My boss gifted me an old thinkpad x31 - Lemmy.World

ofc I imediatly upgraded it from winxp to gnu/linux

Very cool. I love those IBM Thinkpads. Fuck lenovo
the older lenovo models aren’t bad, but the shit they pump out recently is well, shit
I thought Lenovo was two different brands, one consumer (terrible) and one corporate (decent). Is that no longer true?

Still rings true a little, their quality is far better than their competitors though. I've had a lot less issues with the functionality of lenovo laptops over the crap acer or asus or dell produce.

It kinda became muddled around the X1 Carbon when they decided that thin chasis = better, and then started cutting features

I had to do a battery replacement on the L480. They had top-notch support on what part number to order, video guide on how to properly disassemble the case, remove ribbon cables, etc etc etc. I wish all companies had that kind of support.
