TPM016 - FrankenPads und Mods

Einer der Vorteile früherer ThinkPads ist die hohe Reparierbarkeit. Die einfache Verfügbarkeit von Bauteilen lud schon früh zu interessanten Hardware-Experimenten ein. Neben einfachen Mods gibt es auch komplexe Umbauten mit neuen Mainboards, die die alternden Geräte wieder in die Gegenwart katapultieren.

Das ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD überzeugt in einem ersten Performance-Test, das ThinkPad X12 Detachable G2 ist im Lenovo-Store aufgetaucht.
