Adding T480 as my backup but may end up my primary.

I’ve been lurking all week using this sub for research.

For the last decade I’ve been a Mac user. In June I abandoned Mac for a new System76 laptop (i7/32gb/500ssd) and it has been great running Pop_os. However, this week I dropped it AND a coffee simultaneously. The bounce opened up the display and the coffee fried the LCD.

I’m a freelance software craftsman so I scrambled to get an old Mac up and running and it’s too slow to be productive. I just ordered a refurbished T480 from amazon with 16gb and 512ssd. After my research I bet that if I had dropped a thinkpad I wouldn’t have had half the headache. I’m not slamming S76, it’s a good machine, just not as durable of a case.

Thanks to this sub for providing a great archive of info. I have a feeling one I upgrade this one to 32gb ram it’ll be my main computer.
