What a crap app. It shows NOTHING in Vietnam. Totally ridiculous to expect people to use this garbled mess.

Appreciate the detailed response, Lemmy is truly an amazing place to be a part of, thanks to precious people such as yourself 😄

Farmers, too?

Awesome and impressive advice, thanks a lot!

I've actually managed to find a used Carbon X1 Gen 6 (i5-8250U, 16GB, 512) for 310usd so I reordered that instead. I assume the course of action won't really change in this case.

And I'm not too familiar with some of that stuff, do you mind if I ask you the following:

1. Where can I see if Bios is locked?
2. Best way to boot into a Linux environment with a USB? Where can I get a Linux distribution that would work seamlessly from a thumb drive?
3. Is there a testing app for the microphone (it's important for me) and the ports?
4. And what's the fastest way to see the battery health?
5. How to install 'stress'? And how can I watch "/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp"?

Thanks.

What's truly so much better about it compared to T480? Or 7480

I've ordered this ThinkPad T480 with:

• Intel Core i7-8650U processor
• 16GB DDR4 RAM
• 512GB storage
• 14" FHD IPS display
• Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620

When it arrives, before paying, what would you recommend to check within 10 minutes of receiving it?

Why would that be better than T480?

Why do you need to use the usb-c docks?

I'm not in the West and buying on a budget so my options are very limited

Any specific microphones come to mind? I found the MoveMic by Shure but it's way over my budget.

Thank you. It's rare to see such help from a total stranger on the web these days! I appreciate it.

My need is to use the mic with my laptop on the go wherever I am, which could be cafes or loud environments.

I'm looking for a pair of in-ear earbuds with a good mic, maybe even without much noise cancellation but a good option in general. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the effort!

Why wouldn't I just use Krispy or Neep in this case? After researching for so long I feel like that's the only real option left.

So what simple but good mic would you recommend then? I just need it for teaching one-on-one online from my laptop but the environment is really loud.

And I've no idea about adjusted audio input settings.

Thanks but I need it to be a clip on / lavalier style.

Thanks for letting me know!

Any advice on what I can get for around 400usd then?

What can you recommend for about 400usd?

Well I guess I can use an external one.

It's T14 Gen 1 vs X1 Gen 6
