Yeah. Win 7 is NT 6.1.... they jumped from Windows 8.1 which is NT 6.3 to NT 10, which is Windows 10 and so on, so it's in step now. "winver" will show the version too from the run dialogue box.

Yeah. 😀👍 The computer game. Had to be played in a University lab . was very popular. Nolan Bushnell got the bug and started in game development after playing it. Ultimately it was the genesis for Atari and other vector games. He commercialised it 9 years later as Computer Space. It was popular.

There are multiple Yoga ranges. There are non-thinkpad Yoga's. I'd steer clear of those. The ultimate TP Yoga is the X1 Carbon model.

Very expandable into a full computer. I used to do my homework on mine with the SX32 expansion. Printer attached and everything.

Had a quick look at that ideapad... It's quite big... not an ultrabook. I stand by my statement about "if you can buy it on the high street" etc. but if you must have "new" and get a warranty and tolerate the build quality it should do a job. 👍 Good luck.

I don't know the ideapad range. What series is your 2011 one? I've had loads since 2007. At work our standard is T-series. I've got 5 laptops to return next week when my job ends. 2x T14's an old T450 an Elitebook and a Latitude 😄

Yeah, but you have to be careful. There's Yoga models which aren't Thinkpads. Those aren't as well made. ThinkPad is it's own division and (higher) grade of laptop. Like Elitebook (HP) and Latitude are for Dell. If you can't buy it in the "high street" that's a start. Avoid consumer grade.

Only Lenovos worth considering are the ThinkPad models. Enterprise class...NASA use them. Get someone else to do the depreciation. Lots of spares for them. They are bought in bulk in corporate and moved on after 3 or so years.... Cracking used deals to be had from specialist sellers.

I got a ThinkPad Yoga X13 for £230 on eBay. Intel 10th gen I5 with 16GB ram. Condition of it is amazing and it's lighting fast for CachyOS Linux. It replaces my ThinkPad Yoga 12 that lasted me 10 years. Both come with a powered Stylus too. Laptop is foldable too. 👍🤓

I loved those Richard Scarry books. Lowly was great... Must have inspired the Outspan mobile.

it does look quite nice that. I wonder if it rifles through your phone when you hook it up 😀. My Fave electric car is the one i found in Forza Horizon 5 - it feels like cheating: CUPRA forza.fandom.com/wiki/CUPRA_U...

Sod them. Chelsea tractors... I'm sick of trying to park next to them at the club... In other news I like the look of the Civic Hybrid. I'll probably get one.

People drive like idiots in SUV's. They love to drive on the opposite side of the road when there's parked cars and expect you to wait,when I know if they just keep to their side both of us will get through without the need to stop. They lack spacial awareness, they are too big and take up too much
