    Yeah I definitely am making an effort to know more about where my products come. Drawing from memory I *thought* the KDE Slimbook was a rebranded Clevo like some of the 76's which I *thought* was Chinese, but after looking them up learned they are Taiwanese.



    I *thought* Dell was primarily American+Indian but I'm having trouble learning details on Manufacturing as information can get out of date.



    Thanks for the tips, in all these years I haven't heard of https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/

    Major bummer that Lenovo is doing this because they are essentially CCP China. After their human rights abuses of their own Uigher citizens, brutal violence, rape and murder against UK colony Hong Kong, hostility toward Taiwan, violence & murder in India, and harassing and threatening the world at large I avoid supporting these clowns.

    Chinese Han Supremacy & Chinese Fascism is as real as Third Reich National [NA] Socialism [ZIs].

    Their censorship & propaganda has brainwashed them into thinking "Han Chinese" is a Master Race, they are told "they are the best" and people buy goods because "Other races bow to us". Fascist thinking leads to violence and genocide.

    Fuck Fascist CCP China. Fuck Han Supremacists. Fuck CCP Companies.

    Edit: I realize this is a strong message, but I feel as it relates to Linux & Technology that we can't afford to condone these predatory behaviors. If the CCP optimizes the world in its image I see no room for Open-Source Software or Linux. The two cannot co-exist in overlap, because one optimizes Total Control, and the other optimizes Total Freedom. It's critical and timely under these present circumstances that this by my response and I strongly appeal that you make it your response to these human rights abuses aswell.

    I am not sure that the AMD version is hardware certified just yet, check the Lenovo linux forums. We have an ideapad in the house, and it was only with kernel 5.9 that everything worked at least adequately (the problems left over from 5.8 were related to the microphone, which affects the Thinkpad too). I think F33 will probably initially ship with 5.8.

    Don't mince words, tell us what you *really* think.

Sometimes there's no signal to the external display connected to the mini dock. Really don't think Lenovo did enough testing on 20.04 for this gen but hopefully they get it right for 20.10.
    Sounds more like you've got some shoddy contact somewhere in there. Still poor QC on Lenovo's side if that's the case.

    He never does, just ignore him.
    His only point is everything should be Fedora and Gnome, he can't post about anything else.

    Modern Thinkpads dodn't have the construction quality of yore. My T430 do flex the keyboard a bit and is not a tank in terms of flexing, despite having a magnesium chassis.

    The build quality on my work T480 is hardly world beating, and these things are getting harder to service yourself all the time. I broke one of the many infuriating plastic clips the first time I opened it, despite doing so gently with an actual pry tool. Then there's the soldered RAM and other interesting decisions. But yes, all the smaller Linux laptop/desktop makers are certainly going to struggle to compete on price with Lenovo / Dell / etc. who have tiny margins but huge volume.
