Fourth for friendly reminder to ignore the 2570p shitposter[s?]. As long as you're asking for advice or support, posts about the HP EliteBooks should be fine, just don't shitpost. It eats roughly 15-30% of the thread.
Christopher Morales
What's wrong with HP elitebooks? Are they solidly built? Because they look really nice in pictures.
Dominic Thomas
People will argue about the keyboard, aesthetic, build quality, and overall everything except raw performance.
If you need a 12 inch quad core it's your best bet - but it can't compete with anything except the 12 inch X series.
Daniel Nguyen
It's not the machines that are bad themselves; they're good. It's just this shitposter that had recently come to derail discussion using the meme that is Pepe.
However, if you are looking for serious discussion, feel free to post.
meanwhile a 1.2k thinkpad gets you a shitty 1600x900 tn panel with integrated graphics

My X40 needs a new battery. The current one (extended 8 cell) lasts for about half an hour. Am I better off making it a home server?
The T41p I bought a week ago seems to work flawless with Lubuntu 14.04 and the 9-cell battery lasts 6 hours straight. Maybe next week i'll buy a PATA->SATA caddy and give it a SSD.
Isaiah Garcia
>Lubuntu 14.04 Why haven't you moved to the latest LTS? Is it too heavy for that system?
>New battery for the X40 Not worth it unless you try your luck with a chink battery. But for some reason it seems to be one of their worst products, I can only speak for myself, though...
Zachary Gomez
>14.04 Its 700mb, fits nice in a SD card and it was the ISO I had at hand. Using it as a liveCD for now as I dont have a hard drive for that machine. The only thing that bothers me is that it doesnt have the Radeon drivers, something that a fresh install should cover.
>chink batteries Yeah, they are a last resort for me. Sadly the X40 uses both 18650 cells and some flat cells. It'd be sweet to refresh the cells and get the 7 hours battery life it promised when new.
Isaiah Collins
I'm not quite sure if it's even possible to refurbish a battery, but in any case it's not recommended. You might give yourself a nice, toasty housefire in the worst of cases...
Nolan Torres
Given the laptop was threw away, I don't stand to lose much.
Any tips in converting it in a home server? The two USB2 ports might be useful for external hard drives.

You do realize you're retarded? This HP list doesn't count turbo clocks, which you've obviously added to your garbage tier t430. i7-3840qm has 3.8GHz turbo clock and you're fucking retarded if you think extra 200MHz is worth increase in power consumption and heat. kys trash

I want an IPS panel for my X200 but I can only find Viewiz-branded ones. a couple forum posts tell me they're the same as BOE, just rebranded.
can anyone confirm this? or am I buying Chink shit?
Tyler Rivera
USB 2 speeds are a bit slow and might be overloaded if you ever happen to have too much clients on the server. Otherwise, you should find documentation on Google for hosting specific services, such as perhaps game servers.
>60654234 Oh, it's you again. You don't relent from derailing the thread with your shitposting, do you?

Nah if you have the cash then pick up a battery for it and take it out to Starbucks. Also Lubuntu is such a meme. Debian unstable + XFCE is the way to go for old dankpads.

why arent you running 9front on your thinkpad?
William Phillips
is there any way to replace the nvidia 1000m gpu on a thinkpad w520 other than completely replacing the motherboard with a 2000m already in place?
seems like it's impossible, but just wanted to check for sure.
Jackson Hernandez
Pretty sure that's impossible, yeah.
Tyler Collins
I'm assuming it's soldered. look for someone who does reballing jobs, they usually advertise as YLoD and RRoD repair.
it's probably gonna be expensive though, plus finding the chip. and it might crap itself.
Adam Phillips

Henry Davis
2570p has a very bad screen, how can the HP fag defend this?
Josiah Roberts
2570p stock screen is better than stock x220/x230. And it can always be replaced with IPS screen if you want your own eye cancer.
Bentley Green
Has anyone care attempted the T430u meme?
It's an x1 carbon with two RAM slots (16GB max instead of 8GB, and not soldered), and it's as thin as the Carbon at its thickest, so the footprint is nearly identical. The only issue is the top bezel is god fucking awful looking, but it has a ThinkLight (the only Ultrabook with one), and the stock screen has to be replaced to get 1600 x 900.
Nathaniel Jenkins
What is the best thinkpad with reasonable hardware to do number crunching?
Caleb Hernandez

Justin Murphy
anything with a CPU capable of doing whatever task you have in mind?
just look up some benchmarks.
Nolan Perez
Still looking for someone who has a Thinkpad Helix 3xxx. I've tried all sorts of ways of getting the drivers I need, but the only way to find out what drivers I need is by looking at a similar computer.

>2570p stock screen is better than stock x220/x230. Accroding to notebookcheck's tests, the x230 IPS is much better than the 2570p TN. >if you want your own eye cancer. What the fuck does that even mean?
I just want my laptop to be readable in the sun.
Owen Brown
I'm talking about tn vs tn stock 2570p tn is better than stock x230 tn >What the fuck does that even mean? x220/x230 IPS screen is known for: 1. Having 3x increased power consumption 2. Developing burns in the inner layer of LCD screen after long periods of use 3. Having "ghosting" effect which affects Gaymur(TM) experience and watching movies/browsing net it also hurts eyes even at 50% backlight, so have fun using it for more than 30 minutes.
>readable in the sun Do you work outside?
Justin Morgan
>I just want my laptop to be readable in the sun. then what stops you from replacing 2570p tn with x230 ips screen? You hate having more corez, is that right?
Aiden Ortiz
>I'm talking about tn vs tn >stock 2570p tn is better than stock x230 tn Okay. But X230 is sold with also an IPS option. Is 2570p sold with an IPS option? >Do you work outside? Yes.
Caleb Adams
read but if you work in hot environment in full sun you might want to go with x230 instead. Using quad core cpu in high temperatures is not fun.
Colton Price
I didn't know those screens were compatible.

Strip it apart as far as it will go Dry with a cloth Leave in the sun/hot room/airing cupboard if you Americans have them Toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol to clean any corrosion Leave it to dry for a day or so
Free t420
Alternatively: slap an i7 in there or flash coreboot and stick an ivy bridge i7 in it
Josiah Jones
Market segmentation. You're basically paying for the brand.
I have this device and the build quality is better than many recent ThinkPads. In fact, the build quality varies a lot from model to model, there's little significance to the series (ThinkPad, IdeaPad). There are ThinkPads with shitty build quality and IdeaPads with excellent build quality.
Angel Cruz
Where can I get a cheap ThinkPad in this shithole called Brazil? Most sellers won't ship to here and it seems overly expensive and in bad shape on the local market.
Josiah Miller
Your best bet would probably be a forwarder that ships to the huelands. Are ThinkPads really screwed in the local market over there? I mean, you won't get them in mint condition that often, but I'm curious about it.
David Baker
sorry, but I've never recommended overclocking 2570p to anyone. It's this t430 trash who's autistic enough to OC mobile cpu.
Christian Rivera
The t/w could probably cope with the heat though. A 12" with a QM or XM can't handle the heat under any intense CPU load.
Juan Rivera
>A 12" with a QM or XM can't handle the heat under any intense CPU load. And you're saying this after having any experience with 2570p? x230 won't handle such heat with stock cooling for sure. 2570p? I'm using mine with i7-3740qm and I've never seen it throttling during any workload. And for example 5 minutes ago I've stopped playing contagion (~70% CPU load, everything set to ultra, iGPU 100% used) and it never went higher than 90C dg with fan at 80%.

James Smith
Are you using Windows? In Control Panel > Mouse, there should be an option specifically about disabling scroll. Then on Task Manager > Startup, disable all the background keyboard applications. Reboot. There, no more scroll, and no more unnecessary background processes.
Jonathan Cox
Anecdote for the people putting a lot of effort into upgrading older systems with quad cores:
My friend has a W701 with a 920XM. I have a newer system with a 5500U. In Cinebench, the dual-core 5500U gets almost the same score as the 920XM (actually a bit higher).
Sebastian Nelson
>it's happening If anyone considers upgrading 1600MT/s RAM to 2133MT/s - do it, if you gaym on HD4000. I've just tested L4D2 between 1600 and 2133MT/s RAM (same timings, both DDR3L) and I can note about 25% boost in FPS under 2133.
Thinkfags need not apply, because there are no DDR3 thinkpads supporting 16GB (2x8) 2133MT/s configs, unless they fall for the 8GB meme. Personally tested thinkpads (x230, t430) require CL13 2133MT/s RAM to use this mode, otherwise it will throttle to 1866MT/s or 1600MT/s.
