Lenovo ThinkPad X240 & Xubuntu

Logo Lenovo Thinkpad

Pekan lalu saya memesan mesin baru, Lenovo ThinkPad X240. Secondhand. Harganya lumayan miring juga dengan spesifikasi nggak jelek-jelek amat:

Kondisi fisik

Kondisinya secara fisik masih bagus. Cuma engsel kanan yang bunyi krek-krek saat dibuka-tutup. Juga baterainya agak sedikit longgar/goyang. Tapi jarang ada kelihatan lecet.

Kebiasaan

Saya agak kagok dengan papan ketiknya karena belum terbiasa. Bukan ketika mengetik huruf dan angka, tapi ketika menggunakan tombol-tombol seperti:

Tekan+ShftMuncul+ShftLetak
\|<>di antara Shift dan Z
~#\|di samping Enter (Return)

Tombol Fn dengan LED, dekat Ctrl

Selain itu malah jadi sangat nyaman:

Sistem operasi

Meskipun tertulis di casing bahwa mesin laptop Lenovo ini dilengkapi dengan Windows 7 sebagai sistem operasi original, tetapi penjual mendistribusikan mesin second ini dengan sistem operasi Windows 10.

Tetap saja. Satu hari setelah cek keadaan hardware sebisanya, untuk memastikan kondisi benar-benar baik dan tidak cacat, saya langsung instal sistem operasi Xubuntu 18.04.

Yaa… Begitulah…
