I am looking at several laptops, all of them support 3.1 Gen1 except the Thinkpad E480 which has 3.1 Gen2...
I intend to use the laptop for web browsing(lotsa tabs) , programming and compiling among other things. I want the boot-up time to be fast too.
I want to install Linux on an external USB SSD , Will I notice a difference between Gen1 and Gen2 ?
-------------------------------------------------------------
part two of my question:
It is confirmed that the M.2 slot on the E480 supports PCIe NVMe x2, and not x4. I am not sure the HP or Dell models I am looking at support x4 since it is not mentioned anywhere in the manual...Do you think that they do support x4 ?
Will I see a difference in performance between x2 and x4 PCIe NVMe SSDs for the above mentioned tasks ?
if you were me, would you buy the thinkpad, HP or DELL ?
