I use a T480 (bought new a lot time ago) moderately-capable gaming PC (lol):
- 3 extended, swappable batteries + third-party external battery charger (also has an internal battery T490 lacks)
- 32 GiB RAM
- i7-8650U
- 2 TiB SSD
- Retrofit/modded magnesium top case
- I pre-acquired replacement parts like fans, hinges, backlit keyboards, and case screws
- Works with Windows 11 + Razer Core X TB3 with an RTX 3070 Ti eGPU
Needs a couple of utilities to max out CPU TDP to 25W.
It's usually the display resolution that kills it for me.
