Well, the quality of most laptops fell enough in the last decade, that the clevos are decent now. Also, fuck thinkpad part rejection, I’m definitely not buying a (edit: new) TP.
would you mind elaborating on the part rejection? i am not sure what is meant by that
ThinkPads refuse to work with non-Lenovo batteries.
And different wwan cards. How are you supposed to add mobile broadband? Buy the same as OEM card?
i wasn’t aware of that. thank you! is this a recent development?
I can’t find an exact date, but there is a YouTube tutorial from 2018 on removing the battery whitelist, so it’s been at least 7 years.
Even t430 from 2014 has a battery whitelist.
