Sure.

2011:

- W520/T520 (maximum resolution: 1920x1080)

- T420s (maximum resolution: 1600x900)

- X220 (maximum resolution: 1366x768)

2012:

- W530/T530 (maximum resolution: 1920x1080)

- T430s (maximum resolution: 1600x900)

- X230 (maximum resolution: 1366x768)

2018:

- T480 (maximum resolution: 1920x1080 or more)

2020:

- T14 GEN1 (Intel) (maximum resolution: 1920x1080 or more)

- T14 GEN1 (AMD) (maximum resolution: 1920x1080 or more)

Newer models also work like the light ThinkPad X1 Carbon GEN5/GEN6/GEN7/GEN8/... for example.

The good thing about T530 (and T520) is that You can put there the same Quad Core CPU that W520/W530 has :)

I own these and they also work great with FreeBSD:

ThinkPads:

- W520/W530/T520/T530/X220/X230/T420s

- T480

- T14 GEN1 (Intel)

- T14 GEN1 (AMD)

I needed to replace MediaTek WiFi card on T14 (AMD) into some Intel WiFi one.

Hope that helps.

No one prevents You from installing Linux in a Bhyve VM and running Docker there.

Overhead of FreeBSD Bhyve Hypervisor is about 0.5% (measured in benchmarks) so You loose nothing.

Here You have easy and complete jumpstart into Bhyve in FreeBSD:

For the record - just tested it on 15.x and `/usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh` works well.

By the way - does 32bit packages 'problem' for WINE has been resolved on 15.x series?

On 14.x and older versions WINE brings `/usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh` to keep 32bit packages for WINE32 ... but 15.x does not build 32bit packages anymore ...

I also regret that change.

Big downgrade after moving to Linux:
