Frigid Crystal Tormented WrathOct 9

Community Reminder:

Many companies are going to be shedding windows 10 laptops and desktops without modern TPM Modules.

Its a good time to go out and save some of these systems from becoming e-waste. I just picked up an old thinkpad for $50, it's a win-win.

@Rasp so a dual core intel, I guess if you're patient it might be ok-ish for very light use

@tofu I basically just need it to function as a web browser. It's my go out and do some writing pc. I did put linux on it... I mean it came with linux but I switched to my preferred distro

and its been very snappy from what little testing I've done.

Like the browser on my AM5 system is just as snappy.

@Rasp huh, I guess people have different levels of sensitivity to this, my T480 felt so dog slow I just straight up upgraded to a modern thinkpad, because it was unpleasant in web browser use, and I wouldn't want to make myself compile stuff on it
