I’m not a pro, or especially familiar myself, but I know that because Vim is command-based, people like that they can accomplish significant edits with it using only a couple keep strokes. It’s like learning another language but if you take the time, I’m told, to do so, then you reap substantial efficiency rewards which make other text editors feel limited by comparison.

Then I mean a later year because my girlfriend and I each own X1s from around that time which we bought on eBay. Mine, I believe, was listed as a 2018. Hers is a year newer. So those figures might need budged but I do not mean a T480.

Unless you’re just recommending a T480 over an X1, in which case, I apologize for stepping all over your punchline.

Preowned ThinkPad. You can get a 2018 or so X1 Carbon for $400 or less on eBay.
