Could be. I do have some significant Thinkpad experience (going back to the IBM days) and I do know that they will not alter the model number regardless of what’s in the machine, but you can pull a build sheet from their website with the serial number. Do you know if your HPs could have had this happen? Was your distributor HP or elsewhere? (Not hating, just curious!)
Capacity loss over time is a decent idea. The 2nd Gen machine has an 11th Gen chip, vs 10th Gen in the Gen 1, and quiet possibly is able to burn more power quicker as well. Thinkpad power consumption is also definable in the BIOS or Vantage software for many of them, so those settings all could vary.
Normally I’d be happy to help troubleshoot this sort of thing but frankly I’m not sure OP was looking to chat.
You should contact Lenovo and let them know their spec sheets are wrong. Because they say exactly what I just said.
Not my problem if you have aftermarket modifications to them.
I have a T580 and a T15g2 and the T580 is 100% a more rugged build–not even close.
The T15 is way lighter, so maybe that feels like stiffness?
G1s do not just “have brighter screens” than Gen 2. Those are spec-able options.
G1 had three screens, 250nit, 300nit, 500nit (4k only)
G2 had three screens, 300nit, 300nit, 600nit (4k only)
Both have the same 57wh battery. Not sure what you’re talking about there.
Yes, shared joy is double joy. Where’s the question?
I had the same laugh. So tone-deaf.
Light slaps like you’re packing a can of dip.
I mean it pretty clearly says that User insights will be put into development and user benefit is first.
…will that happen? Well. Probably not. But I hope so.
It’s true, my wife is autistic and can’t even eat a single food meal. She has to have a side or something.
I’m the opposite, she used to constantly question me for taking the exact same lunch for YEARS hahaha.
In case it’s not clear, we are both legitimately autistic.
Idk if this was in the movie as I didn’t watch it. But if the thing they’re attached to us hardened steel a hacksaw wouldn’t have a chance of going through it. It would wear the teeth right off.
As other have said, please do an SSD swap.
If it’s “unbearably slow” that is an indication of drive failure especially on old boot drives. Linux will not fix this.
After that, Cinnamon if they like windows. Gnome if they don’t or don’t care.
Pop os is a great “fire and forget” OS for normal users. I work in a computer shop and have seen tons of not-knowledgable people run it without issues.
Good, keep the prices low for the smart people who do.
That’s the name of the program. You can search it and it’ll pop right up. It is now owned by Cooler Master.
Once you download it, you can run either the CPU Srress test or the Linpack test (this is for Intel mostly as it is their proprietary test) and it’ll run while looking for math or WHEA errors.
While you’re doing science, I would also recommend doing a RAM test with memtest86+. You download the .iso and make a bootable drive, and boot into it. Both RAM and CPU can make similar weird failures so checking both is a decent idea.
Partially dead CPUs can absolutely still POST and boot. I work in a PC repair shop and see it all the time. Everything will work totally “fine” and you’ll get weird errors here and there similarly to failing RAM. You have to run a dedicated CPU test like the ones in OCCT (Windows-based, don’t lynch me) or similar to see if you’re getting WHEA or other errors.
The reason for this is that a lot of CPUs have built in redundancy to get around having imperfect silicon, and sometimes that is enough to make the system still work, but not be quite “right”.
The good news is, if you are producing such errors, you usually have a 3yr warranty on most CPUs and the OEM will RMA them for you.
I got the context I was looking for from the other comment but I knew you were trying to be kind/helpful so I was attempting to reciprocate! :)
No worries, I didn’t take it as super literal. But I always saw all the “Rule” posts and was curious.
Don’t have that type of two-to-one in LEGO bricks. You’d need a 1x2 plate and then plug the head stud into the middle indexing pin of said plate.
