This is a Yoga exclusive problem due to its non conventional form and function.
That’s the only form factor that’s relevant to me, so that’s what I evaluate. Other ThinkPads and laptops don’t matter to me.
The Linux hardware support for Bluetooth, WiFi and other stuff is far superior to any other mainstream laptop maker.
How? They use the same Intel/Broadcom/Realtek chips as everyone else.
MILSPEC-810G certification
If this is something you require, ok. But that’s not something I value at all. I haven’t dropped a laptop yet and don’t need any certifications.
What I see is a lot of plastic cracking and breaking off with the X-series tablets (own an X201t and owned multiple X230t in the past) and new laptops starting to creak after mostly sitting on a desk for a couple of months. So overall I don’t think the build quality is anything special and I believe there are laptops for the same price that hold up as well or better over time. But it isn’t terrible either, it is just ok in my opinion.
Edit: I have figured you out, you donkey, downvoting every comment I make on my account. Go touch grass and snip your internet cable with a scissor. And maybe eat some removed and get diarrhea too.
I don’t think I have downvoted a single comment from you, at least not in this thread.
Before you misunderstand, sorry, you are not that person. Whoever did it undid their downvote, and I just wanted to know that it was intentionally being done since the past week to me, and I do have a clue who it is. I got a lot of enemies due to being a known privacy advocate, moreso because I am also a communist (we get hate from libs lol).
If you want the 2-in-1 form, I am afraid you barely have options to begin with, let alone ones that are as easy to work with as conventional laptops. This is both a problem that you chose and one that industry is forced to inflict, as part of the engineering complexity and user not having a chunky 3kg device.
Lenovo maintains a Linux compatibility chart for ThinkPads and provides support for it. I have not seen mainstream laptop makers make any such efforts outside of that Dell XPS Developer Edition model with Ubuntu years ago. Most makers just ship preinstalled Ubuntu without putting in their own effort. With ThinkPads being heavily used in corporate sector, Linux gets some support as some companies do use it over Windows.
I think the MILSPEC certification is extremely useful, especially since you probably do use your device like a handheld tablet. Maybe you do not need it, but almost everyone will always benefit from it. Knowing your data is safe and rescuable even when the device gets a lot of physical abuse is the greatest benefit. IMHO you do not appreciate how good the ThinkPad is, compared to what garbage others make, and it may be a case of grass is greener on the other side.
