14 year old Thinkpad I got this T510 first gen of core i5. It looked so pristine when I bought it from a dealer for 80 bucks.

What older small thinkpad should I get?
I wanted to get another small (10-12 inch) thinkpad to go alongside my X120e, but I don’t know what model to get, so I figured why not ask here. What little thinkpad should I get?
(I want it to be able to run Debian with KDE plasma, as I have some silly customization ideas for it. Aside from that I don’t care).

Considering buying this. It’s in “good” condition and the specs would meet my needs perfectly. Worth it?

Is this a good price for a ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 AMD
Price is in Euro Germany. Currently owning a T14 Gen 3 with 16gb ram and 1245u. The reason i want to upgrade is, that i use a dual 4k monitor setup, which i feel like is too much for the igpu of the 1245u. i am using fedora linux and do mostly programming. i dont mind the soldered ram since the 7840u would benefit of it and i have plenty of ssds at home. But i am not sure about the low power display if it makes a difference.

Once again grappling between thinkpad design vs the power of a gaming laptop
So I'm on the verge of re-buying a T14s gen 4 AMD after sending my previous one back. The asus G14 I was looking at about a month ago is also on sale, albeit more expensive than the thinkpad by about 120ish dollars. Spent some time at best buy poking and prodding at it.
I'm moving a lot between home, grad school and work. The thinkpad handles the school/work no problem. I'm aware of the "vocal minority" syndrome that every product to ever exist has, but I don't think it's a coincidence that asus gaming laptops have no shortage of issues cropping up compared to thinkpads. Plus, I've used thinkpads for a long time. I like thinkpads, not much else to say on that.
I don't want to build a desktop or lug around a gaming laptop, but I would like to enjoy some games at smooth medium instead of "barely playable" for once. Fully aware thinkpads aren't gaming machines, but the 7840u literally has the same igpu as the gaming laptop. Has anyone explored what the realistic limit is, or if there's going to be serious throttling issues? There's a few benchmarks, but I don't have a point of reference since my T480s can't even try to run most games. The folks in the gaming computer subs seem to overestimate my standards, hoping to hear the thinkpad perspective.
​
tl;dr If the new T14s can game comfortably at native resolution medium for majority of games, I'll stick to thinkpad. I'm happy just getting to try stuff. If it's just going to be a minimum settings struggle all over again like my T480s, I may take the leap of faith. How do any of the casual thinkpad gamers here feel about it?

How much for a refurbished T480?
Hello guys
I have the opportunity to get a refurbished T480 for around 320€
I have no sense for pricing, but making an offer is possible with this dealer.
Here are the key specs: I5-8350U, 32GB RAM, 1080p 480GB NVMe SSD, different keyboard
layout with stickers to match my language and preinstalled Win 10 Pro
There is nothing else known.
But will ask him about all the accessories/ fine details like 2nd battery, battery capacity, IPS display etc.
Any additional question from you guys would be appreciated.

Undervolting no longer possible? BIOS downgrade blocked!
Trying to extend battery life + lower temperatures by undervolting X280. This thread shows good results from doing so + other threads for T480 say the same thing.
According to this comment, BIOS must be downgraded to pre-plundervolt mitigations.
Plundervolt came in Nov/Dec 2019 (source) so looking at x280 bios update txt log the version required is 1.30. All versions available here from Lenovo.
Despite successfully downgrading to 1.33, I cannot get 1.30 to install either with mkusbkey.bat or from within Windows.
Do I need a SOIC8 + RPi to downgrade to 1.30 and earlier?
Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? All thoughts/opinions very welcome.
