@bloodfart it doesn’t need anything. Runs great without any cooling. It’s currently in my ThinkCentre m900 tiny in place of WiFi there. I’ve had it in my T480 without issue prior to me getting the m900. I wish it’d fit in the cellular/nvme slot, but it’s a different connector.
@bolapara yeah, I plan to use this thing all up. I had one before and sold it at the height of the pandemic. Picked up another cheap with Thunderbolt issues, fixed it and trucking solid with it. It just has so much expandability.
@bitwolf This is correct- the newer Lenovos are not in the same class as the older T480. It would definitely be a thing for when/if this T480 breaks. Currently, with dual SSDs and 64GB of RAM, it's just a tough sell. If I decided to pull the wifi card, I could throw in my Coral.ai TPU. Parts have been just as swappable, really- upgraded trackpad and display thus far. I've also got a TON of ports, and I really have used them all.
I just wanted a reason to buy a Framework 13 NOW.
@bloodfart yeah, it’s all Python, and I’m not a fan of Python. It’s also older libraries so you have to make sure you’re running in a pythonenv. OR do like me and use it for Frigate with Home Assistant for camera object detection.
