Why are thinkpads the more popular business class laptops when Elitebooks are the better choice?

Tradition

because x220 and t420 are literally the best and comfy notebooks out in the wild

wish i was cool enough to own a thinkpad and code it up with some g bros

Same reason iPhone is popular despite it being shit.

Normies.

w500 owner here. I regret it every day. Haven't tried an elitebook yet, but I might get one.

For a negroid and a (((female))), the person in your picture is pretty.

See I've always loved my elitebook, but lately I don't know. The fucking hinges get loose and need tightening. If you don't tighten them soon enough, you have to take the screen apart and re-align the plastic.. Not so good..

Which one? My 2170p has been great so far.

I have a x230t and a 2570p. Former has an IPS screen, touch, pen input, better keyboard. Latter has an extra drive bay, better touchpad, and socketted CPU. I use my x230t more but against the regular x230 the 2570p has more going for it.

But I'm disappointed M cpu prices are high even for 5 year old ones. The socketted slot appeals to me but it doesn't seem worth utilizing.

Been really tempted to get a 2570p and upgrade it to a quad core. The processors go for around a hundred here so it is tempting...

>Regret it every day
Why?

Lenovo is riding off IBMs reputation

Cause I got my thinkpad years ago when the elitebooks were fat. Also, thinkpads have more parts available, have 180° hinges, and have that sexy carbon fiber look.

These posts crack me up.

It's like you've never seen black people before. Think of it this way: there are a lot of mediocre and not very attractive white/Asian/etc girls around. Maybe a certain percentage of the total population are above a 6. Same goes for black people. If your sample size is small (and most people who aren't black or poor usually have abysmally low rates of interaction with black people), then you're more likely to not ever see a hot black girl.

Do the math, you racist.

>Lenovo is riding off IBMs reputation
The X220 and X230 lines were designed and manufactured by Lenovo with IBM branding

>Why are thinkpads the more popular business class laptops when Elitebooks are the better choice?
Hp support is shit. Lenovo is also crap
Many companies actually swapped to dell for having the less worst support from these 3

You ARE cool enough.

do thinkpad owners actually produce anything in society or are they in a constant flux of circle jerking/looking for their next thinkpad/configuring their thinkpad?

I have a thinkpad and I'm not cool

My company gave me a elitebook. It is a piece of garbage. Works great until you want to do something odd.

Change your monitoring config too fast (or docking). - blue screen
Have too many USBs in and unplug the wrong one - blue screen

Inb4 better drivers. Laptop choice is easier than fixing windows/Intel/whoever

Stop spreading misinformation

I thought the consensus was that for business class laptops:
>Thinkpad used to be the choice. People get it because it's cheaper and there are a lot of used x220's or whatever
>Latitude for current bussiness class laptops

Didn't know Elitebook was ever a player.

That's a fine AIDS container.

>Elitebooks are the better choice
nope. If a thing A is more popular than a thing B, there's probably a good reason for it.

btw, you couldn't be the 2570p l33tfag that shitposts in /tpg/, could you?

based poo poster

more thiccness please

where can i acquire a hot niggra gf?
>inb4 New Orleans docks circa 200 years ago

I'm a goddamn caveman and thinkpads can take punishment so i like them

most laptops today are literally mcdonalds toys

No black girls are usally ugly.

>has nigger-tier opinion
>posts a nigger

That's why the hot ones get glorified so much online

Lol, how many black girls do you know irl?

I live in a nigga-free country

>people not realizing OP's whole point was to have a conversation about black women being attractive
>not realizing that race doesn't mean anything when calling someone attractive because if they are attractive it has nothing to do with their place of origin just that you find that particular person attractive
>people will still refuse to just say that someone is (not) attractive and must instead tack on "for an aboriginal/nigger/sandnigger/spic/mongolian

Argentina?

Because of OpenBSD compability of course.

>OpenBSD
Why would anyone use that when Linux exists and has better support?

...

Thinkpads look better.

Lol no.

Black girls are quite pretty in most places that aren't america.

In the US ghettoes they tend to be fat. If they are middle class blacks they are less likely to be fat, and in that case they are usually pretty.

The main issue with ugly african-american girls is the obesity epidemic among poor blacks, i.e. KFC.

>Says black girls are ugly
>Never actually seen a black girl before

Nice of Lenovo to use it on their thinkpads too

Vir/g/ins who want to be part of a clique/seekrit klub because nobody accepted them into any group in high school. Same applies to Arch Linux, retro tech, mechanical keyboards, insert next fad here.

build quality has suffered

I've always loved lenovo support

I didn't know either. Apparently, they pass mil spec. Never had my hands on one.
