The nice thing is that they're established. When your t480 breaks you have a reasonable option (I don't believe the newer Lenovos have the same spirit).
@bitwolf This is correct- the newer Lenovos are not in the same class as the older T480. It would definitely be a thing for when/if this T480 breaks. Currently, with dual SSDs and 64GB of RAM, it's just a tough sell. If I decided to pull the wifi card, I could throw in my Coral.ai TPU. Parts have been just as swappable, really- upgraded trackpad and display thus far. I've also got a TON of ports, and I really have used them all.
I just wanted a reason to buy a Framework 13 NOW.
Ayy what kind of cooling would a person willing to give up their wireless card need to put on that little sucker?
@bloodfart it doesn’t need anything. Runs great without any cooling. It’s currently in my ThinkCentre m900 tiny in place of WiFi there. I’ve had it in my T480 without issue prior to me getting the m900. I wish it’d fit in the cellular/nvme slot, but it’s a different connector.
Sick. Now I just gotta learn tensorflow lite.
Nice beos av. Been a while.
Can confirm, while it does work my T495 has been a disappointment in so many ways.
If it hadn't been called a ThinkPad I probably would have bothered much less, but that name brought some expectations.
