Mine is 4(?) years old, and has never crashed. I use it every day. If you want something newer, or have 10x the power budget:

Yeah it generally works pretty happily with most hardware in modern X/T Thinkpads. Happily running it on my X270. It's missing the 802.11ac and Bluetooth support but I'll live. I bought a BT-W2 so that my Bluetooth headphones will work and OpenBSD handles it swimmingly.

There's very little that I can't do with it versus my Linux workstation, at least for my needs.

Thanks. I might try building one of those.

But the problem remains: eventually, the next upgrade will crash every time you boot it, and what will you do then?
