Hello, everyone.
I'm here to ask for input on a hardware purchase that I believe
seasoned OpenBSD users could provide some valuable insight into.
I am looking to purchase a ThinkPad to exclusively run OpenBSD on. The
intent here is to have a dedicated machine to explore and play with
OpenBSD, and eventually promote it as my primary day-to-day
workstation.
A little background: I own a T460s, and it's an excellent machine, but
I feel it to be too fragile to use in harsh environments, like
outdoors or hackerspaces with a lot of rough objects around.
I haven't used the T460s yet, however, I do own a T450s and that
runs very well with OpenBSD [1]. Besides being my day-to-day
workhorse I already used this model on camping trips (OK, it was a
hacker camp :)), outdoors and it survived long-range travel.
So far, I am pretty impressed with the quality. Of course, you cannot
compare it to the good old Thinkpad T40 but that was a different
area.
Cheers
Matthias
