Why are thinkpads so crap?

All other University's laptops work fine and log you in to the system within 10-15 seconds. Thinkpads take 4-5 minutes on average. Everyone is trying to avoid them now and use Dell instead.
Seriously what's that chinkpad meme all about?

It's the Lenovo security software delaying login until firmware handshakes with the server ATM.

>mine sux so they all do!
Literally the same idea as "works on my machine :^)"

Boots quickly on my machine :)

750 for that?? lol

>no thinklight
>true thinkpad

you poor fucker

it's to deter you from losing them, stupid

lol

10/10 bait made me reply

You're just a cunt

college aren't known for their care of electronics

it looks like the first boot. whoever set them up forgot to boot them for the first time before freezing

>I HAVE A PUSSY GUYS LOOOOOOOOK AT MEEEE
fuck off

it was shut down properly. All of them take 4-5 minutes to boot up, connect to eduroam and bring up your documents. Other laptops do that within seconds

Boots fine on my PC ;)

I apologise for my post then :^)

>gyze this specific shitty not even a real ThinkPad is crap therefore all ThinkPads are bad wtf
kys

How is that not a real ThinkPad, user? Why do you keep defending them over and over again? Just admit they are bad

you do have a point, though i can tell this is a shitpost, but for uni, most laptops will do just fine at what theyre meant to do. the real beauty in using a thinkpad is the superior ergonomics, flexibility in software (that is to say it has great lignux support le gentoo meme), reliability and strength. its just a really good value laptop you cant really go wrong with. theyre also really well priced.

but really any laptop will do for uni lol, its not like the worlds fate depends on your computer not crashing, which is what memepads are for.

>he fell for the think pad meme

This isn't the 90s any more

DELLs are also incredibly shit.

Which Mac do you have, you delusional faggot?

6 year old Thinkpad, so slow.

logo means nothing.

I'm not dumb enough to own a laptop, shit's redundant as fuck right now.

...

ok

what the fuck is that
some edge shit or something from gooknovo
thats not a thinkpad

logos dont make the machine user
try being less poor some day and grab proper thinkpad with an ssd some day
I'd recommend a X220/X230/T420/T430 or if you've got the balls and back to carry one a W520/W530
pic related. I have T430 under the keyboard

because half of Sup Forums owns a proper thinkpad maybe instead of being a faggot you should stop by and see what real thinkpads look like

OP stop being a butthurt faggot thats not a real thinkpad

Your ThinkPad circlejerk is becoming a cult-like phenomenon, you know that?

>"hurr..duurr Lenovo has the best laptops duurrr thinkpad for lifeeee"

>1st gen x1 carbon still boots in less than 10 seconds
It's been almost 5 years and still love this thing.

Did you seriously hook up an external gpu to your thinkpad?

your obsession to acknowledge that youre very wrong is really alarming
>>"hurr..duurr Lenovo has the best laptops duurrr thinkpad for lifeeee"
nobody says this. we all hate gooknovo for making shit like yours and we hate them even more because they call it a """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""thinkpad"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" when its actually a pile of trash that belongs in the ideapad line like the rest of chinknovos mistakes

yes. and its pretty fucking good desu
my 4 year old laptop with no dgpu can play doom on high

I've been thinking of doing that for awhile with my t430 until I have the time and money to get the rest of my parts.

>owning a laptop
>redundant
What if, user, you needed a portable computer, that could also be stationary?

>black intel sticker
enjoy your AMT and remote display (tm)

A girl in my uni group put an Apple sticker on her DELL, does that make it a Mac ?

With what server, some chink server. I never understood why an American business or organization would buy this gook malware hardware. About as stupid as using Kaspersky for security.

>not using live usb from your keychain on a public computer

its like you want to get spied on

And if you don't have wifi password, or boot order is locked?

what model is this anyway?

>they put the sticker below the screen instead of above so it covers the camera

It's both sad and scary to see that the idiot kiddies actually believe that smartphones replaced laptops and desktop.

>WHY IS THINKPAD SHIT
>WINDOWS

Every single time.
Also, what's it like being constantly reminded that your university doesn't trust you as you work?

>or if you've got the balls and back to carry one a W520/W530

BASED

>being this new

My T60 is over a decade old, and it doesn't take 4-5 minutes to boot Linux or Windows 10. ctrl+shift+esc -> startup -> disable everything

Likely momentum. They bought them back when they were IBM System x. After the Lenovo buyout they kept buying them.

For kids born after 2010 they pretty much did. They won't use a laptop (let alone a desktop) unless forced to, a smartphone or tablet is all they ever need.

>hurr disable everything irregardless of what it is and whether it's actually needed or not

If your system boots for 4-5 minutes it's most likely not startup items that cause the problem, and if, then it's probably just one of them, so you'd need to selectively enable one by one to pinpoint the offending item. Wasn't the boot drive switched to PIO mode by any chance (can be verified in the device manager, SATA controller properties).

>some day
>some day
some day

the chinks at gearbest sell the apparatus to plug the gpu to the laptop. Just check which models are supported.

what keyboard is that?

So what do I buy then

Get an iPad you fucking casual

Are there any laptops with keyboards like the old thinkpads had? I hate the new square layout of the keyboard and chicklet keys

>Thinkpads take 4-5 minutes on average
My T410s goes from boot to xfce4 in about 30 seconds. What the fuck?

What is this, the consumer line or a chink knockoff? Not a proper Thinkpad obviously

Stop installing your tranny porn software on it.

>Thinkpads

why would anybody use a laptop from beginnings of computer era?

...

2 years ago I found a forum here that thinkpad laptops were the best. Bought a T410 with NVS3100M 8GB RAM $260. Has worked for me since.

30 series and later thinkpads are indeed atrocious machines
