+comfy
+works well with Linux
-shit battery life
-loose corner on keyboard bezel drives my autism to the max
It's still on warranty so I might just have lenovo replace the bezel eventually.
Wish I had:
Surface Book

im fine with my think pad but if i really really had money i would get a newer think pad, or a modern day laptop made in america.
Dell inspiron 13" 5000
Pros
>1080p on 13.3 is gorgeous
>2 in 1 is nice for media consumption
>certified aka perfect Linux compatibility
>6.5 hour battery but very thin and light
>centered track pad and good chicklet Kb
>user serviceable ram and hdd, only a few screws
Cons
>at 500 I'm nit picking here
>track pad isn't comparable to a macs
>no ethernet
>inferior build quality compared to ThinkPad
>4gb ram is soldered so only one slot but I guess 12 gb is enough
Folded screen facing up
> MSI GT70 20D or some shit like that
+ has 3 SSDs in RAID 0 so it's pretty fast
+ runs silently and cool (when not playing games)
+ can literally do almost everything I need of it
- thicc
- heavy
- shite battery
8/10 would recommend this portable desktop. Personally don't use it for gaming but it is pretty good at that if you don't mind it sounding like a jet is going to take off next to you.
Would get something more portable the next time with better battery but still with an SSD as that makes all the difference.
Current laptop?
HP shitbox. Don't even know what model. Someone was gonna throw it away, so I am using it.
shit / 10
My other laptop? It's an Acer. It has an i7 in it. I have had it for a few years. Loved it, till it started breaking. First the keyboard, then the hinge. Started using it on a table only, now the power cord has busted. So
Broken / 10.
When it's not broken, it's decent. Has a Samsung 840 PRO, 8gb Corsair Dominator. It runs OK I guess. I am too cheap for what the " upgraded " version would be. I will just fix that shitbox and use it for a couple more years.
light as fuck, durable and fast. just got it monday so i can give my little sister my laptop i bought last year.
only issue is web browsing which might be a ram issue.
do i wish i had something else? if by computer you mean gun than yes.
i probably wont replace this at least until 2018.
>Acer Aspire V5-552G
Pros:
-None
Cons:
-Everything
Would want:
-Anything else
Hp pavilion X360 13 inch
+ i3 5th generation
+ great battery life
+ can act as a tablet
- shit trackpad
- 1366x768
- shit brightness
> wish i had 1080p screen
only use it for school idk
>acer aspire v5-573g
oddly enough, I have never had hardware issues with this, or even build-quality ones, has a haswell i5 dq, 8gb ram, a gt 750m, I replaced the hdd for a small ssd, the shit realtek wireless adaptor for an intel one and have 12gb ram now, it easily lasts me 8 hrs and 10 when I'm just using sumatra and word
would want: that cheese tacky looking acer predator 21:9
Thinkpad X220
+ Light and portable
- Too small screen to do the work I usually do
Elitebook 8560W
+ Powerful beast
- Weight and size makes it somewhat unwieldy
Would want: nothing. Having those two fulfill all my needs. Maybe if someone offered me a Thinkpad Yoga I would consider taking it.
>- Too small screen
for some reason i like smaller screens. i bought a x220 and am giving my asus '15 to my sister.
also my tv is '22. i guess i make up for it by owning a big ass SUV.
Itautec A7520
Pros:
- Power consumption is low as fuck, so it lasts a bit even though the battery is dead.
- Works better with GNU/Linux than with Windows + official drivers
Cons:
- Netbook-tier hardware from 2011/12
- 1366x768 screen with light bleeding
- Bulky while being weak as hell
- Shit battery (Almost dead by now)
- Shit touchpad
- Average keyboard
- Old AMD APU with no Vulkan and shitty OpenGL performance, needs to dual boot Windows for light gaming
Would want:
Anything else, I hate this piece of shit. At least it was cheap. Worst part is that even though it's netbook stuff, it is on a gigantic case, which makes it even shitter since it is underpowered hardware in a bulky package.
I would love a X220 tho, I hope to get one next year.
what is the 2016 Sup Forums recommendation for a laptop like the thinkpad t520
That looks nice. Is the keyboard backlit?
Work laptop
>Yoga 2 Pro
+dat screen
+light and thin as fuck
+tablet mode is great for movies
+aight speakers
- 4/5hrs battery life
-non-upgradeable
-integrated GPU shits itself on a regular basis
-keyboard is subpar compared to a T/W/E series
What would I get:
A fucking beefed up Surface Book 2. Yes. Yes, I would. I need a raise.
Home laptop
>ThinkPad T420
+dat keyboard
+dat comfiness
+dat build quality and ruggedness
+linux compatibility
+upgradeable as fuck
-shit screen
-shit battery lfie
-integrated GPU can only handle 1 external monitor
What would I get:
Been dreaming about an X250/X260 with full hd screen, beefed up specs.
Or a fucking Acer TravelMate shit, because why the fuck not.
Or the fucking Surface Book 2.
I'm using a Chromebook.
I wish I had a laptop that had a touch screen good enough for drawing with a pen.
But I'm a thirdworlder and shit like that would cost an arm.
Shit guys, this is the most cordial thread I've seen on Sup Forums in a long while.
When I have to, I still use an ancient Asus N51Vn from 2009, literally with a 240M and P8700 core 2 duo.
+ It's survived 7+ years of hard use
+ Non-chiclet keyboard is infinitely better than any chiclet
- GPU has been artifacting and crashing from day 1. Downclocking sort of helped.
I just bought a used Clevo P650RE3 from ebay for $850, with a 970M and 6700HQ. Going to pick it up at my parents' in a couple weeks. A bit sad though that the seller's pics were shitty and didn't show how much shine is apparently on the keys and trackpad (after just 7 months of use?).
>Clevo P650RE3
You gonna drop Linux on that?
if it makes you feel better i am american and poor.
Sorry user, I'm a pleb and have never used GNU/Linux. Practically speaking, how would it benefit me over Windows (or in addition to, if dual booting)? For what purpose? I am but a simple man.
You're probably gone but no it isnt. I think that's a feature on the next best model the inspiron 7000 line. I bought it because there aren't as many 13.3 inch 1080p laptops with no number pad and centered track pad at a reasonable price as you may think and those things are all non negotiable for me.
>T460p
>Perfect
Can anyone rate this?
Looks like a decent deal
Msi GT70
4700MQ 770M
used it for 3 years
wtf are you browsing your web with
My bad, here's the link.
amazon.co.uk
clearly not worth it at all..
Clevo N150RD
+Cheap
+Fast
+monitor is decent but not great
+Battery life is good considering it's not running an ULV
- Doesn't support m2.nVME
- the monitor is very thin and bends
Wish I had:
A better graphics card, but the 960m isn't that bad.
Lenovo Ideapad 510
+ 1080p IPS screen
+ 6th Gen i5 and 8GB of DDR4 RAM
+ Both Intel and Nvidia GTX 940MX GPUs
+ Very good power to cost ratio
- Mediocre battery life at 3-4h
- Not very portable
- Not really laptop's fault but Linux doesn't like the dual GPU situation, it's either screen tearing or buggy bumblebee driver shit. REEEE
I have a shitty Dell Inspiron 1545
+Around 5 hours of battery (after buying one of those batteries that pop out of the back)
-shitty screen resolution
-shitty keyboard
-shitty key layout
-heavy
-thick
-fingerprint magnet
-cd tray accidentally pops out a lot
-slow
-hot
Current:
Thinkpad E540
+ Trackpoint
+ Decent battery life
+ Managed to upgrade it to 1080p IPS (from 1366x768), SSD instead of optical drive and 16GB of RAM
- That's pretty much all I can upgrade, E-series is meh
- No dedicated trackpoint buttons
- No USB3
I routinely shock the fingerprint scanner because ESD is my superpower or something, sometimes it dies for a week then starts working again. It just won't die.
Wish I had:
Thinkpad X1 carbon / T550 / T560
Why? Is there anything better on amazon around that price? Is there every any point even asking?
I have 2
Thinkpad t420s
+ got for cheap (250 with 16 gigs ram, 500 GB HDD 1600×900 display, i5 2520m, which for my area was about the best price)
+ robust construction
- doesn't play nicely with eGPUs
- need to get a battery for it but them little shits are pricey
Asus k401
+ battery life is really nice
+ more robust than I expected it to be
+ 4 usb ports are nice, esp. 2 USB 3.0
- soldered 4 GB makes it a pain to update RAM (not all that needed 8 GB is alright except when doing work stuff)
- something in it makes a clicking noise when I move it too quickly, hoping it's not the HDD.
Me:
Thinkpad T420
+everything
Wish I had:
Nothing else
Thank you Sup Forums
ThinkPad T60 - 15.4"
+ near perfect
- screen is meh but OK. T43p was better
Thinkpad X200
+ also near perfect
- no hdmi
wish I had Thinkpad W701
or G41 just for fun
Toshiba E45B
+ Sleek full metal design
+ Full HD display
+ Perfect Keyboard
+ Decent 7h+ battery life
- Shit 6GB RAM (upgradeable through, I haven't gotten around to doing it)
- Shit 750 GB HDD (again uppable, I'll install a SSD soon)
- Shit touchpad
Overall pretty neat laptop.
Current main:
Dell XPS 9550
+Compact 15 inch display
+Decently fast quad core
+Easily user serviceable
+Frame is stiff and torsion resistant
+84Whr battery gives decent life for light use
~Glossy UHD touchscreen saps power
~Thunderbolt 3 is neat, but can use more ports
~Touchpad and keyboard are okay
-Noticeable off-angle color shift and strong color smearing. Smear very noticeable with text scrolling or grayscale images. Minimum backlight is also somewhat bright.
-A little coil whine, but very difficult to hear except late night.
-Carbon fiber/plastic is prone to smudges that resist removal
-Still a few bugs, but much better now than at release
If the screen color wasn't so bad, I would be much more comfortable with it. Still in the return window, but I'm not sure what to replace it with.
Currently replaced my 5 year old laptop with the TabPro S. It might not be a laptop classified as a laptop but fuck it
+sAMOLED Display
+ Thin as fuck design
+ Battery is excellent
+ fanless
-/+ Keyboard is not good nor great. But is included in the box unlike the surface pro 4 so it could be a plus
- only usb type C port
- fanless means only have an M3 cpu
- 4GB of ram
- tiny storage
- Cannot be upgraded
T410
+ larger screen than I had in my last 4 laptops (2 of which were netbooks, but whatever)
+ ultrabay for my pile of 2.5" HDDs from previous 4 laptops
+ everything good about ThinkPads (sturdy, keyboard, light, clitmouse, etc.)
- battery charges to about 40%
- too lazy to figure out how to use switchable graphics under linux
Dream laptop:
I've kinda had an itch for a Pixel ever since they came out however many years ago, just for the sleekness, but I also wouldn't mind an X220 to replace my slightly broken X200
same laptop senpai, got it for 400 :)

What are your temps?
Just got a 12 inch one, battery holds for ~5 horus of mild usage (browsing, Heroes IV )
HELLO THERE FRIEND. You are not alone. Well actually mine is just a V5-552. What's the G? Dual graphics? I heard they're shit anyway. Mine has an A10-5757 with "Radeon 8650G" as graphics and 6GBs of ultra high speed 800mhz ram.
Anyway how you enjoying your piece of shit? You got any heating/fan noise issues? I've forcibly limited my CPU to 0% (As low as it will go) to 1.6ghz. I can't wait to throw this piece of shit in the trash when I get a new laptop.
Currys deal or have you had it a while?
Dell XPS 15 9550
Perfect laptop but I kind of wish I'd gone with the 13' model

I love it its really nice not having to carry one
>wish I had

:3c
I have a Mid 2010 Macbook with 5GB Ram and SSD
I wish I had a newish Macbook Air with great battery life.
Temps are not high enough for me to care. It rarely ever gets noticeably hot unless I'm playing a game.
Primary: Memepad X201T
+Wonderful keyboard
+Good size for shitposting/cozy useage
+Plays well with Linux, minus tablet
-Speakers only work when they want, a big problem
-Got the weak 1.07 ghz i5 one, so now I want a better main computer and can't justify upgrades
-Tablet started malfunctioning by having ghost touching. Don't care about a touch screen much anyways, so just disabled it (I got it fairly cheap to begin with)
Also,
Old C2D HP DV6-1250US
+it's only ever needed a HD replaced in over 7 years
+Keyboard was ok when new
-housefire
-battery life has always sucked
-2 ghz C2D is to weak for modern usuage.
Also have another newer 17" HP pavillion. great screen, but shit compatibility with Linux, quality issues, etc. Gave it to the woman.
>Pros
-Only cost about $400 used
-Nice screen and decent keyboard and battery life
-Quiet and doesn't heat up
-Big upgrade on my last laptop
>Cons
-Used
-Trackpad is poor. Occasionally interprets a double tap/click as a tap and hold. Also right click space is quite small.
-Bluescreens often, have to fix
-Was missing screws so my bottom cover is short one. I had to move one bottom screw to use for the SSD because it was the one missing.
>Want
Probably the Surface Book
X220
-shitty screen with cancer resolution
+everything else
Why does no perfect laptop for me exist?
Surface Book
+ amazing high-res 3:2 display
+ touchscreen
+ pen input
+ good battery life
+ dedicated GPU
- can't be properly opened
- stupid hinge design
- detachable keyboard can be glitchy
- kinda heavy
Thinkpad X1 Yoga
+ robust, easy to service, can replace drive
+ best hinge design, fast to change into tablet mode and no keyboard glitches
+ pen is stored inside the case and doesn't require batteries
+ trackpoint
- 16:9 display
- mediocre battery life
- no SD card slot
Macbook Pro 2016
+ thin and light
+ amazing 16:10 display
+ best trackpad
+ Mac OS
+ good battery life
- proprietary SSD
- no SD card slot
- no USB 3 slots
- no tablet mode or touch screen or pen input

Cons
>Screen resolution is crap compared to most recent laptops, add to that that newer versions of macOS look worse on this screen than older ones because they optimized it for the retina ones
>I paid the premium for the dual core i7 although there is literally no noticeable benefit over the dual core i5, so I effectively drained 100$ or so in 2012

Current: MSI GE62 6QD
pretty lightweight for what it offers, low power consumption compared to many gaming laptops, has as much power as I'll ever need on-the-go
Laptop I wish I had: Cannot think of a situation in which I'd want a new one beyond actually needing a new one in several years, since anything requiring more power can be done on a desktop (i5 6600k, still waiting on the 1070 then it will be complete)
Memepad X250
>Cons
Shit build
Shit display (a bit of backlight bleed, flickering)
Shit price
>Neutral
So-so battery life with the non-extended battery
Meh trackpad (sure it's got a trackpoint, but there's no excuse at this price point)
The keyboard
>Pros
At least it's got ports and runs Linux well
Current:
>Thinkpad X220
Aside from the screen resolution, onboard GPU performance and age of hardware I honestly consider this to be the perfect laptop.
Do want:
X250 or better, just for the points the X220 is lacking.
They have some other "disadvantages" like the new keyboard (which is by no means a bad one but I like the old one more), the more "I want to look pretentious"-design and probably something else, but over all I think they're better laptops.
>Gamer mug

>Current laptop
2016 Macbook
>rate it
8/10. The screen is perfection, the keyboard is honestly really nice feeling and great for typing quickly once you're used to it, the trackpad is quite honestly the best I have ever used, and the speakers are fucking amazing.
However, the battery life is fairly poor if you run any web browser that isn't Safari the battery life plummets, and desu the fact that they couldn't afford to include a USB C to A adapter in the box when they could afford to throw a pair of $300 headphones at me for free is kind of bullshit.
>Wish I had
This very same laptop. There is no other laptop out right now that meets my wants for a laptop. I want proper support for a Unix or Unix-like environment, low power consumption, passive cooling, and a nice small footprint. Before this I had a Dell Chromebook 13 (support for anything but Chrome OS was fucking awful, never get a Chromebook unless you're really that desperate). And before that I had a Thinkpad X200s which was nice other than the battery that would just fall out of its own accord.
