"If you bought a ThinkPad between 1995 and 2017, it was probably designed under the oversight of David W. Hill, who served as lead designer under both IBM and Lenovo for those 22 years. We caught up with Hill, who today runs his own firm, ThinkNext Design, to talk about the history of ThinkPad, what drove him to make key design decisions, and the products he wanted to come out with but just couldn't."

Lenovo is preparing to launch a 12.1 inch tablet with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in China. It will most likely come to other markets in the future, although probably with a different name. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-reveals-more-details-about-its-new-lightweight-flagship-tablet-before-release.1060742.0.html#Lenovo#Tablet#LenovoXiaoxinAITabletProGT

Every time I set up a new laptop with #opensuse #tumbleweed #linux, I am so excited about the power of #opensource. The little refurbished #lenovo#T14s I got only took 5 minutes to install from an old USB stick. I swear that I needed more time to unpack, locate an Ethernet cable and find my way in the BIOS to set up USB boot than the system itself took for installing. Awesome.

Anybody talking about #Win11#Windows11 #microsoft Well, folks, Linux hardware will become much cheaper now.

Dreaming of getting my hands on a Lenovo ThinkPad X201 tablet someday! Imagine the possibilities with a clean install of Slackware. That legendary keyboard and robust build would be perfect for a lightweight and customizable Linux experience. Anyone in Brazil 🇧🇷 know where to find these gems? Let's make it happen! 🤩
