As my followers may remember, I bought a refurbished ThinkPad T490s from the German retailer Thinkstore24.de at the beginning of June. It looked like new, but unfortunately it had defective speakers and I made a complaint about it.

Thinkstore24 immediately sent me a return label for UPS, two days later it was back at the dealer, who repaired it and sent it back on Monday. It arrived today and everything is finally working. Really fast, competent and problem-free service, chapeau!

Windows 11 Pro is still pre-installed on a small 256 GB SSD, but I still have a 1 TB Samsung SSD lying around, so I'm going to put that in and Fedora Linux on it! Let's get started!
