What model do you have? Do you like it?

I am always curious as to what laptop models others are using and what features they like best!

So what are you using? How did you chose it? How long have you had it and what do you like most/least about it?

    I currently have an IdeaPad L340. It was chosen by my boss, but he failed to realize that it didn't have a touch screen. That would be my major change on the next model I get. The only real problem that I have is wireless communication. I try to use my I-Phone for a hotspot when I have connectivity issues with my Xfinity wi-fi. It never picks up the I-Phone hotspot unless I direct connect via USB. I also occasionally have issues with my wireless printer. Anyone else have similar issues? I like it's portability and has many strong points, but this seems to be a weak spot. I agree Beth, that the video cam cover is a big plus!

    Thanks, Joe

    Have you run the Lenovo Vantage app to make sure everything is updated?    I do love the Vantage app for keeping things up to date.

    I am a software developer for several decades and have used Thinkpads for a couple of them now. Our software runs on Red Hat Linux and Thinkpads have always been very accepting of current releases of Fedora and CentOS.  So accepting, in fact, that I have been suspicious that the Linux developers use them (ha, ha).  I am currently using: X280 (Fedora 33), X260 (CentOS 7.8), and X240 (W10).  No VM's just install the OS's on each one as the only system

    As far as printers I use Xerox Workcenter at the office and HP 4630 wirelessly at home with both Linux & W10

    Also, no problems ever using cell phone hot spot with both Linux & W10
