyboard any more flimsy
Like the title said, I'm torn between 15 and 14 inch since I don't care about the numpad but also have bad vision and would rather be able to see the screen when I split into 2 tabs
That said, can someone who tried both sizes of ThinkPad compare the experience, replaceability and sturdiness between keyboard sizes, I know ThinkPads are known for their keyboards but still

Is AI hardware just marketing?
Are AI cores of new Intel, Nvidia, and AMD generation just a distraction to put higher prices, and meanwhile downgrading the speed of the hardware?
Is AI hardware actually usefull? Will it make an app run faster? Or get more (real) FPS on a game?
So, do the new ThinkPad generation worth the upgrade?
