Do not get a Thinkpad if you're using it for graphic design. The screen color calibration is terrible (even when compared to low end devices)
Last I checked I think some of the Dell laptops have a decent screen (XPS, latitude lines). But they tend to be more on the pricer side.
Yeah colours on my T14s sucks, but good enough for engineering
My T480 is my favorite laptop. But this is NOT one of its use cases.
oh i see! , ill check the XPS, my budget is around $1,000ish USD, see what i can find
The XPS my dad has is amazing, but I think it was significantly more than $1k, closer to $2k.
I had nothing but bad experiences with my xps. Two fan failures and now a battery failure in the last few years.
i second this. I've owned 2 so far, the 2017 model and the refreshed 2020 model. Both have had their share of overheating issues, awful audio drivers (baked in wavemaxx sound "enhancement" that cannot be removed), hardware issues, etc. Would not recommend. The only thing they have going for them is they look so damn good
That’s not universally true. My thinkpad has the most colour accurate screen in my house. Much better then my apple laptops or pretty decent dell screens.
The issue is Lenovo will also sell absolute garbage screens, so you need to pay attention when ordering. Iirc mine was a $500 upgrade or something equally shocking.
Yeah, my school provided X280 that I later bought out for cheap had a TERRIBLE screen
