You can upgrade the screen too, at least on the t480

For around 100$ and some manual work you can upgrade to 2k resolution with say a B140QAN02.0 screen or heck even 4k if you dont mind spending twice the laptop's worth on that

Absolutely love that laptop, tricked out mine with 64gb of ram (absolutely overkill but hey I could) and a X1E glass trackpad and it's been my main dev laptop for the last 5-6 years

A 6e wifi upgrade is somewhere on the roadmap as well for me


It's partly the ccd sensor, it's unfortunate we moved on past these as no modern digital camera can quite match the best of those color-wise imo


CCD or CMOS sensors count photons. They presumably have some natural frequency response curve, but the actual colour discrimination comes from the filters (usually some flavours of RGB, but has been other choices too).

It's those filters, and the colour reconstruction algorithms that change colour response, not the underlying sensor.


It’ll be on geforcenow soon if it’s not there yet and it seems to run fine on steam os with proton experimental
