  • Yes but your mileage may vary. My pavilion x360 had okay out of the box support for it's touchscreen. I don't remember if tilt worked.

    My touchscreen is currently busted and the hinges broke the case (and probably the digitizer) so I stopped using the convertible function of it.

  • Depends on your major. I'm a bio/ecology major and a lot of the tools I used were cross platform or web based.

    Also the university I went to did have basic Linux instructions for certain things like connecting to printers and connecting to the internet.

  • I tried xubuntu when I was 14 on a live cd to get students admin access on our school laptops. Once I got my own machine, I kept it on windows 10 until it became unstable so I moved to Bunsenlabs, then Pop OS due to it's dgpu. (Intel igpu, amd dgpu)

  • You can get around it a few ways. Some are drive agnostic, some aren't. Also your drive might not be super affected by it. My dad's Sony AIO PC didn't have an issue ripping while a USB DVD drive I borrowed did.

    Edit: the Sony AIO PC was also from 2012. It was running windows 7 when I did this.

  • The 11th gen Intel cpus did not age well at all. They ran too hot, they were super inefficient at light work. They'd idle fine but as soon as you did something small, the fans would kick on and you suddenly had a half hour reduction in your battery life.

    The M series laptops are fantastic and honestly, I don't mind USB hubs as much. Also if your phone supports USB c display out, you can use it with that. Unless if it's an iphone, then it's kind of scuffed. It does work and I have gotten actual work done with it.

  • You have to be careful on the 80 series. They are either 7th gen Intel or 8th gen Intel. My sister has an i5-7200u t580. Also 8th gen is weird, I've been having issues with my pavilion trying to get it to run at base clock. I had to uninstall Intel thermald and run "throttled", a GitHub script to run at base clock.

    Also it's the last generation of T series that has dual batteries, and a few gens later, they move to soldered ram.
