It's a custom build, and won't arrive until Nov 3. This may be related to the AMD CPUs being in short supply.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Although I like thin + light ultrabooks, I decided against the T14s. Ron reported quality problems with Lenovo ultrabooks, and notebookcheck reported severe thermal problems with the T14s+AMD model (there is no room in the chassis for a proper cooling system). The AMD processor I ordered has 8 CPU cores and 448 GPU cores, and that requires good cooling.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I will probably install PopOS, based on seeing Jason's presentation. I'm also interested in trying out PopOS's new tiling window manager.<br></div></body></html>
