thinkpad

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a great laptop, but it comes with some discrete GPU challenges.

My new T490 with a 10th generation Intel CPU and a discrete NVIDIA MX250 has arrived! Installing Linux creates some interesting challenges.

My new ThinkPad arrived this week and it is working well!

My upgrade to Fedora 22 on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon was fairly uneventful and the hiccups were minor.

The X1 Carbon’s touchpad has been my nemesis in Linux for quite some time because of its high sensitivity.

Although the X1 Carbon has a much better looking display than the T430s, it still looked a bit washed out when I compared it to other monitors right next to it.

This post covers the second half of my experience moving back to a Linux desktop but I figured it was a good opportunity to focus on the ThinkPad T430s itself as well as the Lenovo ordering experience.
