Awesome and impressive advice, thanks a lot!
I’ve actually managed to find a used Carbon X1 Gen 6 (i5-8250U, 16GB, 512) for 310usd so I reordered that instead. I assume the course of action won’t really change in this case.
And I’m not too familiar with some of that stuff, do you mind if I ask you the following:
Where can I see if Bios is locked?
Best way to boot into a Linux environment with a USB? Where can I get a Linux distribution that would work seamlessly from a thumb drive?
Is there a testing app for the microphone (it’s important for me) and the ports?
And what’s the fastest way to see the battery health?
How to install ‘stress’? And how can I watch “/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp”?
Thanks.
What’s truly so much better about it compared to T480? Or 7480
I’ve ordered this ThinkPad T480 with:
When it arrives, before paying, what would you recommend to check within 10 minutes of receiving it?

Why do you need to use the usb-c docks?
I’m not in the West and buying on a budget so my options are very limited
Any specific microphones come to mind? I found the MoveMic by Shure but it’s way over my budget.
Thank you. It’s rare to see such help from a total stranger on the web these days! I appreciate it.
My need is to use the mic with my laptop on the go wherever I am, which could be cafes or loud environments.
I’m looking for a pair of in-ear earbuds with a good mic, maybe even without much noise cancellation but a good option in general. Any recommendations?
Thanks for the effort!
Why wouldn’t I just use Krispy or Neep in this case? After researching for so long I feel like that’s the only real option left.
So what simple but good mic would you recommend then? I just need it for teaching one-on-one online from my laptop but the environment is really loud.
And I’ve no idea about adjusted audio input settings.
Well I guess I can use an external one.
Can’t use Western sites as I’m in Vietnam. But thanks!
Is it worth the increase in weight and bulkiness?
For example?
Thanks a lot but I have no idea as to where to even begin with the search for trusted international shipping options. Any advice on that?
I’m also not from the states so tough luck with relatives 😄
How can I use the serial number to verify? Where and what to look for? Should I ask the shop before buying to show me the serial number? It’s an online-only store.
There’s another option: 14 inch T14 i7-10610U, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage for 400usd (also used, directly from the US). Would that be better than the Carbon?
Appreciate the heads-up. Best way to do this ?
They simply want to police it better to suit their agenda
