Second that notion about not being IBM. Currently on a quite new Carbon X1 (from '24), because my previous one (five years old) started having issues (internal monitor flickering, staying black for some time, keyboard falling apart…), which was in turn a replacement for a T430s. That was preceeded by a T400s. The T4x0s still run without issue, so I found quite the drop in quality from the Ts to the X1s, especially the keyboard.

All of those of course were no match for my trusty old T43, that was one beast of a machine.

I guess since most devices don’t have removable batteries anymore, you’d be violating checked baggage regulations as they don’t allow batteries. Not sure what the consequences would be, though.

Add gorgonzola or some other blue cheese, had one like that recently, and though I absolutely loathe Hawaii pizza, the pear and blue cheese combo blew me away.
