Lenovo thinkpad t480s

I just love her. The tasteful matte textured plastic on the outside case, reminiscent of pebbled leather… the sturdy thoughtful construction, light weight, and sleek minimal design… the 90s businessman aesthetic. The mysterious keyboard clitoris. the easily upgradable RAM, the snappy performance, the fact that it was like $200 on eBay, certified refurbished with a one-year warranty. I use an LG Gram for work which costs like $1,000 but this thing blows it out of the water and is so much more beautiful and pleasurable to use. I used to be a huge Mac OSX person but after Windows 11 I’m kind of a Microsoft-head 🫦

Laptop Recs

10 years is such a feat! I gotta say, Apple still holds value more than most these days. My day job is in tech support, and I've seen lots of Macs and PCs over the years. There was a period from about 2017-2020 where the Mac laptops were just awful - they had the useless touch bar thing, and the low-profile keyboards broke constantly. After that, they did another redesign, and it seems like their stuff is high quality again. As for PCs, maybe there are some higher end ones people like, but I have seen way more issues with build quality and longevity in those (Dells, Lenovos, and Microsoft Surfaces). It seems like on average most PCs last around 5 years, and Macs get a solid 7 (or 10!) They're definitely more expensive, but when you factor in how long they last, it's pretty comparable.

Install linux

If you install a lightweight Linux distro on it you'll find it's still perfectly usable for everyday things, and maybe even more :)

Every time I use this site I really like it but I constantly forget or get busy with something else. Being able to easily use it on my phone without getting lost in tabs would be great

Your friends have the right idea

Would highly recommend travelling, I did it last year knowing I'd hate it but thought it's something I should do, ended up being the best thing I've ever done
