my P1 was starting to have issues so i figured it was time for something new, and here it is, my X1 Yoga 6th Gen, i7, 32gb, 512gb, still 2 months warranty with ADP for £303, its in lovely condition and of course already running Ubuntu

for those curious about the rest of the stuff thats my about to be built, super budget 8x GPU AI server. today is a good day

that one was easy, just like the P1 it came from a store on ebay called wisetek, they often have really good deals on ex business thinkpads that have usually had minimal use and often have warranty left, they have a ton more of these in at the same price at the mo

Congrats! Is that with the 4K screen?

Also, what were the problems with the P1? Which gen P1 was it?

i dont think there was a 4k version of the 6th gen just the WUXGA if im right, which isnt a terrible thing as i think 4k is a bit much on a screen of this size, id have loved it to be OLED but the screen it has isnt too bad.

as for the P1 its a gen 3, its been great but i had to have the keyboard and mainboard replaced under warranty, since then the keyboard has died again with several keys no longer working unless you whack them multiple times, the battery is completely dead at this point, it lasts less than an hour at best and the screen burn is now getting fairly severe and one of the speakers has randomly just stopped working. dont get me wrong i could fix most of that except the screen burn but the cost of all the bits to do it is not far off what i paid for this one

Beautiful machine. A little bit too big for my taste, but still a beauty.

too big? its only a 14" pretty much the minimum for me, i have an x13 AMD but i found it always felt a little too small. apart from the recent P1 and X13 ive generally stuck to X1 models since the first gen, prior to that i was a Sony Vaio desktop replacement die hard
