Re: [Trisquel-users] Thinkpad T400s vs T420

ubooy thank you for your answer, I agree, at some point we have to make sure  
we have a good substitution for hardware this old (hopefully in the long  
term).


I guess the only problem with a Talos computer is the high price XD not to  
mention the portability issue. Maybe one day get the combo Talos for desktop  
and EOMA for laptop

Thank you for your comments. Maybe the T420 is the way to go for now. I  
didn't know the T440p was still a classic thinkpad.

Of course T420. Better CPU and GPU, up to 16 GiB RAM, up to 3 disk drives,  
larger battery...


Now I'm trying to liberate T440p and T540p with Intel's integrated graphics,  
the last generation of ThinkPad Classic without Boot Guard.

It's up to you. Both have "issues"

I like the fact IntelME is fully removed on T400, x200 etc.. but I regret not  
having microcode update from Intel for this era CPUs.. (I'm not even  
mentioning huge stability issue without running latest avaiable microcode  
(2010)..)


T420s IntelME can almost be nuked with me_cleaner and there are microcode  
update available from Intel (although we don't know what those are  
introducing..)
