Convince me not to buy a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead of an old Thinkpad x230.
Yoga:
1080p
IPS
8GB ram
128GB ssd
touchscreen for watching porn in bed!
i5
Thinkpad:
the retarded 13xx x xxxx resolution
IPS
8GB ram
180GB ssd
i7
They are both the same price when you add a new battery to the x230
how do you even find an old thinkpad x230t in good condition? I've been looking on ebay and they all look like shit
can you post a link to the one you were looking at OP?
No, im not going to link ; ^) It's sold by a local company with warranty.
can you tell me how to go about finding a decent one
fuck mate i just want a laptop to watch anime in bed should i just get the yoga
i didn't even really consider it because it doesn't have the cool swivel thing the x230t has
I would get yoga if I was you
can I install Linux on Yoga?
Any laptop processor that is not HQ is a bad investment, because you can get the power of the processor inside a 1000 $ + laptop for 100$ ( example i3 6100 )
Yoga:
Superfish
Thinkpad:
No superfish
>Fan
Inb4 kill computer watching porn in bed
yeah but what if I am discussing stock options with my business associate at the conference room table and I have to swivel my screen to show him my lorenz curve probability plot of our comparative wealth to prove his inferiority?
on the yoga I would have to pick up and turn the laptop like a fucking moron
This is the only important question.
would would you pay so much for low specs
>low specs
Are you autistic? Portability, display and battery life is what matters on a laptop
Why *doesn't* Lenovo stick high-res screens on the X series?
Rip battery life if you get a hq CPU, might as well buy a smaller desktop since you will be plugged in all the time
Literally worst ducking keyboard and track pad ever.
I ducking hate it. Hinges are weAK and do is the casing.
Tbh it's Allright for casual shit posting and watching shows, but anything that requires clicking or typing sucks.
I bought one for my gf but she doesn't use it so I do
Yes I've booted puppy and mint
No you flip the screen and show the gentleman across from you
Hence yoga.
Booting arch as my dd on my yoga 2 pro for about 5 months now. Honestly works perfectly
What should i get for programming? No fucking thinkpad
Get the Thinkpad, yoga a piece of shit bad build quality and the battery life is not that great, pic related it's my piece of shit yoga memelaptop
T420 with coreboot and upgrade to ivy bridge
Isn't the screen resolution a problem on the x2X0t computers?
Is it possible to upgrade the screen to HD?
>not reinstalling the OS right away
And pray for no firmware/hardware level botnet.
Y50-70
Decent laptops for sure
>NEET sticker
>WEEABO AND PROUD sticker
I feel sad.
XPS 13, you fucking retard.
I'd probably just get a 'gaming' laptop for that kind of money.
OP here:
why is it so fucking impossible to find a ~13" laptop with SSD, i5u, IPS display and good battery life?
it's not
you're just poor, and can't/don't want to afford them
Isn't that exactly what the one in the OP post is?
Hmm reviews say the keyboard is actually pretty good
Buy a Carbon X1 OP
This other OP and friends proved it's the official notebook of Sup Forums, this isn't even I joke, I legitimately can't fault the points they've raised
convertables are shit
>2000€
It's 3x as much as the Yoga
Care to elaborate? The idea that you can use a convertable more convenient in bed seems nice
>using the smiley with a carat nose
Also 3x as better
>Glossy screen
>Touchscreen
Not even once. Also instead of getting two things designed for a sole purpose you're getting a meet-me-in the middle half baked version of each in one,
Just get a regular laptop and use your phone in bed
