This is your answer, OP.

As a backup you can have a VM with Windows and the full apps if you need them (like Access for instance).

I like your build a lot. Don't forget to move your OS to another drive via clone or something occasionally... Your old drive will wear out eventually. If it's SSD, they often just work until they just don't, so it's not like the old days when an HDD would just slow down and give you a warning.

Cheers!

What are your needs? I work in a PC shop and answer this question everyday lol

Don't forget that you're also allowed to ask them to play, if you should feel like it

Could be. I do have some significant Thinkpad experience (going back to the IBM days) and I do know that they will not alter the model number regardless of what's in the machine, but you can pull a build sheet from their website with the serial number. Do you know if your HPs could have had this happen? Was your distributor HP or elsewhere? (Not hating, just curious!)

Capacity loss over time is a decent idea. The 2nd Gen machine has an 11th Gen chip, vs 10th Gen in the Gen 1, and quiet possibly is able to burn more power quicker as well. Thinkpad power consumption is also definable in the BIOS or Vantage software for many of them, so those settings all could vary.

Normally I'd be happy to help troubleshoot this sort of thing but frankly I'm not sure OP was looking to chat.

You should contact Lenovo and let them know their spec sheets are wrong. Because they say exactly what I just said.

Not my problem if you have aftermarket modifications to them.

I have a T580 and a T15g2 and the T580 is 100% a more rugged build--not even close.

The T15 is way lighter, so maybe that feels like stiffness?

G1s do not just "have brighter screens" than Gen 2. Those are spec-able options.

G1 had three screens, 250nit, 300nit, 500nit (4k only)

G2 had three screens, 300nit, 300nit, 600nit (4k only)

Both have the same 57wh battery. Not sure what you're talking about there.

I mean it pretty clearly says that User insights will be put into development and user benefit is first.

...will that happen? Well. Probably not. But I hope so.

I want an all-Tacoma C&C now.

I do love me some Toyotas.

Had nice ones, had shitboxes. They all make some monkey brain in me so happy to drive.

No hate on other cars. I respect all builds. But Toyota seems to have some blueprint of my nervous system that makes me have fun in them.

Did you look this up or do you have encyclopedic knowledge of Generals quotes ^(too) ?

I read all of these in-voice haha.
