How much of a meme is a 34mm usb 3.0 card? I heard once you stick it in you can barely get it out and gets hot and you get low speeds.
Julian Clark
Seriously, where can I find a battery for the x61t that's actually compatible with the dock
Daniel Harris
Look on ebay for ones that look like this on the bottom. I'd offer to sell you mine but I don't trust you and one of the clips broke off in it.
Jaxson Cooper

Jordan Martinez
I'm going to buy either the t460 or t460s. Despite being almost 300$ more expensive the s version has wqhd, faster SSD and better materials.
However I read some reports of people saying the 460s trackpoint is shite. Does someone have either of these models?
Aaron Clark
I have a T460s,
Trackpoint was no problem for me, but have heard others bitch moan about it.
Easily modded to fix if you aren't happy with it though.
Lucas Ross
I have an x230t, and it seems like my display panel is starting to give. What's the best replacement panel to buy? And is it possible to use one of those 1080p panels that are used in the x230 (non-tablet)?
Julian White
How do you like it in general, and what made you buy it over the 460?
Daniel Cruz
>buy used stinkpad >remove stupid stickers >left with this shit
Time to buy a MBP it seems.
Camden Mitchell
They will blend in after a week or 2 of use.
Levi Sanchez
Just buy a new palmrest on eBay, its like $20
Cameron Williams
Bought it in January and have used it a lot since then, still hasn't worn down.
Considering it since the palm wrest is also a little cracked. I can only find chinkshit ones though that don't have the StinkPad logo on them, are they any good? Not worth me importing a palmrest from the US to the UK for a cheapo laptop.
Also noticed today the dumbshit previous owner must have dropped it because the display is bent on one side.
Anthony Wilson
Very happy with it, work in IT supp for a large company. T460s are the current staff refresh model which was picked by higher ups purely because it weighed less.
Depending on what your intended use is, it's a solid release, and you seen the edges? I enjoy occasionally running my finger along it.
Jackson Jenkins
Normal work stuff, relatively demanding software in terms of memory but less so in cpu. So the reason I'm considering the 460 is because upgrading the ram is easier. I could just add a second 8gb stick instead of replacing the 4gb with 16 (in addition to the soldered 4gb).
Other than that I heard the 460s is really built better
James Kelly
My x220 has screen tearing near the center of the screen when I scroll up or down in my browser. What am I doing wrong?
Parker Harris
What's the best relatively cheap eGPU? I'd do the research by myself if I had any idea where to look
Cameron Flores
Fuck you.
Andrew Baker
Didn't enable any tear free options.
Jeremiah King

Easton Stewart
Is $300 CAD a reasonable price for a T420s with 6gb ram, 1600x900 screen and a 250gb HDD with a 500GB hdd in the ultra bay? The battery is at 90%
Charles Clark
t420 or t430? Leave the keyboards out of the equation
Kevin Evans
Are X250 and X260 slower than the X230?
James Jenkins
Both are garbage, TXXX or kys.
Brandon Clark
Is X250 a good Thinkpad? I need a laptop for work.
Juan Russell
True, plus, at least on linux, I have issues with most devices plugged into the card (they work OK with 2.0 ports).
Gavin Kelly
Txxx?
Jason Carter
Best distribution for an X220?
Grayson Gonzalez
Arch.
Jordan Johnson
I did a google search of 'goat tier egpu' and bought 5 of them currently playing crysis with twin GTX1080 on my T43p
T430 will have USB 3.0, better processor/graphics and an longer battery but will only use OEM batteries.
If you are fine with a 12" display.
Gavin Hughes
Does anyone have any advice for debadging a Thinkpad, or at least tastefully obscuring the logos?
I removed the palm decal(?), and while I like it more than a logo I'm not the biggest fan. I was thinking of covering the exterior in some type of black tape or sticker.
I think trying to perfectly match the logos would look weird, so I'm thinking about just solid black lines, just big enough to obscure them.
I have black duct tape and electrical tape but think these would wear quickly and end up tattered and gross. Has anyone tried this or implemented something else that could help with my autism?
Liam Cruz
You can get one of the chink palmrests without the logo. For the lid you'd probably have to cover it up, the carbon fiber vinyl wraps are pretty neat looking
Angel Sanchez
1.) Get a polystyrene sheet and cut to size/shape 2.) Modeling cement 3.) Putty to fill the inevitable gaps around the edges for a smooth finish 4.) Sand it. 5.) Sand it again. 6.) More sanding. 7.) Paint it. Rattle cans are good enough, assuming you get your paint from a model shop and not from a hardware store. You will never get an exact color match, so you'll have to paint the whole thing. Naturally, this means disassembling the computer.
Ian Howard
get a chink one off of banggood
Henry Nelson
Just bought a T430s, does it have horrible battery life like the T420s?
Hudson Nguyen
Is the T series a lot more fitting for the 1080p resolution?
Caleb Price
T5XX*
Michael Miller
Nothin personell but I hope you die in your sleep for debadging a StinkPad.
My T500's charger isn't working anymore, are 3rd party chargers fine or do I need to find a genuine Lenovo charger for 'best performance'?
Blake Perez
Is L430 on same quality level as T420?
Dylan Watson
This is a joke right.
This has to be a joke.
Jonathan Kelly
Thinking of getting a cheap thinkpad to load gentoo on to carry around anyone with an x60, how does it perform? I only plan to do web browsing and programming really
Xavier Peterson
lol no
Jonathan Thompson
I just got a T420 touch, love it so far. Perfect for what I needed it for, which was shitposting, porn, coding practice, wating movies, and some gaming (in that order). Side note- I really didn't think I'd use the touchscreen at all and I actually use it quite a bit. It makes scrolling down pages super convenient when laying on the couch reading/shitposting here.
Jeremiah Howard
Carbon fiber vinyl does sound neat
I don't know how I feel about a full repaint but this is a solid plan. I feel like bc it can't be a perfect match I'm almost drawn to a covering in some ways. A faint outline might be better than a tiny black box but I'm not sure.
but just like just imagine really just think solid black laptop no identifying factors besides its form how doesn't that bring you to orgasm?
Hudson Thomas
Elaborate
Josiah Thomas
I'm not you and only guys with tits make me orgasm.
Parker Wilson
>270 (two hundred and seventy) pounds for that Maybe at half that price it would be a good deal.
Carter Moore
Go on, find one then faggot.
Isaiah Wood
Fuck no. You can get that for ~180usd where I live (local)
Nathan Sullivan

Don't buy IPS screens from bumblesale on ebay. They develop ghosting after 3 months and don't honour warranties.
Evan Wilson
If you bought an IPS panel for your X220/X230, they all ghost anyway.
Grayson Nelson
There are 4 different panels for the X220 and 2 of them do not have ghosting
Luke Ward
They all have ghosting. The T series (E-IPS) panels (SLT1/SLT2) just have much less than the SLB1–SLB3. The SLB3 also has much less ghosting than the SLB1.

Christian Perry
Hey guys I have a T61 with nvidia quadro NVS 140M, love this thing so much but I bought a brand new 9 cell battery and it's not charging.... Wondering if this is a common problem and the best fix.
I've tried removing the battery and AC adaptor then holding the power button down for 5 seconds, not sure why I thought that would help.
Samuel Kelly
>tfw my x220 arrives tomorrow, the extra RAM stick the day after, and the SSD on saturday
Am I cool now
Thomas Gomez
also on ebay nearly every preferred panel model listing is going to misrepresent in some way. lot of SLTx "compatible" listings. I just got what was guaranteed to be an IPS (some fools will even try to pass off a TN panel by sneaking in "uhh by the way this is a TN even though we put an IPS model # in the title. it's ~*compatible!*~") and cheapest, and lived with the ghosting
Austin Powell

Zachary Butler
>I bought a brand new 9 cell battery and it's not charging.. well send it back, don't you have a warranty of some sort? or did you buy some chink battery from a guy on the street?
Justin Rivera
>never actually handled a thinkpad or seen one in real life >order a t420 >it just came in Holy shit this is the most beautiful laptop I have ever seen.

Brody Morgan
So I found a local seller selling a T400 with a clean keyboard/touchpad (no signs of wear, no shiny keys), two official power chargerd, a 6-cell battery and a 9-cell battery (this one sealed), and the docking station, for 100$. With a 30-days warranty and the option to test it in person.
But I couldn't buy it because after making a few questions the seller went nuclear and acted very rude for no reason and said I now couldn't buy it.
Jesus...
Jacob Price
I am in love with the design. I don't have a battery yet though so its off
Adrian Fisher
Do they make numpads for the t420 that goes in the ultra bay? I have a friend who wants one for when he's working on excel n shit, but doesn't want an external thing
Evan Long
Tell him to sell the T420 and buy a T520
Matthew Gonzalez
Just installed Windows 8.1 on a T420 and it's fast as fuck and literally everything werks, battery thresholds, power manager, wireless, everything. What was the problem again? Why should I use Windows7?

What's the best thinkpad for a dual sociology and criminology major? For general purpose use word processing, google docs, research papers, etc. Able to have many active tabs open in browser and fluidly switch between for research purposes. Able to play HD video, decent battery life, nice keyboard, and durable quality (I tend to be hard on shit). Do like to watch movies and have an 8 TB HDD filled with anime and movies, but normally connect to TV.

1st gen i3/5/7's are comfy. How's the viewing angles compared to the T420?
Blake Martinez
>1440x900 screen is fucking terrible for viewing angles >1st gen core i series CPUs that enjoy mediocre performance and shit out heat It's still an alright machine to work with, but if you're serious about wanting the screen ratio then why half-arse it, just get something with 4:3.
Jonathan Evans
>1440x900 >better than 1600x900
Andrew Brooks
/tpg/'s thoughts on the new x1 carbon? VS t470? which one should I pull the trigger on?
Christian Price
Is it possible to put a T420 in a T410 case? It'd be great to have Sandy Bridge with a 16:10 screen. Alternatively, is there an aftermarket 16:10 screen for the T420?
Jack Reed
is there a laptop that's extremely easy to dissassemble (at least to the fans/processor?) because I'm too retarded to disassemble anything complicated and I'm tired of having to deal with secondhand laptops from my mother that regularly reach 100c and blackscreen (with a fresh wipe and windows install mind you)
Joshua Miller
Every time I install linux, there is always no fucking sound.
Dylan Hernandez
Seems the two models have radically different port layouts.
