For roughly two days I’ve been working on that Thinkpad T490s. It’s a lovely machine, I like many things about it, but its age of roughly six years starts to show: Stuff takes time and eight gigs of memory doesn’t seem to be enough these days.
Now I’m thinking about getting a more powerful machine, better CPU, more memory — upgrading the memory isn’t an option, unfortunately. But most laptops are either expensive or ugly as hell.
