Ended up biting the bullet and installing Libreboot anyway with an untested panel (HT14P12-100). Worked out great. I'm free!
Jayden Long
What should I expect /tpg/?
Jackson Clark
>He fell for the libreboot meme
Never liked the x201. X200 or x220.
Christopher Young
who else here don't give a shit about battery life? 99% of the time i use the x220 plugged in, thanks to some cosmic stroke of fate, there's a power outlet available wherever i take it. so i got the 4-cell battery that fits flush and weighs less. 2ish hours, which is fine for moving it around in standby and occasional toiletposting, which i'm not proud of but will admit, thanks to the gift of online anonymity
Christopher Murphy
It was an experiment. I wanted to make a fully free laptop. It's not my daily driver, but it does boot in
Can get the prime deal of $450. I have an extra SSD laying around I can put in.
Owen Howard
Can we make a Discord for /tpg/? IRC is fucking shit.
Sebastian Robinson
consumer pile of shit dubbed """"""""""""""business"""""""""""""" literally the E or L series tier minus the trackpoint so its worth even less of a shit
Cooper Myers
Fuck off. Asus is great.
Leo Carter
there already is a discord
Wyatt Peterson
no, fuck off
Eli Smith
just fucking buy it already then you dipshit or stop trying to justify your buyers remorse
Nathan Lopez
Uh oh. Sorry I disturbed you. I'll let you get back to your Thinkpad circle jerk.
Jeremiah Flores
>500 dollar shit tier """""standard business laptop""""" >no reviews of the thing from a professional source >literally two reviews that literally copy and paste the product description >get back to your circlejerk xddddddd what the fuck do you want it looks like a walmart grade shit laptop and there is nothing that tells me otherwise from my experience with asus you listen too mr.ILoveAsus they have shitty construction, they are a pain to open and their warranty much like acer and any other consumer tier shits they try their hardest not to service you and when they do they try their best to make you pay twice the cost of the laptop. At 500 dollars I doubt """""""""""""Amazon's Choice for a work laptop"""""""""""""" is anything better than their budget line up
but hey go ahead user buy it dont forget to make the "hey guys "/tpg/ tricked me with this poorfag laptop ;___; thinkmemes are memes hurr" thread
David Hughes
My co-worker said he might give me "a garbage windows 98 thinkpad" if he can find it! I probably shouldn't be so excited.
Oliver Peterson
install gentoo on it
Christian Sanchez
let me add a bit more since Ive got nothing better to do I take back the "pain to open part" back since they advertise a "upgrade door" that said >no backlit keyboard really a shame considering how many laptops budget laptops even have backlit keyboards >shit build quality even in amazon reviews nothing surprising
its consumer trash
David Rodriguez
I will if I end up getting it.

suggested ram for an x220? Bought an 8gb sodimm (amazon.com/gp/product/B005J4C820), reviews mention works in x220s, install ram, beeped 1-3-3-1, upgraded firmware from 1.1 to 1.43, didn't help, returned ram. Do I need to bother with the modded 1.43 bios or just try another brand?
Jeremiah Lewis
>falling for the >4gb meme
Jaxon Lewis
Yep, definitely not lenovo shills. Asus has an amazing trackrecord of making amazingly reliable laptops while not being prohibitively expensive.
Ryder Ward
I have 3gb currently. 3 instances of Firefox (~40tabs), a few terminals, and rdp'd into my workstaiton (96gb of ram) for CAD use ... yeah, I can get by on
Cooper Perry
sounds like it was just a dead stick
I went with G.Skill because lifetime warranty. I know Kingston also has lifetime warranty.
Man, it is kinda embarrassing you are posting photos of me. Haven't been on /tpg/ for a bit I'll take the hint that I should trap again, despite being uggo. Thanks senpai.
Going to be doing a weekly 3 laptop price shootout on DankPads. Going to do the low/recommended/overpriced points but now add low/medium/high on 'as is', 'used w/ HDD', 'used w/ ssd', i5 laptops, i7 laptops, new, refurb, etc. Additionally I would post prices for mobos, keyboards, and LCDs just in case it needs DIY or upgrades. maybe do CPU pricing, but those depreciate pretty quickly...
Which means I probably not going to bother with Broadwell machines yet... Maybe work on them on the weekend. I plan on crunching 1 hour Monday, Wednesday and Friday for price research, hopefully I can get 3 to 5 laptops in decent price recommendations.
Hello teepeegee. About to pull the trigger on an x270, how does this config look?
I already have an unused Samsung SSD at home, so I'll be swapping that in.
Brayden Lewis
I just want a laptop for under 300 that can run WoW at moderate settings at like 30 fps.. I know I'm a gaming faggot but it's like a meth addiction... Any tpad model recommendations

8740W could do it, so W520 or T530 nVidia. You just got t be patient!
W541, E6540, 8770W?
KK, Sunday it is.
Mason Torres
>W541 thank you friend, I've never really bought a laptop and this seems to be the model
Landon Smith
Post a photo of your teen phase Guys like you were cute at that age
Charles Gomez
I just ordered a T420 that doesn't have a screen. Do I have any options other than blowing $~50 for a replacement screen? Not planning to use it as my daily driver, so I guess I can wait around a bit and try to scavenge something else to pull the screen from... I didn't really think this through
Jace Jenkins
Trying out the thinkpad keyboard light for the first time and its amazing.
Why is the Hp keyboard light so pathetic?
Caleb Lee
Looking at the T470p with the 940MX gpu. Coming from the T420 which is absolutely excellent but this year will be the third year in a row I can't play computer games at summer gathering with my cousins. Thoughts?
Kevin Perry
I don't really have any.
Just go for it.
Brayden Brooks
Why not just buy a gaymen laptop for less?
Ryan Robinson
That's a good point and I have been looking for one. This Asus 46vw on Craigslist for 400 bucks but it just got sold..
Jace Watson
Should I get an X220t? I really like the 220 as is, and the touchscreen is gonna be really useful for taking notes and schematics in uni. Is there a catch to this beautiful laptop?
Robert Allen
I have a x61t and so far all I've used the t for is tux paint.
Andrew Butler
I've been pretty happy with my Thinkpad Yoga 14. Has a 940m.
Adrian Edwards
Just got a x250 with an i7, 8GBs of RAM and probably 250/125GB SSD with a 768 display for 400€. How good did I do? I guess that with that tiny screen, getting a 1080p is not worth it, but are there any 900p displays for that? I bought some months ago a t450 that was almost the same except for an i5 for 354€ but sold it to a friend since I needed some money for 450€ and I didnt need it at all.
Jordan Russell
Any gaming with it?
Ryan Phillips
>400€ for a tn chinkpad oof
Caleb Ramirez
Fairly light stuff, the 940m/940mx class isn't powerful enough you'd make it your first choice. Runs stuff like oblivion, skyrim, etc just fine but chokes on tougher tasks. For example, it can't run Dolphin emulator at acceptable framerates. Runs the first dragon age ok, portal 2, etc but can't do, say, tomb raider 2013 without turning the settings all the way down.
David Johnson
Hey, maybe it's the IPS one, since it has an i7, maybe the owner spent some on the screen too, who knows.
Asher Martinez
>I use a thinkpad
Chase Stewart
t420 4k mod when?
Andrew Carter
>most thinkpads are 16:9 cancer Why does Sup Forums like this garbage again?
Carson King
What are these buttons fore?
Asher Johnson
What's the Dell equivalent of T420?
Thomas Turner
Been curious about them. I was a somewhat fan of the 11e I had, pity it came with a celeron.
Oh and what do you have?
We use 16:9 because we have to. Me personally I have been using a Pixel, maybe I'll be able to fit one into a 600E frame if I get an LCD cable extender, remove the bottom, apply a massive heatsink and jam a USB ThinkPad Keyboard onto it.
Luis Walker
try clicking them retard On a web browser they are used as back and forward
Dominic Gonzalez
I'm asking because it doesn't work. Thanks anyway.
Samuel Wilson
The last 3 OPs have had your face. Getting pretty sick of seeing it desu
Caleb Myers
Of course they work
Luke Reed
I'm new to Thinkpads and bought a T410 for my dad.
It has the lowest possible specs, the hooks over the display are broken and it doesn't have a hard drive, but I have a spare one lying around. ~126€ ebay.de/itm/192131704059
Did I do good? He's currently using an old Toshiba Tecra from like 2005, so this will definitely be a big upgrade for him.
Jeremiah Nguyen
they dont work
Ryder Gray
They do
Kevin Stewart
>We use 16:9 because we have to. no excuse not to be using an x62 or t70 at this point
Blake Hernandez
no
Dominic Diaz
Kinda glad I've been away. :/ I'd probably would of just clicked away. Not sure if I'm being trolled or liked. oh well.
For my work a Pixel is main machine I use. Samsung S7 taking photos, uploading directly to google photos, which I can immediately post onto ebay via my ChromeBook, not needing to worry about data being deleted.
As much as I liked the X61, I disliked the keyboard in long term uses. It is an uncomfortable machine, despite me liking smallpads... X31 feels better.... As far as the T70, I don't think it is developed fully yet? Not sure about shelling out for it.
Sebastian Martin
yes
Nathan Edwards
I got all excited for a moment with that picture thinking there existed a thinkpad that was smoll and cute like that, but then I noticed the hinge and realized it's a picture of the side and not the back like I first thought.
Jeremiah Jenkins
Here's a gallery of some ThinkPads w/ a Libretto (T30, 240, 245, dead 350? and some rando Toshiba Protege I lost the charger for.
My question for you, senpai , from a thread ago... >Is saucey really a girl-boi(that is, mentally ill) or is he just promoting the popular notion that on Sup Forums, no girls exist and all femanons are girls/penis(or as I've got to calling them, girls plus penises)? >Or is he LARPing as white rose from Mr.normie?
Justin Collins
Fuck. Whenever I hear about people transitioning all I can think of is the opposite of the six million dollar man intro.
We do NOT have the technology. We do NOT have the capability to make a man into a woman.
Michael Martinez
hey guys
im set on getting a t420, but obviously there are still variations of specs etc within the same model, so are there any things to definitely stay clear of or just be wary of? thanks
Levi Sanchez
Im thinking of buying am X220. It seems like a pretty good value for the price.
As a cs/programming major, is there anything i would need to worry about buying this machine? Looking foward to finnal getting a new computer. Much appreciated.
Here it is via imgur in case if bad res. imgur.com/Wt53dMf Been meaning to print it again, but splitting pages is a bitch when it comes to printing Help is necessary, I forgot how to do it.
At best, I am a crossdresser. I live normally as a dude, maybe as a autistic faggot. I have seen a few guys initially after embracing my femininity, but having my ass rammed isn't as great as plowing a woman. I have dated women since then and been with them longer than dudes, but the moment I dress up, other usually 'totally believe I am 100% gay for man cock'
It's kinda funny, I've been asked if I'm really gay when I had my date/gf leave to go to the ladies room, and then get recommendations/hookups for guys who like bois like me.
Nowdays, if anything I am a uguu crossdresser or confused drag queen until I get into shape.
Pretty much true, until you can inseminate someone who used to be a dude, they won't be 100% biologically be a woman.
Idk, I am obnoxious and toxic to the online LGBTQ+ community (not local because literally they don't care), but I had a few friends who were transitioning who respected what I did back then & said 'these fags knew what they were doing dressing up as hoes trying to pretend they are trans, and not crossdressers like the real Saucey here'.
Colton Young
Does Latios still post in here?
Kayden Allen
What do the dotted lines mean? Why does it shift like that after the X230?
Owen Taylor
It shifts because the X line became all ULV crap.
Nathaniel Long
>at best I'm a crossdresser Thank goodness, m8!! That is actually relieving to hear.
Wyatt Wright
Damn. What will I get to replace my x230 in another year or two?
Julian Lopez
I'm on the same boat. Maybe there will be a nice 13 inch laptop in a few years worth buying.
Nathan Rogers
Why does clitmouse move the cursor much smoother on ubuntu than windows? Does linux default to a higher polling rate for the device?
Noah Diaz
Kinda wish I could bleach my hair this away again.
X-Series was an UltraPortable product, when the X240 came around, it became an ultrabook, so it had a thinner frame. additionally it was lower performance than an X230 (hooray ULV CPU), and in addition had been fucked with single channel ram (i think)
The X31 and X230 are similar as their predecessors were underpowered, the X40 and X240 aren't well liked due to their slimness lol
Yeah, he comes around
Ethan Walker
>thinkpad 13 No, something x220/230 sized with a 13 inch screen.
Jayden Walker
By the way, what's the thinner thinkpad after the X/T20 and before the x40 series?
X301? X230?
Andrew Hernandez
Ok... so a macbook then.
I've yet to come across an X40, so I wouldn't know. I believe the S30/31 is thicker than the X3x series, the other thing would be a 240Z or PC110. 235 is surprisingly thick.
Levi Gonzalez
And the 300 series compared with the 200 series?
Logan Gomez
Huh? X300 if OFC the thinnest. X200 is thicker.
Are you confusing me with the 300 budget series? They were as thick as the 700 series, but were plastic.
The 200 series were japan model only units that were smaller than the 500 series thinkpads.
The 570 is considerably thick. I don''t know how thin the X41 is considering it needed a 1.8" HDD, I would presume it was the thinnest before the S230 Twist or X1C2.
Ethan Murphy
>tfw I want a red x100e again
Nicholas Perry
I was thinking specifically of x220/230 and x301.
Jayden Jones
you crazy bastard
X300 series was thinner, precursor to the X1 and successor to the X61s & Thinkpad Reserve Edition.
Jason Price
I ordered a T420. I have two HDDs for it, one which I intend to install Linux on, and another which I intend to install Windows on. Which version of Windows should I use: 7 or 10?
Michael Lee
what do you need user? windows 10 is pretty optimized for laptops but its also botnet
