🔑 Libreboot Support – The Big Difference
The T480 is the newest ThinkPad supported by Libreboot, making it a rare bridge between enterprise-class hardware and fully open-source firmware freedom. Transparent, auditable code instead of proprietary BIOS blobs. A trusted platform for journalists, researchers, and privacy advocates. A unique machine for those who want both durability and control.
🤝 Built to Work. Built to Last.
ThinkPads like this were made for enterprise fleets, not consumer corners. Tough, upgradable, and still one of the most practical Linux laptops ever made.
✨ Not Just a Seller. A Specialist.
I focus on ThinkPads for real users: sysadmins, developers, privacy advocates, and anyone who values long-term serviceable hardware. Custom configs? Bigger SSDs? Different distro? Ask me. I keep parts and stock for future upgrades.
