  • When it comes to decisions like this, I usually make a list with my options, create some categories (e.g. durability, longevity, performance, …), rate each option for each category and then divide each option’s points by its price to see its value. If they’re fairly similar, I would take the time I’d need to save up for them into account.

    In general, I would always want to go for A) upgrading what I already have or B) getting something used for the sake of sustainability.

    You could look at some more used ThinkPad options like a T470 or a T480. They can often be found for cheap refurbished on eBay. I would also take a look at online benchmarks to see what fits your requirements. In my experience, that works better than looking at spec sheets.

















  • Does this guy know about you publishing this? At least tell me it’s a fake name.

    Edit: I just went through a few of your posts and this is just really creepy, especially the one with Hitler’s silverware is weird to me…

    This is all so weird. The quotes are very unnatural at times. “I am really concerned over your purchase of Adolf Hitler’s cutlery.” for example.

    Why do you mention the guy’s name in every title and every post? Is this some weird obsession?

    Also, did you get permission to mention the people’s full names in your posts? If you tell weird – maybe even incriminating – stories about someone, you shouldn’t just casually mention their full name without permission.
