It really depends. For me, media is pretty much internet radio, for which i use pyradio. I don't really watch YouTube anymore, and when I really need to, I'll just use my tablet.
Other than that, web surfing is okay, mail and office work really good.
Nice. Which Linux Distro will you install on them?
Arch on the X61 and Gentoo on the X41. I'm probably going to use the X61 as my main machine.
I predict they will install Fedora cause its works best on ThinkPad!
Interesting. I always found that Arch and Artix worked best, but I only have one ThinkPad.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯X41 and X61 for people who can't zoom in on pics.
Is the x61 usable in 2023 for general media consumption? I'm seeing one on sale for 30 bucks.
Pretty much just Youtube + streaming and some mails. I've already got a T14s from work for anything remotely heavy.
Thanks. Yeah 720p is a hard no for me then.
