7 days agoThe craziest thing for me is how some people cling to propaganda, even when it doesn’t match their lived reality.
A friend of mine still insists that electric cars are [insert any cliché you know], and that they can’t make it up a hill once the battery is even slightly drained.
…
We’ve been on several road trips in an electric car.
With four dogs in a trailer.
All across Germany and even the Czech Republic.
And we (another friend who owns the electric road-trip car and me with my “city”-car) charge it at home, where we have a solar system and a heat pump.
And yet, every now and then “this can’t work”. The dissonance is real.
I use the T14s G6, running Fedora Silverblue, as my only PC. I bought it mainly for its AMD 880M iGPU, which just hits the performance I need for the few games I still play, as well as its mobility so I can blender on the go (and because I got fed up with the seemingly endless hiccups from my ASUS G14).
It’s good. No issues I know of. The display is a bit slow even for a 60Hz panel, but the battery life is stellar (probably also because of the slow panel).
However, if it’s static, as you say, I’m not sure if a small desktop PC wouldn’t be the better choice overall. After all, modern ThinkPads are pretty expensive.
