but can it run macOS 😂

Fuck that 😂

But can we rip cds? To be honest, my favorite part has always been iTunes. And I don't need mac for that.

Yes, minus the HDMI port - up OpenCore.

* look up OpenCore

They are a powerhouse 💪

Is it worth it? Been pondering since a while now if I should get one

Probably. Why do you want one?

Because my old Laptop broke and I've read alot about thinkpads, good as bad reviews.

I need it mainly for writing and work, something not to heavy but with solid processing.

I’ll say that the thinkpad line has fallen off since IBM sold out, but the build quality is still superior to all general consumer grade model competitors and a good chunk of business grades too. Cosmetic durability varies. Upgradability is usually a hinderance across like model competitors, but still has comparables & often a few nice added touches.

Solid processing is too subjective. An i5 is sufficient for most people, memory & storage media is usually the bottleneck, not cpu. 32gb ram or bust. Word processing isn’t intensive in any form.

Buy it used on eBay or, ideally, from a nearby electronics recycler - new laptops are a racket.

Yes

Welcome to the club pal 🥰

🔥

They are solid machines. Good choice.

Nice, welcome to the club, do you use arch btw?

Ubuntu

“How can you tell someone is an arch user?”

They’ll tell you

Living up to the meme 🫡
