A few weeks ago, I finally took the plunge and ordered a new laptop! Pretty much a straight replacement for this sturdy old ThinkPad T430s which has been outstanding – must be 9 or 10 years old now since it was a hand-me down from RedPixie. Still works great apart from the battery (to be expected) and one duff USB port. And the fact that I have worn the trackpad smooth. It’s Windows 7 too so something more modern definitely required. I never recommend updating the Operating System on original hardware. Things tend to stop working.

New model is a T14s, customised, which means delivery timescale is months – they have to build it. Lenovo keep sending emails saying one thing one day and another thing the next. Shipping has been anywhere from late November to mid January. You need patience in IT.

Apart from this excuse to make a post, why does my blog not render in Edge??? Doesn’t even recognise the certificate. Must be settings since the engine is the same. Hence this is being written in Chrome.
