How are today's ThinkPads (which are probably different from ThinkPads<br>
from years ago)?<br></blockquote><div><br>There seem to be a notion for slimming down things. Less ports and no DVD (aka secondary HDD bay) bay anymore. Keyboard on newer models is a bit weird too. F keys row has been combined with media keys and end/insert/delete/etc keys have very unusual arrangement. But Linux seems to be still well supported.<br>I am using T420 which probably won't fit your needs since it's a bit aged and can't do more than 2 monitors. But I had a chance to use their latest T450 model for a few days with Linux and it seemed ok with no apparent issues. It has x3 USB 3.0 ports, VGA + mini DP, 16GB RAM max, matte display, M.2 SSD slot (don't know if it can be used as boot device), and the rest of the usual - RJ-45, WiFi, Bluetooth, multicard reader, WWAN depending on the configuration. No idea about maximum supported monitors though.<br></div></div></div></div>
