Just got it today so I haven’t had much time to play with it yet. But feel free to ask me anything about it and I’ll answer when I can. The model I got has the non-touch 100% sRGB 400 nits display.

What is the model number? It should be a 4 digit number on the sticker on the back. That will help me look up the specs. Does it have a swappabe battery like old thinkpads? I’m not sure if they have gone completely to internal ones. Thanks.
can i have it?
Can you upgrade anything in it? Also is build quality good or is it floppy and bendy?
What OS do you plan to run?
Fedora Silverblue 41.
every time i see a thinkpad i’m reminded of my first IT job cannibalizing hard drives, keyboard, screens, touchpads, and pointers from other broken thinkpads to save money and make the department’s budget balance a little bit better while the company raked in billions of dollars every quarter.
i mean to sound nostalgic more than bitter because it was FANTASTIC company to work for at the time and things like the smell of a brand new thinkpad out of its plastic or the sounds of keyboard snapping into place and the black & red aesthetic always takes me back like some old man remembering better days. lol
Will you run Linux on it?
Yes. Will be running Fedora Silverblue 41.
Can you remove the keyboard like you used to?
No, not without opening up the laptop.
You’ll need to go through the back and remove at very least the main board to get to keyboard
What CPU and what’s the battery life? (that might take a bit)
Also what’s your opinion on the notch?
CPU is AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360. It’s too early to form an opinion about battery life, but so far it seems promising. As we speak the battery life is 67% and it shows 7 hours remaining. This is on Linux mind you, and I’m not doing anything heavy. Will report back tomorrow.
What is the screen resolution? Particularly wondering if it is 16:10 proportions like some new thinkpads.
1980x1200. Yes it’s 16:10. It’s 60hz only if you’re wondering. I like the screen. Colors are vibrant and blacks are deep.
