Ask HN: What‘s the best all-in-one coding/gaming/travel Notebook?

I use a ThinkPad T14s after my X1 Carbon fell apart. The thicker chassis makes it more reliable for travel, and the Ryzen CPU can play most Xbox games pass games fine. If you don't need Linux then the new Macs seem pretty amazing though.

My all time favourite laptop is the X220 though, lasted 10 years or more. Only got rid of it because I messed up replacing the screen.

Thinkpads are great, miss mine, next one will be a ThinkPad again. I think the thicker chassis is nice; better cooling, more comfortable, allows for nice keyboards.

Are TPs still advisable, even the brand being owned by Lenovo now for a long time?

I haven't heard of any spyware or anything being embedded in the hardware or BIOS. Seems like all pretty standard components. All I heard is that there's some Lenovo software/crapware in the Windows installation (don't all vendors do that though?). Haven't heard of any concerns running Linux on Thinkpads, could be wrong though.

They've got worse but they're still the best imo.

Definitely. They compromise too much for "thin and light" like reducing the key travel, removing ports, reducing reliability and power, and the Carbon price is insane now. I'm happy I switched to the T series.
