  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Maybe not quite what you are driving at, but I lovingly caress my little Thinkpad every day.

    4+ year old Yoga X380 - ~$1200 new (too much IMO), I picked it up refurbished for $200 (a mother effing bargain) a year ago.

    I have an RTX2080 based Asus machine that's going to my son this weekend because I don't have time to game much these days, and this nice little Lenovo has gone from "use it in the kitchen or on the go" to my main computer in that time.

    Gorgeous display, very comfortable keyboard, touchscreen, stylus, fingerprint reader, folds back for tablet mode (keyboard retracts for protection when you do), very portable, decent array of ports, and pretty damn good specs for two hundred bucks. Has been rocking Manjaro from the moment it came home. The only thing I haven't tested is the fingerprint reader, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't work.

    My mom recently wanted a cheap laptop and sent me a list of two hundred dollar machines she was looking at from Walmart - not one was within miles of this thing, so now she's got one and loves it too. (It even performs pretty well with Windows, I must reluctantly admit.)

    Asus and Lenovo are the first two brands I look for when I need anything they make - and generally I can always find something I'm happy with, at a good value, and often refurbished.

    It's not a powerhouse, but it's perfect for what I'm doing with a computer at home most of the time these days, and it's truly a joy to use.

    Solid machine. I'd still be using mine if only the RAM was upgradable.

    Yeah, more RAM would be nice for sure.

    Does it run Coreboot though?
