Linux Laptops And Computers

Linux ThinkPad Laptops

Major tech companies across the globe employ the Linux open-source operating system on their PC devices as the preferred – and possibly only – choice for getting things done. Likewise, ThinkPad has been a brand name that's synonymous with small and medium businesses, major enterprises, and tech companies for decades owing to their renowned speed, security, durability, and reliability.

Lenovo has packaged the Linux OS, right out of the box, onto many of our newest and most popular ThinkPad laptop models.

The Linux user experience is designed to be more open, faster, and more secure than alternative OS offerings. ThinkPad designs are built around many of the same principles as Linux, and that's why the marriage of ThinkPad hardware and Linux software results in one of the best Linux laptop line-ups around. Now you can have the best of both worlds – together in one laptop, and only at Lenovo.

Consider the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon – our top-of-the-line ThinkPad that also happens to be one of the slimmest and most advanced business laptops of the day. Select models of the X1 Carbon with Linux feature the latest Intel® Core™ processors, powerful Intel UHD integrated graphics, and 8GB of RAM.

User-friendly features like a fingerprint reader for lock-tight yet convenient, security, and backlit keyboards help round out the benefits of the latest X1 Carbon laptops. And now, with Linux preinstalled, regular users of Linux can reap those same benefits.

So if you want the ideal laptop to take your Linux experience to the next level, buy a laptop that sports the ThinkPad seal.

Linux ThinkCentre Desktop Computers

Looking to outfit your desktop environment? With the power and features of our ThinkCentre M Series business desktops, combined with the robust capabilities of the Linux OS, Lenovo also holds claim to one of the best Linux desktop lineups around.

Get the Linux support you need for home office or business with affordable, expandable and long-lasting ThinkCentre desktops. They're preferred for many small businesses and IT departments due to their ease of use and productivity-boosting features.

And while you'll find their price point attractive, don't forget that these green-friendly machines will help cut down on energy costs after purchase as well. Plus, since the Linux OS itself is a free and open-source operating system, you won't spend an extra budget on the OS.

Linux Workstations

High tech software often demands the highest-tech hardware. And if your day-to-day work activities involve regular use of the Linux OS, chances are the power of a workstation is on your wishlist.

So give your Linux experience the power it deserves. With many models packing up to an NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics card and Intel® Xeon® processing power, those who need to run Linux can do so without limits.

Lenovo P Series laptop and desktop workstations both carry the Think brand seal of approval, so whether you need the extra mobility of a ThinkPad mobile workstation or the brawny power of a ThinkStation workstation desktop computer, Lenovo has your Linux workstation needs to be covered.

Choosing a Linux PC isn't always easy, but at Lenovo, we've packaged the Linux OS into a robust slate of models and form factors to offer you greater choice and options than many other brands.

Linux Affordable Laptops

Most laptops using the Linux open-source operating system are quite pricey. Thus, if you are a student or a beginner in coding, you may struggle to afford a quality machine that's perfectly compatible with Linux beta (Crostini).

Nonetheless, with Lenovo Thinkstations and the Thinkpad series machines, you blend both quality and excellent compatibility with the open-source OS. Actually, within a reasonable price you can get a brand new Linux workstation.

In addition, Lenovo manufactures computers made to outlive you. Therefore, you are assured that it will not let you down even if you are a heavy coder spending the bulk of your time using it.

In addition, since the Lenovo Linux tablets and laptops are pretty cheap, many corporates are quick to dispose of them after some time as it's pretty economical to get new ones. This is because they are simply devices designed for the enterprise market.

This is good news for second market enthusiasts. Finally, with Lenovo, you can be sure that you are getting a second-hand device that's only a few years old and one that will serve you for so long before you can contemplate disposal.

Linux User Repairable Computers.

You don't have to be stuck with an old model that cannot fit your needs. For instance, your Linux gaming PC will need constant improvements to keep up with the upgraded graphics if you are a gamer.

In any machine, tear and wear are commonplace, and many are left helpless when that strikes. But not with Linux ThinkPad laptops, as there are one of the easiest computers to repair that you'll come across.

If you are a heavy-duty user, a characteristic of Linux users who code, your battery is bound to wear out faster than the average user. But that shouldn't worry you with Linux ThinkPad laptops. You can easily change the laptop battery with another one. Just make sure that the new battery is an original Lenovo battery for maximum efficiency.

Also, regular coding may cause wear and tear of the keyboard. You may have seen some computers with faint keys due to extensive typing/coding. We can assure you that with the Lenovo Thinkpads, this will take quite some time before becoming a full-blown issue.

And when it does, worry not. You can replace the keyboard with another one and boom. You now have a new laptop. What makes the Thinkpad series quite incredible is that it's as good as Linux beta on Chromebook. More so, given that it is easy to repair, you're assured of a seamless coding experience.

Other parts that you can quickly repair in Linux Thinkpads and Thinkstations include trackpad and CPU fan. But, again, the latter will take several years of heavy use before replacement is inevitable.

Lastly, you can increase the internal RAM internal storage and replace the screen.

DIY Repairs

If you have basic computer repair knowledge, you may not have to engage the services of a technician when performing basic repairs on the Office Linux Thinkpad Laptops/ Workstations.

Unlike other manufacturers who give repair information at a fee, Lenovo's is absolutely free. All you require is a visit to the Lenovo site, and you can access the servicing guide for the model you are dealing with. Also noteworthy is that the instructions are quite straightforward and clear.

Lastly, your warranty remains intact even if you open your Mini PC Linux Thinkpad to fix a few things here and there, such as the battery or screen replacement.

The upside of the ease of use and repair is that you'll save quite a lot. Also, it ensures that you understand the working of your laptop inside out. This is especially important if you are a coder.

Robustness and Durability

However cautious you are when using your laptop, the occasional dropping of your laptop is inevitable. Unfortunately, for most brands, falling means the end of the computer. But not with the Linux Thinkpad laptops made to withstand any kind of fall.

In this regard, it is arguably the best Linux desktop/ Laptop that you'll come across.

The laptops can survive falls made of carbon fibre that the average computer will not withstand. This is quite an essential feature as laptops are not designed for use at a single station.

You might have noticed that carrying a laptop around causes the hard disk to get loose for some brands. This will not happen a million times that you carry your Lenovo Laptop. It’s made to withstand rough conditions, and the internal components are firmly connected to the sturdy casing.

Also, there's is the common problem of fluids spilling on your Office 365 Linux laptop, causing issues with the motherboard. Some Linux Thinkpad laptops have a mechanism to ensure that this fluid is evacuated soon enough before it becomes an issue.

Linux Ports Galore

If you are looking for the best Linux Laptop with the highest number of ports, simply settle for the Thinkpad series. There's quite a host of them, including a VGA port, mini DisplayPort, 2 USB 2, and 3 ports.

Additionally, the laptops feature an Ethernet port that allows you to connect to a network seamlessly.

Also, if you want to introduce your SD card to the computer, there's an SD port to facilitate it. In addition, it also features a DVD drive which is handy for programmers who want to enter programs into the device.

Thanks to docks available at Linux stores, you can also convert your Linux Thinkpad laptop to a workstation.
