   Very happy so far with T480s purchase, especially at $219. Still don't have everything setup, but performance is orders of magnitude faster than my old broken laptop that cost more, and Alpine Linux setup was painless.

     @fossdd Yeah I know! I went eBay rather than Amazon refurb. Better condition, even the battery is reporting 85% of original capacity, and seems to have 8+ hour life on low load.

     I'm hoping to actually make my own and others' experience better by doing things the right way with abuild (and enough resources to run it) rather than hacking together from-source packages, getting some of the application sw I want packaged properly for Alpine.
