That is very strange. I wonder how that decision got made. But funnily enough, that is the exact reason I went for the T16 over the Z16, which was priced similarly during the sale I took advantage of for this. I could have swallowed the lack of USB-A ports, because docks are not that expensive where I live, but for fuck's sake. Give me rj45 or give me death.

Thank you; I am enjoying it very much so far. It blows my 5-year-old Acer Nitro 5 out of the water. I hope you enjoy yours too.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I haven't really had a chance to push this machine very much, so I can't say from experience whether it's really better.

Awesome. Now here's hoping neither of us drop our brand new machines on the ground.

This is my first ever Thinkpad, so I can't be disappointed by the comparison. What I can compare it to, though, is my old Acer Nitro 5, and it is miles ahead of that one. The build quality, the keyboard, everything is superior on the Thinkpad.

Naturally. I have the Arch logo tattooed on my forehead.

I might die of excitement now, though.

Why, is the Intel option sub-par? I just got the AMD version because my older laptop has NVIDIA hybrid graphics, which is a serious pain in the ass on Linux. I also wanted to play with Wayland. But why do you dislike the Intel version?

I really want to reply to this post sincerely, but that other reply just takes the cake.

Thanks. I'm already having so much fun. My older laptop has NVIDIA hybrid graphics, so I was actually a bit flabbergasted at how little I had to do to get Linux working properly on this thing.

Nice, I'm happy that you enjoy your machine. I hope it continues to bring you joy for years to come.

I had a budget, Lenovo in my country was having a massive sale, and this is my first Thinkpad, so I have nothing to compare it to.
