good composition. this is blurred+transparent windows done right. So fucking tired of all screenshots where much blur menas i can have more transparency. That's how 2018, the worst year in desktop customization, will be remembered, blurry and lame. Personally i would sacrifice padding for fontsize, but that's because i am old and poor. 8/10

Thinking about replacing my X220 with this. It’s unironically cheaper than getting a new battery where I’m at and has a god-tier screen. It’s also ARM and runs (presumably blobby) Coreboot which is cool.
Change my mind.

Lenovo fucking suck. My new T480 literally feels like a piece of junk. When it arrived I had to unstick a bunch of keys. Hardware support in linux is trailing as well. The battery has already lost 10% capacity. Fuck lenovo. It all just cheap chinese crap like all the other piece of shit brands, so stop doing adverts for them useful idiot.
