what does the Sup Forums thinkpad community think of the w530? i feel like i got a great machine

Add a classic keyboard and coreboot, it becomes best pad

it is a great machine. I use it every day. classic keyboard is optional, I have an x220 and honestly have no preference regarding the keyboards.

Whats the difference between the default and the classic kb?

Look at them, it's visible.

so its not an issue of membrane vs mechanical?

No, just chiclet vs actually nice keys.

I have been thinking about getting one of these to replace my x201 tablet that has served me well for many years.

The chiclet keys are fine because they still curve in
The 6-row instead of 7-row layout is the biggest different

I just really dislike chiclet.

Neck yourself, cunt.

Watch

Even he says the keys themselves are fine
His main complaint is the touch keys for the trackpoint, which aren't a problem for the W530 keyboard because it still has physical trackpoint buttons

Thinkpads are the macbooks of laptops

Are you just poor and / or a massive pleb ?

The keys are a different shape, have less travel and the layout of the function keys messes with your muscle memory.
It's not a straight downgrade but a lot of people prefer the feel of the older keyboard.

lmfao

What's so good about Coreboot?

No botnet, faster boot times

I want to add a new thinkpad to my collection, max 16", 8gb of ram (or upgradeable) and with a graphics card powerful enough to run Guild Wars 2 "ok". I thought about the W series, since those have the quadro cards, but won't those have a ton of problems with the game?

Can I use an anime boot image like I can with the modified BIOS?

macbooks are the macbooks of laptops you fucking inbred

As a fellow W530 owner...

I can guarantee you're going to love it!

Thinking of buying an X60 for $50 just for memeing. Is it worth it?

>paying out of the ass for meme tech that is still in early adoption
Made me reply/10

If it's just for memeing yes
