| Mooncairn | I'm thinking about buying a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad P53 and throwing Debian or Ubuntu on it. | 19:27 |
|---|---|---|
| Mooncairn | The specs guide says Ubuntu LTS is supported, so I'm hoping all the fiddly bits work (power control, fan control, etc.). | 19:29 |
| Mooncairn | Guide is here for those who are curious: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P53/ThinkPad_P53_Spec.PDF | 19:29 |
| Mooncairn | Anybody know of a reason NOT to get it? | 19:29 |
| jrwren | looks pretty sweet to me. | 19:31 |
| jrwren | its HUGE | 19:31 |
| jrwren | thick | 19:31 |
| jrwren | heavy | 19:31 |
| jrwren | but if it is mostly going to sit at the same spot on a desk, totally fine. | 19:32 |
| Mooncairn | I intend to take it places. Mostly friends' places and coffee shops. | 19:33 |
| Mooncairn | I've already been lugging around an ancient Macbook Pro that's probably almost as bulky, so that shouldn't be too bad. | 19:34 |
| Mooncairn | Nice! The Thinkpad is actually a pound lighter than the MBP. | 19:35 |
| greg-g | +1 to lighter being great, I like boxy | 19:39 |
| jrwren | I like my 3lb notebooks, not 6lb laptops ;) | 20:08 |
| Mooncairn | Yea, now that I think about it, I might wait for a deal on a slimmer and less beefy unit. I'm reading that the P53 runs *HOT*. | 20:52 |
| Scary_Guy | I'd run Mint, specifically LMDE but regular is fine too. | 20:59 |
| Scary_Guy | I also hear great things about PopOS! | 20:59 |
