Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

    what they said but don’t go below T480; the performance jump is huge (quad vs dual-core) and the price difference is negligible while almost everything is interchangeable (screens, keyboards, cards, plastic parts, dock stations, etc.).

    T480 should be attainable around the $/€ 200 mark nowadays as they’re 5-6 gens behind and upgrading 'em to like 16 or 32 GB and 1TB NVMe or more is stupid cheap.

      that’s right, the T480 is the best upgradable thinkpad there is, you can even up the ram to 64gb
