Playing around with my old ThinkPad X220 tonight. This thing is over 10 years old and runs Debian 12 (GNOME) just fine. Also, I forgot just how good the keyboard is on this thing, it's amazing!

I purchased my current laptop a year ago. It’s a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s and it’s been nearly perfect for my needs. I got the model with 16GB of RAM, I should have opted for the 32GB model. My next laptop will have 32GB or more.

With the release of GNOME 47, I’m most looking forward to persistent remote desktop sessions. I use GNOME’s RDP feature under 46 and it’s pretty great, apart from the non persistent thing.
