My thoughts exactly. Unless you have a stable place to work, it’s mostly pain and stress and being reactive rather than super productive.

My company gives out 12” little cute Thinkpads to those who want a Windows machine. Those machines without a dock are really good just for checking emails in the airport.

which model is that thinkpad?

laptop size depends on what kind of work you do. for a support dev or sysadmin, constantly on the move (visiting clients, etc) a small laptop is more productive than lugging around a large heavy piece of equipment.

The X280 is the last 12 / 12.5" proper Thinkpad.

Last year's equivalent moved to 13" screens, hence X390 (Intel) and X395 (AMD).

The second digit usually corresponds to the first digit of the Intel Processor model no, though I think there's been some exceptions over the last few years (certainly with the T series anyway).
