Does anyone have a copy of the original Windows 7 recovery media for the X1 Carbon Gen 2? I can find gen 1, and most other later gens. But not this machine.

I have a BASE model T14 gen 1 (1366x768 screen, lowest end i5, base ssd etc) and I was wanting to eek out a bit more performance out of this machine. It’s quite thermally constrained with longer loads despite being the base model, and it’s fan seems to barely move any air at all....
My webcam does not work. I’m sure it’s a hardware issue as it persists in windows and Linux. I already reseated the camera and it still happpens....
Sorry for a dumb title. I’m considering two versions of Thinkpad Z13 - one with 3k OLED and another with FHD IPS panel. The first one has obviously a better display quality and gamut range but version with IPS will provide more battery life....

Replacing the crappy panels that come with the T480 with a better 4K panel is a somewhat popular mod, and it seems that most people opted for the BOE NV140QUM-N53 as the replacement panel....
I purchased a tube of thermal paste for my Xbox 360 and would like to reapply the thermal paste on my X200s. I am struggling to find videos about reapplying thermal paste on it. Most videos seem to be complete disassembly videos that remove the motherboard but I am wondering if this is necessary. There is one post on Reddit that...
I wonder if anybody has done this before...
I’m planning to purchase a used T480, and want to know how the battery life would be on Linux. Online I see a lot of good numbers, and I am considering carrying multiple of the external batteries, but I want another opinion. Also, do you have any recommends on a good price to “go for it” and any other laptops to consider...
I have a Thinkpad L440 that I use as a daily driver. I was looking for a laptop fan cooler, but I don’t know if a fan base that just pours air from below is the most ideal, considering that the hot air comes out of the fan from the left side....
I know they never were an option since the T400/T500 days and I’ve seen people flat out say that even if they fit, they won’t work with the T440P/T540P....
I’m considering buying a new thinkpad and possibly changing the battery out for a price up to 550 dollars, but preferably less. I mean to use the device for school and travel and do value battery life most, but prefer some better performance— I will be doing some image editing and video editing. Any recommends?...

Recently I decided to update my coreboot, with some config changes. It worked, but after I put my laptop to sleep it doesn’t boot anymore. (Power LED and fans turn on just for a second)...
I bought a replacement battery that was not OEM off eBay. After about 4-6 months of use, the thing nearly blew up on me. The battery got so hot it could’ve started a fire. Seriously, spend the extra money, its not worth the risk....
A friend of mine gave a an old ThinkPad T41 and it’s in great condition for one of these without any cracks in the chassis. There are a few marks on the display but it doesn’t look like it’s cracked (I don’t have the right power supply to test it out)....
It’s the classic “you’ve plugged the charger in but you have to wiggle it a million times and get it in a perfect position for the laptop to actually charge”. Obviously, this is less than ideal....
