Hello I am looking into buying a some decent Navis for various uses.I have one for general use on the web ( a maxed out X60). I’m interested in one I can use outside of home that can do more than that so maybe a T530 for simple video editing or more intensive graphical tasks. An X230 specifically for a secure system where I can use Heads+Qubes in the future to better meet it’s system requirements.
Finally one that can do above average work compiling software,playing games, more video editing and use as a home server; a non-mobile workstation preferably one that has some degree of respects for my freedumbs like a Coreboot or Heads system. I haven’t looked too long at the Libreboot workstations since Minifree/Leah refused to pay for contracted work on libreboot for these systems and if using Libreboot is an ethical choice I want to hold it to higher ethical standards….
I currently have two t400’s but I understand they often do not have much computing power even with upgrades. I haven’t tried to use an eGPU since I can’t find any useful information on the net regarding whether there are any that work with free software or not or if it’s even compatible with a libreboot system. I'm not even sure where to begin with eGPUs.I’ll probably sell one of these t400 to help with the costs of buying new tech. If anyone can recommend a good workstation or better mobile system than the T530 I’m all ears.
>also inb4 “move to /tpg/” → this is for non-thinkpad systems as well
