@libreleah strictly in terms of performance, how much better do you think an i7 T480 is, compared to an i7 T440p?
I have the latter, and CPU performance stats on the web for the two i7s—surprisingly—seem practically the same. I even noticed some parameters where the Haswell seemed to edge out the Kaby Lake Refresh.

@libreleah thanks for putting a number to it: 10%. I just found a deal online where the i7 T480 is only 10% more expensive than the i5. Perhaps I should go for it? And try my hand at flashing Libreboot?

@libreleah hello! Curious if the T480 with i7 CPUs can be flashed with Libreboot. I've seen guides in the wild that show i7 boards being flashed. However, I was curious why I didn't see an i7 option on minifree.org. Perhaps I missed a note somewhere?
