t460p
Kevin Ward
T470.
Anthony Rivera
T480.
Ian Myers
T420

Carson Butler
P51
Robert Bell
W700ds if you care not for portability or battery life but care about posting in Thinkpad and desktop threads.
Kevin Watson
The P51 is the best Thinkpad you can get that still has godlike build quality and massive performance.
Camden White
t420 for standard use
x220 for portability over features
x220t for ultraportability
Ryder Morales
Best one for cheap is the x220
Sebastian Gutierrez
>tfw x220
Joseph White
What is a good model under 200 bucks? I can't import anything above that (including shipping) without a 60% tax.
I guess used is my only option, used T420 from Amazon? I don't need it right now, but I'd rather cut my dick off than buy the shit that is sold locally (for exorbitant prices no less)
Ian Rodriguez
T420 or X220 are the best value, and they are relatively cheap and also easily upgradeable. If you have some money to spend, an X1 Carbon or X270 are really good.
Colton Mitchell
T420 for overall uses, if you need more portability, get the x220.
Kevin Myers
Was thinking of getting a t400, opinions?
Brandon Gonzalez
T60 is love and life
top comfy 4:3 and crazy moddable
it's the thinkpad that sells you on thinkpads

Would you be interested in selling?
Joseph Nguyen
t420, x220, t60 or x60
Charles Morris
I have one, it is very good. I've heard some of the have "keyboard flex" problems. Not a huge concern but you can replace them with t60's keyboard if you wish.
Cameron Bell
this, comfiest thinkpad imo.
Just the right size for sitting on the couch and watching movies while shitposting.
Kayden Bennett
T420 will be your best bet. The i5-2520M is a solid CPU too. Doesn't run as cool as a Broadwell but it's still a good CPU.
Blake Nguyen
using my first thinkpad, x200, very comfy but have never booted in a Windows, in GNU/Linux it runs smooth as hell
Justin King
Not OP but is it a good idea to buy say for example a T420 with the lowest specs for cheap and upgrade it personally?
Jaxon Carter
if you know for sure you are going to upgrade it and if the one with low specs is cheaper, yes. Why pay more for something a little better if you will change it anyway?
Oliver Reyes
Why not just buy one with better specs right away if you're going to upgrade it anyway
Isaiah Scott
i guess depends on what he is going to upgrade.
Nathan Thompson
X220 is the best right now.
Cooper Ward
Now let me ask you this, where is the best place to buy one?
Evan Lee
Modern: T430 and P50
Not very old: X220, X220t, T420 and W520
Modern on their website
Not very old on ebay.

The one you build yourself to suit your needs.

Forgot to include:
i7-640LM
X201s motherboard
8GB RAM
X200s 1440x900 screen
128GB SSD
9-cell battery
lasts about 11-13 hours 100-0%
Completely responsive and fast for everyday use; doing more serious work will tank it, though. Compiling the linux kernel with default configs takes 45 minutes.
Isaac Clark
looks beautiful

X40 is aesthetic, has a 10 hour battery life, and will shitpost and run most modern software. No management engine botnet either.
Logan King
fuckin love synthwave
Jaxon Morris
One without the Microsoft Windows key.
One with the IBM logo.
Sadly, it'll be slow and cramped.
If you go for a later one you'll be sacrificing quality for speed.
Leo Stewart
>The one you build yourself to suit your needs.
Assuming the tech knowledge to determine which, if any, components and arrangements will provide this and the budget to finance the work and supplies.
I doubt that anyone on this board has the necessary skills and experience to do the job.
Don't forget that self-assessment is notoriously inaccurate and always vastly above reality.
Ryder Sanders
Can confirm, running a wangblows vm under macOS for CAD without breaking a sweat.
Also, nice digits

Evan Carter

Grayson Hughes
anything without an i series processor with build in backdoor from
intel
Brandon Walker
T*20 was last series without guvmint backdoor on chip
Lucas Thomas
>Void Linux
Damn, I want to install that distro just because of the logo. I love it for some reason.
But other than that, is it good?
