I hey, that's my laptop! The trackpad is kinda trash, but that encourages me to use the trackpoint. Use massgrave if you're going to do the Windows 10 downgrade, so you can get the iot ltsc version. I use Fedora on mine without issues. It's so-so for games, but it's great for everything else.
I do agree with the other post that you overpaid for this. But the laptop itself is good.
Yeah that has me torn, I don't know if I should go full steam ahead with mint or do mass grave win 10. I have a kb+mouse so trackpad isn't really an issue.
I upgraded my touchpad on mine to a glass one using the part from a newer thinkpad. I believe it was the pad from the x1 carbon.
Huge upgrade and not too expensive. I saw it on a reddit thread, found the OEM part number and then bought it off AliExpress. You do have to be careful to find one that specifically says it's glass because sellers will list the plastic pad as compatible with the newer part number because they're interchangeable
