I haven't tested that in a while but my memories is that the HDMI port is the one that cuts off if you connect something to the dock not the USB C port so yes that should work.

Everything docks can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/wiki/newdocks tl;dr: yeah it works but using a Thunderbolt dock with a T series laptop is a waste of money in almost all cases because of the Alpine Ridge LP chip. The difference between a 20 dollar USB C dock and a 200 dollar Thunde...

That imgur thing was put together by me when looking for hardware hackers to make me one of these FrankenPads. I would pay for the work. No need for liquid metal

Regarding repair: that's Lenovo's problem, not mine. I have five year NBD ADP warranty.

This is a fantastic mod. Are you willing to make more of this and sell them? Just asking, I am fine with the TP25. (just a small footnote: if you want to beat the TP25 in its own game you need the i7 iGP T430s because that has Thunderbolt 1. At that point, the TP25 important advantages dwindle down ...

Does replacing the screen void the warranty?

Very nice review. My first impression: you need to change the TrackPoint speed! Gosh, I was so disappointed at first at the sluggish TrackPoint of my new, expensive, probably-will-spend-a-decade-with-it laptop but it turns out that was just because I kept Windows 10 and the initial speed is terrible...

Yeah mine doesn't look uneven at all.

It has to be able to negotiate pairs of voltage and currents - 5V, 9V, 15V, 20V Has to? Nope. Look at the Nintendo Switch forums, tons of chargers are not compatible because they do not deliver 15V. Power Delivery is a very flexible standard and the charger tells the system what it does and what it...

I did see a post elsewhere on Reddit that the Intel GPU is connected to all of the external display ports. I don't have an USB-C display adapter but I can try the HDMI and report back. Please. This would be the news of the decade :) (just to stick to overblowing it :D ) because then yes, the whole ...

There is not a lot of choice to go up from the T420s full HD I hold. I wish it were better but it is what it is.

Frankly if they released the eGPU w/ the 1050 Ti they teased at IFA with the Yoga 920 I would live with the rest but they didn't.

How incredibly stupid was to include that, really, it doesn't provide any positive value (maybe it's part of the retro feeling to include a video card which equals in performance to high end desktop cards from ten years ago?) but it does provide a lot of negative value: Heavier Hotter Needs a 65W ch...

It did run out yesterday at first you could get to the cart and complained there later you couldn't even get to the cart https://photos.app.goo.gl/ASH7muddxiK5op892 Today it's back because they cancelled a ton of discount orders , reddit is full of it and yes , mine as well. I reordered real darn qu...

Yes, 51nb can kinda make the mobo. Without HMMs. And without support. And without 3-year warranty.

And without the docking capability. And more likely than not, without Thunderbolt.

I ordered; I am not home; I won't see it until January; I still ordered. I am stoked! Especially by theterminator93's report of the keyboard! Care to tell us whether it came with a WWAN card? Is it really single module 16GB? Finally, do you have a 45W charger at hand and could you try whether it kee...

They've been separate for all models starting from T410 generation. Well, the dock up to T430 passthrough DP ports so the question wouldn't even arise -- things got this complicated because the Ultra is an MST hub instead of having two independent DisplayPort. If they regressed with the dock why no...

Is it possible to use a USB C-to-DisplayPort adapter and the DisplayPort connector on the Pro Dock at the same time ? I called tech support and was transferred back and forth and noone knows. And no, the Ultra dock is no solution, it's an MST hub. It's painfully obvious the docking connector only ha...

If it would be 5000 there wouldn't be a single one left by now. No way.

The status LEDs are a nice to have. There are no "classic" status LED (Wi-Fi, BT, Drive activity etc). He means CapsLock etc. It is explained here . I am aware. What I meant is that the status LED feature is merely a nice to have. It's not something to weep over. But classic keyboard with 32GB and ...

Your URL is wrong. I am curious where you read that. Sorry, fixed one: http://www.jonashendrickx.com/2017/10/05/lenovo-retro-thinkpad/ That's wild. How does he know? And should we weep? I have a TP25 incoming, dual PackedPixels already landed in my airbnb in London where I will pick them up in thre...

According this

There are only 5000 produced in total and 625 for the European market.

Your URL is wrong. I am curious where you read that.

So guess your definition of an Old School ThinkPadder is the (7-row) Classic Keyboard. (OK, the legendary build quality is still in all ThinkPads!) Look at an X1. Compare. You can't exchange the hard drive, the memory, there is no docking connector. These are what makes a ThinkPad a ThinkPad. And s...

I think there is hope, but my guess would be that it all depends how many of the ThinkPad 25 will be sold. IMO this incarnation of the Thinkpad 25 is doomed to fail. Except for the nearly "classic" keyboard, what are the anniversary features? Nothing. Many of us don't need anything else , though. S...

I had a chat with ibthink on reddit in June about how Dell has the GTX 1050 in the XPS 15 and we are going to shafted by the 940MX. (And how I am wrong because the XPS 15 is not the business modell.) At IFA https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/08/30/how-to-watch-microsofts-keynote-at-ifa...

Here's an idea -- wish they did it this time as well -- instead of guessing what price point we would accept run a crowdsourcing campaign. Talos ran one for $7000 workstations with a 3.7M goal and that was a noname company. High numbers are definitely not unheard of. Lenovo might be in for a surpris...

One thing that have left me speechless in 2015 July and any sane company would do some serious soul searching over it: the word cloud in http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/retro-thinkpad-survey-keyboard has "please" as one of the most frequent words. Only thinkpad and "keyboard" are larger. Notably "scr...

It won't cost much to try swapping the keyboards, we might have a good surprise for once ? It has been stated multiple times it's a different palmrest and if you consider it carefully, it must be: a seven row keyboard out of necessity takes more space than a six row :) and also there's a different ...

Let me put this another way: had there been a poll asking people to choose between 14" 16:9 and 12" 3:2 or even 12" 16:10, people would have preferred 12" 3:2 (or 12" 16:10), AND YOU KNOW THAT . No way. A decade ago I used to work on a Samsung Q30 aka Dell X1 and 12" is just not enough. (You people...

There is something to be said knowing that if your compiter just flat out dies, someone will come to fix if for free. Oh! Is that an option for Canada too? Edit: so I see. I can order someone to come and fix it for five years even screen cracks :eek: 40 cents a day. I think I can budget 40 cents a ...

All we then would probably need is a keyboard-cable adapter and people who like the 'regular' T470 could put on a decent keyboard as well. And 3D-print the T25 palmrest, cuz I guess they will hardly be sold separately. If that's the case, who needs a T25? That adapter might be challenging although ...
