@matthew Have you tried Tiny 11? Saw it run well on an X201.

A reminder that #ThinkPad is a tough PC. Despite this crack in this P14S G3, the display is unharmed. Video coming soon.#ThinkPadThursday

pcworld.com mentioned one of my many conversations with David Hill in a recent article about the #ThinkPad #TrackPoint. It's very cool to see these stories get around. I remain optimistic about the future of the TrackPoint.https://www.pcworld.com/article/2578193/an-ode-to-lenovos-trackpoint-nub.html

Let us just take a moment to appreciate this layout. Might not be perfect, but lots of upgrades are possible.

Lenovo launches Certified Refurbished storefrontFor years, it's been an open secret among tech enthusiasts that a used ThinkPad is one of the best values in computing. While you may not be on the bleeding edge of technology, a pre-owned ThinkPad is often far more durable and feature-rich than a brand-new consumer-grade machine you'd find at a big box store. As these machines complete their first life cycle, they still have plenty to give and can handle everything the average person requires from a PC.https://laptopretrospective.com/laptops/lenovo-launches-certified-refurbished-storefront/

Thanks to everyone on Mastodon, Twitter/X and YouTube for your suggestions on older hardware to run #Linux. I picked three #ThinkPad laptops to test how old you could go and have a decent experience. With Windows 10 support coming to an end, now is a great time to share alternatives for hardware that has more to give.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz5YmfjlHwg

@graves501 Yeah, I knew that XFCE is lighter on resources. I went with the one that would push the system a little more to illustrate what the hardware is still capable of and I think inexperienced people will pick cinnamon, not knowing any better, kinda like I did in 2016.The important thing is that it keeps the conversation going!

Here is a short and fun comparison. Both of these laptops are used and were close to the same price in my area of the world, but they couldn't be any more different. A little showdown between a #ThinkPad and an IdeaPad.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tIv3CxYtdg

David Hill ( #ThinkPad Designer )and I were working hard the last few months to create a brand new Wikipedia page documenting some highlights of his career. Consider giving it a visit. You might learn something new!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hill_(designer)

A very late entry for #ThinkPadThursday, a short tour and discussion about the #ThinkPad R52. Neat machine that gave me an opportunity to talk about some stories I've collected over the years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy98Vd1qyNw

I got my hands on one of the biggest #ThinkPad units ever built, the ThinkPad W700. It needed some work, but it was easy to get up and running. Except for the operating system. Come learn more!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDYEWAc-VfI

2025: A Year in Review2025: A Year in Review YouTube In 2025, I produced 32 full-length videos, down from 47 in 2024. Real-life events naturally impacted my "gas in the tank," but the statistics tell an interesting story of how the audience is evolving. Since YouTube's Year in Review stats email is a shadow of its former self, I had to manually retrieve the statistics this year.https://laptopretrospective.com/laptops/2025-a-year-in-review/
