Hi, I've been looking for an upgrade from my old IdeaPad with 4GB RAM, a Pentium Gold 7505 and 128GB of NVMe storage. It's pretty annoying using it because all I can really do on it is watch YouTube as long as I don't open any other tabs. I've been looking specifically at the T480, the revered "last good thinkpad" that I've heard mixed opinions about, but I'm very open to other suggestions. I absolutely intend to mod it heavily, screen, ram, ssd, keyboard and all the rest of it. I'll be using Linux on it (of course), and with the improved system I'll probably play some CS:S or Gmod if it plays well and generally enjoy the much improved user experience.
Any suggestions are welcome, so thank you. I'm also pretty new to Reddit, I've probably got loads of stuff wrong, so please correct me on stuff. Also if I sound like I have no idea what I'm talking about then feel free to just show me my place and recommend a chromebook or something. Thanks for reading!
