College laptops:
Get a Thinkpad and install windows 10 (or 11 if you're willing to be ballsy) and it'll work fine

@kirby throw the thinkpad in the trash and get one of HP or dell's business lineup
@skylar is it more affordable than the Thinkpad, because I've been using Thinkpads for some time and being dirt cheap and reliable really makes me like them a lot
@kirby "reliable" died ages ago, now it's cheap chinese garbage that competes with $150 walmart shitboxes but coasts off IBM's reputation
@Forestofenchantment
Yeah, I know they are probably not THAT bad, especially if you compare them to the competition, but I'm just too comfy with old hardware — I'm just scared of the thought of getting something new, too many things to get used to… Like soldered-in RAM. To me even integrated audio being USB would feel weird.

They've also become better, also. First x1 Carbons were ASS. But the newer Yogas? Not too shabby :marseythumbsup:
