Just picked up a 16GB T480s i5 8265U with a touchscreen for just over 100GBP - is this a decent price? I don’t think it has an NVMe but regular 256GB SSD though.
I think this is the slowest version of the processor for the T480s? I was a little hesitant about the price, but it seems to be in fairly good used condition - I get “handed down from business-owner dad and was used for schoolwork and a bit of gogs gaming” vibes about it.
Does the touchscreen work happily under linux? Debian specifically - SID most likely. Apparently it has 10 touchpoints under win 11. Is the touch version of display lesser quality than non-touch? Is it matte? As a coder, I don’t really foresee me using it too much, but it’ll be nice to have if it doesn’t make the display poorer quality.
A little excited either way as my first thinkpad!
You could also try live-booting Debian and see if it works out of the box.
