Just got it today so I haven’t had much time to play with it yet. But feel free to ask me anything about it and I’ll answer when I can. The model I got has the non-touch 100% sRGB 400 nits display.
What CPU and what’s the battery life? (that might take a bit)
Also what’s your opinion on the notch?
CPU is AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360. It’s too early to form an opinion about battery life, but so far it seems promising. As we speak the battery life is 67% and it shows 7 hours remaining. This is on Linux mind you, and I’m not doing anything heavy. Will report back tomorrow.
that chip has Microsoft Pluton inside. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2024/04/16/amds-commercial-ai-pc-portfolio-integrates-microsoft-pluton-includes-microsoft-copilot/
Is that bad? Just want to know.
Did you find an answer to this? I’d like to know more.
Can you remove the keyboard like you used to?
every time i see a thinkpad i’m reminded of my first IT job cannibalizing hard drives, keyboard, screens, touchpads, and pointers from other broken thinkpads to save money and make the department’s budget balance a little bit better while the company raked in billions of dollars every quarter.
i mean to sound nostalgic more than bitter because it was FANTASTIC company to work for at the time and things like the smell of a brand new thinkpad out of its plastic or the sounds of keyboard snapping into place and the black & red aesthetic always takes me back like some old man remembering better days. lol
How much do you love the new CoPilot™ key?
LOL. I use Linux so it’s pretty useless to me. At least they didn’t remove the right control key to make room for it like they did in the new X1 Carbon! I’ll probably find a good use for it by mapping it to some shortcut or modifier.
What OS do you plan to run?
Fedora Silverblue 41.
Noice Immutability, id be intreasted to see how the hardware support is?
It’s flawless. Tried Fedora 40 live image and I think the iGPU wasn’t recognized because Gnome felt sluggish and there was no animations. Fedora 41 obviously has a more recent kernel and everything worked just fine.
