Well, my life turned to chaos at some point and I had to neglect some things for a while.

I did this regularly on arch. And it didn’t end very well.

Well, i have the 5290 laptop (not the tablet)(i5-8350u) for a year now. It’s great, practically pocketable, upgradable everything except the cpu (obivously), decent materials, a decent keyboard, etc. But the display is terrible.

Well, gnome exists.

Well, we don’t have bedrock and don’t even think about mcpelauncher (it’s not even foss anymore + licensing bullshit).

Well, the only use of this, for most people, would probably be minecraft.

Then, some chuwi convertibles have a laptop-like keyboard, but I have never seen one in person.

Latitude 5290 has the same CPU and upgradability of a t480, but no trackpoint. Build quality is great (from my experience) and it’s under 200€ used.

Or use a mi pad 5 with linux for coding on the device. The geekbench score is comparable to a thinkpad t480. (this)
