My first ThinkPad to replace my MacBook Pro 2015. Very happy and feel excited about the community
Hello, I’ve just received my very first ThinkPad today. Perfection! I can now understand why there’s a whole community around ThinkPad, especially T series. Before this beauty, I used MacBook Pro 2015, but the screen was broken 1-2 months ago, and I had to patch it with OCLP to use with external monitor (LG 27UP850N-W). Last week I decided to order new laptop for a new time because I don’t do graphic design things anymore, I do coding instead. I got advice from my friend who is senior/architect level in software engineer. He told me that most of the companies he worked gave ThinkPad to employees from junior to director, lol. I also received good suggestion from the seller who told me the truth that my initial idea of HP Zbook power G11 can’t competed to ThinkPad regarding build. The first impression is so good. It’s very light, and smooth open/close. The experience with plugging ports is just wow with the convenient angle. The laptop sits perfectly into the vertical dock (Ugreen I used for my MacBook as well). The USB-C for charging and video signal at the same time is mind blown to me after 10 years using old laptop, lol. And the best thing is that I don’t even hear the fan noise at all. I play GW2 game 2-3 days a week. With MBP 2015, with low setting, it was 99% GPU and 6k RPM fan. With ThinkPad, same setting, only 60-70% GPU and no fan noise! Can’t wait to carry around this baby. It’s actually similar to a book!
