T480s. No weird issues with the laptop itself. The Thunderbolt dock can be finnicky. It loses USB of the dock sometimes; that's about it. Kernel patches are underway I believe. Thing is an absolute joy under linux. Don't get me wrong, it excels in nothing. But it's 4 out of 5 for everything.

- Battery is fine

- Weight is fine

- Dimensions are fine

- You can add a ram stick for 24GB total (8GB is soldered on).

- Thunderbolt

- Fan management is fine.

- Thermals are almost fine.

- Exception: The speakers are embarrassingly bad.

For context, I came from a Macbook Air 13.
