what a surprise, T430 faggot still shitposting in every single /tpg/. First try to understand how turbo clocks work in intel cpus, because you forgot to add your 4.2GHz overclock is on one core (lmao!). Secondly enjoy your eye cancer from looking at the disgusting 1600x900 screen.
Adrian Edwards
where does the EPP discount code come from? why do we have access to it? does it expire?
Logan Bell
daily reminder: QC 2570p is at least 200% faster than x230. If you can live with new type of keyboard you should get 2570p instead. >inb4 stupid t430 shitposter starts comparing it to 14" virginpad ayy
Thomas James
don't ask questions you are not prepared to face the truth
Anything else I should add to it? Also 1600Mhz fastest it will accept?
Lincoln Nguyen
So I had to give my w510 to my lil brother because the shit needed a pc. I loved it. But for my next thinkpad I was thinking same size but lower temperatures I want a boxy laptop. Should I go with something brand new or just get a w520 or something
Eli Brooks
2133 is the fastest have you considered e6440 instead?
Parker White
Already bought a T440p. Got it brand new for $300 but doesn't have dGPU but I'm not into gaming on it so that's fine.
Jonathan Howard
then what's the point of maxing out the config?
Benjamin Gutierrez
Adobe premiere and photoshop.
Carter Collins
>not combining it with a T60+BOE-hydis display.
Robert Cruz
Is there something I'm not noticing? Why is the 440p cheaper than the 440s by a significant margin?
Matthew Bennett
Looks good.
Alexander Diaz
I'm OP. I think it's because of it's size and weight. The T440P seems a lot heavier and thicker. I think I snatched mine up for a bargain though, the shop that had it had been trying to get rid of it for a year. It's manufacture refurbished by lenovo but it's in immaculate condition, storage only had like 7 power on's and the battery only had 1 cycle count. Not a single dent or scratch anywhere on it.
Cooper Garcia
but I want that god tier x220 keyboard so I use an x230 with a 1440p mod kthxbai xD
Easton Nguyen
you'd benefit from a dgpu
Carson Cooper
AFFS/X200 user, if you're lurking, I need your help.
my panel arrived earlier today and I just swapped it. terrible bleeding on the right side. I noticed pressure worsens the problem.
I also noticed the inverter gets hot, considerably so. did this happen to either of yours?
but I'm guessing the screen is the problem since a stuck red pixel just showed up. wasn't there the first time around.
I bought a genuine BOE-Hydis like yours (no digitizer though) but I'm thinking about trying one of the cheaper, 'compatible' ones since these are 10 years old.
Ian Wilson
4:3 ratio is much more comfortable than 16:9. 16:9 screens are the worst.
Charles Reyes
So a bunch of colleagues at work play this boring game called Overwatch and they have been trying to get me on this game but I don't have a proper desktop and nor do I even want one, since I live in a very cramped apartment.
My old T60 can't run this game so was thinking what thinkpad could run this silly game without melting?
Michael Sullivan
Stop acting like you're better than them, you're asking what computer is good enough to play their silly game.
Juan Wood
I am not better than them, I am just an old fart that have no idea about this game. Games I used to play were on ataris
Bentley Nguyen
ow is demanding because it is played competitively, buy a desktop PC and a good mouse and make sure your fps don't drop below 120
.. you do have a 120 Hz monitor right? and get one of those gaming chairs
I'm actually glad I overcame my overwatch addiction (played more than 1400 hours)
Levi Fisher
are your co workers 12 or what overwatch is kiddie shit
Gavin Miller
I don't have room for a desktop and I don't want to put much money into such things. I am working constantly at various locations. So a better thinkpad than my current t60 would be ideal. no they're around early 20 to early 30s I am sadly at early 40s :-/
Grayson Moore
igpu in current models will work at low detail, older models with dedicated gpu (w520+) will do better
Matthew Edwards
elitebook 2570p with a 750 ti, external monitor mouse and keyboard.

>person in tech job is antisocial wow huge surprise there, buddy
Daniel Wood
(You)
Blake Anderson
it's true tho. 16:9 is trash.
Parker Russell
I agree. 16:10 is best.
Justin Hernandez
true.
Easton Rogers
So I'm going to buy X131e for sub $90. Is there anything I should be aware of? Like bios password etc.?
Owen Moore
for (You), agian. Different people got different need and taste.
Carson Robinson
16:9 is objectively trash.
this is a fact
William King
It's good for muh anime and that kind of stuff
Jace Campbell
>objectively Now you're starting to shitpost.
Aiden Gray
anime is garbage
you wish
Levi Reyes
Can you guys share your battle-tested X220 thinkfan.conf?
I guess the levels are quite different. Level >1 is a pain when just browsing with the X220.

Looking at this T430, there seems to be no optical drive and it's covered with a plastic blank cover. Is this thing gonna have the sata connector in there though? If I want to upgrade storage or something with the caddy that goes in there.
Jordan Bennett

Adrian Gonzalez
How loud is the x220? Will I be the loudest kid in class if I buy a refurbished one?
Blake Moore
it could be silent or loud, it's up to you
William Moore
I recently got an X200 with libreboot, it's pretty epic
Jordan Cruz
Explain.
Luis Jackson
if you leave an HDD in it and run the fan at full blast then yeah it's a little noisy
if it has an SSD and the fan is at idle then it'll be silent
Oliver Carter
What models run at hotter than normal temps at higher than i2?
Charles Long
What's the state of hackintosh on HP 2570p / X220?
Hudson Thomas
When did X220 fall to X230? And why is 2570p is being shilled in /tpg/? Is the hardware of second gen Core i have became obsolete?
Wyatt Morales
You're watching shit anime then. Good anime is in 4:3
Wyatt Gray
you're shit. stop posting already

David Flores
ok, i created a walkthrough list when shopping for a used Thinkpad:
>look over the laptop for any signs of physical damage and cum under the keyboard. slightly shake it and listen for any loose components. >ask if you can take off the lid to look at the internals(memory, cpu, hdd/ssd, wifi) >turn on the laptop and let it boot to OS. listen for any unusual noises >look at the screen for any dead/stuck pixels and etc >reboot laptop into BIOS/UEFI and check to make sure: no supervisor password, computrace is disabled, check cpu and memory specs >on lenovo website check the service tag for stock specs and warranty >restart and boot into OS, open a notepad app and test all the keyboard keys >check with speccy for temperatures >open web browser go to YouTube and play a vid in 1080p at full volume(no meme vids, don't make the seller uncomfortable, something normie like the "wrecking ball" song will do) >test wifi and wifi button >test all ports >test power adapter and check battery info via preinstalled lenovo battery app(if it isn't installed punch seller in the face then continue) >if circumstances allow form it, download and play a ranked match of Heroes Of The Storm on low-med settings
what else would you add?
Jeremiah Thomas
Just because it runs, doesn't mean it works.
Bentley Torres
My T430 runs it at 30 fps at 720 on very low. A W model or new T should have a bit better luck. Just don't get anything older than the w520
Imo the game isn't that fun anymore so I wouldn't go with something too expensive either
Brandon Reed
>120 hz monitor >gaymen chair Summer fag go home
Oliver Scott
Disregard this fag btw
Henry Wright
>slightly shake it and listen for any loose components This. I got T420 that will lose sound output unless shaken. >take off the lid That's why you bring a USB flash drive with puppy to test it. >look at the screen for any dead/stuck pixels and etc And try wiping the small smudges, sometimes it can't be removed. Also try displaying grey image and look at the screen from different angles.
>open web browser go to YouTube and play a vid in 1080p at full volume Why?
>what else would you add? Check the thinklight and Windows Activation key.
Camden Powell
>getting butthurt over shitty anime taste and shitty aspect ratio
Nathan Nguyen
Is there an Intel security flaw on thinkpads? If so how do I fix it?
Owen Turner
Yeah, Intel ME
Isaiah Barnes
I'm not butthurt. I just told you you're shit. Why so aggressive?
Josiah Hughes
Thanks. >Why? That's because what I'm planning to use it mainly for.
>That's why you bring a USB flash drive with puppy to test it. Test can take a while. Just open the lid, look at internals and make sure they don't smell like coffee, turn on the laptop and if it goes through POST then everything should be fine.
>Also try displaying grey image and look at the screen from different angles. that's a good one. thanks!
Aiden Russell
run the firmware update
Owen Collins
I'm not aggressive
Luis Smith
yet you're shit :^)
Grayson Rivera
Just buy from ebay. If something doesn't work, you can complain to the seller and they will bend over backwards to fix it because they know that you can complain to ebay and ebay will force a total refund if the customer is dissatisfied. And you'll even get to keep the thinkpad.
Kevin Brown
How do I know you're not shit though? What if you're a piece of shit calling people shit
Jose Martinez
Well, when USB 3.0 was widely used and made 2.0 unusable for some.
Because of the main reason shills happen to anything: desire for attention, aka bait.
It isn't that old, but in regards of iGPU it gets it's ass kicked by Ivy Bridge.
Jace Brooks
Libreboot will disable the Intel ME on the Core 2 Duo CPU's
Kevin Ramirez
I might be a piece of shit, but it doesn't make you less shitty.
Camden Bennett
Are there models of T420 without Bluetooth?
Zachary Morris
pretty sure it was optional so yes
but you can also just disable it in the BIOS or remove the bluetooth module itself
Anthony Martin
then you should use mpv for that. Save RAM and better playback. >Test can take a while Not really. HWinfo will check if the hardware match what's advertised HDD short test takes 2 minutes, and you can see the S.M.A.R.T. data, run small CPU stress test
James Hernandez
what does /tpg/ think of my new little elitebook?
specs: i7-640LM (1st gen) integrated GPU 8 GB DDR3 3G modem with GPS no HDD yet i bought it from a flea market for $75 (i'm in eastern europe). i found it very weird that it only takes 1.8" HDDs and it didn't come with one, or with a charger, but it's in very good condition.
i already ordered a 2.5" SATA drive adapter for the DVD drive bay.
Alexander Roberts
forgot to mention the fucking model. it's a 2540p.
Chase Adams
This is mid-2000s HP design right? What an ugly fucking mess.
Gavin Cruz
the 2540p is from 2010-2011 but i don't mind the design. the lid is all brushed aluminium which looks pretty good
Adrian Stewart
the palmrest is also aluminium, which i've never seen in a laptop before and i like it since the palmrest is the first area that usually becomes shiny in any other laptop
Josiah Rivera
why does entering UEFI depend on Windows?
Pressing F1 (or Fn+F1) during boot doesn't work. The only way is to do the following in Winblows 10:
