   @ElDeadKennedy @Moon @adiz @feld The big issue:
   
   https://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/solutions/pd100280-detailed-specifications-thinkpad-t440p
   
   Intel Core i7-4910MQ has a passmark score of 6300
   
   I considered, a few years ago, a passmark score of around 3000 or less to be the obsolescence line. Computers with processors that weak in my office barely could do video conference and the computer would be too slow to do anything else at the same time
   
   Ironically enough, my home PC has a
   
   CPU: Intel i5-6600 (4) @ 3.900GHz
   GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
   
   And the CPU passmark score is of 6037 and I can still do a lot of gaming (don't play AAA games man), but the CPU is increasingly getting raped by the browser, even on Linux, and the obsolescence line is going to be slowly reaching up due to program bloat
   
   Meanwhile the average processor now can easily reach up to 20k-30k passmark score

     @coolboymew @feld @ElDeadKennedy @Moon @adiz I don't know anything about these passmarks or whatever, but my X1 works great. Video conference, CAD, Firefox, e-mail, office: all in the same time. I've got Fedora 38 on it currently. I also have a corporate T14, which I use as a VM host and a VPN node. Both of them have hardware touchpad buttons, which is a killer feature in the world of monolithic touchpads. I used to hate the nipple and the offset Ctrl of Thinkpads, but I learned to deal with that, simply because Thinkpads are going to shit slower than anything else.

     @pro @feld @ElDeadKennedy @Moon @adiz what's the processor's passmark score?
