Is already off, it's this """""security""""" related bullshit reason Lenovo states that blocks me from going back to 1.49: To me, it seems more intentionally malicious than some arbitary security crap. If the glowies want you they'll use one of their secret arsenal exploits lol

I bought a reasonably priced P51 but of course the previous owner updated the BIOS to 1.52, which blocks undervolting. Am I SOL or is there any way I can downgrade? External flashing?

"ARM Cortex" Fucking dropped. x86 or bust. Also, €1100 for something like this, haha NO. I'll stick to used ThinkPads or Toughbooks, thank you very much.

Xeon isn't the fastest CPU, the 6820HQ with it's 400 MHz Turbo Bins unlocked is.

Ooh, finally a topic I can chime in on. Toughpads are great if you can stand having no keyboard. Panasonic's support is also excellent, I had my G1 Mk4 repaired under warranty and got it back within 2 days, even without having a receipt, because I got said G1 in a trade for a CF-31.

T580 absolutely demolishes a first gen i5. If you got the cash go for it.

Works for me?

Bunch of free X3x shit: https://www.marktplaats.nl/u/barry/2096940/ Same seller also has a few X31 parts machines and a T23 for sale.

This, too. People aren't buying fun stuff like old school hardware and that's extremely harmful to my bottomline :(

I mean businesses who resell used ThinkPads, guy I know runs a computer shop reselling ThinkPads and other business laptops and he also says sales are pretty bad these days.

A multitude of reasons: the economy has gone completely to shit and <xx70 ThinkPads are 5 years old by now (and were already outdated back then thanks to AMD) Good for us enthusiasts, bad for people who have to earn a living in this industry. Just for shits 'n giggles, I looked up what a T460...

Nice, a Precision thread. Time to show off my intimate knowledge about these awesome machines! Don't do this. Either get them from someone trusted like yours truly here, or just get them from actual business sellers in the USA. Aliexpress is a MASSIVE gamble. @Toad- I have had a Quadro K4000M...
