I need to buy a friend a thinkpad, how well a T420 would run simple, old and casual games?
No its not for me, i have a T400 and i dont play games but i accidentally all over his old HP DV laptop and want/need give him a new one.
Dylan Davis
Get him a t430 with Nvidia gpu. Vastly better than t420 for gaming
Caleb White
Get him a ProBook with AMD GPU, much better for gaming.
Jaxon Parker
Can I, a t530 nigger, configure the touchpad to use border scroll instead of multitouch scroll? It's really fucky and barely usable.
Mason Hernandez
thank you!!!
Bentley James
Just installed linux mint with mate. What are the commands to change the speed that the trackpoint moves at? It's a little slow now.
Carter Perry
Im replacing a cheap HP Laptop, not a new PC.
As long the IGPU is as good or better than a old AMD APU its enough for me.
Jaxson Bell
pretty sure it's supposed to have border scrolling
if windows install the ultranav drivers and go into those settings
linux idk lol
Dominic Thompson
what do you use your spare thinkpads for, Sup Forums?
Christopher Barnes
I don't think so. I mean having the right side as dedicated scrollwheel.
Ian Williams
Do you think he browses this thread? youtube.com/watch?v=DWGOLO5HTDs Not my Thinkpad in the pic, btw. Just a /k/ino pic from /k/.
Noah Jackson
Now I really want a vintage Thinkpad. Which one should I get? The oldest I've got now is a G40.
Jason Fisher
Hello. I'm stuck deciding between the x220 and x230 (both i5 models). I just want a portable laptop for university (ms office), general web browsing, some youtube and netflix.
Please help my boys
Jack Torres
You accidentally what? I'm aroused.
Joseph Rodriguez
Snort cocaine lines.
Jayden Cooper
No.
Bentley Gomez
I'm considering buying an x220 for school, and have found a few good deals for machines in very good condition, but without a HDD/HDD Caddy. I have a harddrive I would like to use, but from what I understand, if I don't have the caddy, I can't install the hard drive. Can I buy the caddy/ rubber rails online?
Matthew Nelson
b8
James Barnes
Three fucking weeks, fucking Lenovo
Angel Martin
>buying new thinkpad you have only yourself to blame
Zachary Long
wow, it's like they are chinks
Oliver Moore
I'm pretty sure it can emulate up to early 5th gen consoles and play old Windows games fine either through WINE on Linux or directly on Windows. Honestly, as long as he isn't playing something with like Skyrim on max settings or Crysis or something relatively recent with ridiculous min specs, he should be fine.
Jeremiah Ortiz
Should have got an actual Thinkpad.
Jackson Ross
How does Dolphin fair on it? It's kind of hard to find research on games running on a ThinkPad (after all, they're not meant for that kind of autism).
PCSX2 is a bitch, but if it can run Persona full speed 90% of the time then I'm all set.
Hudson Long
The most intensive game he will pay would be LoL tops so i think he will be fine.
I left his laptop in a FUBAR state accidentally. Screen is cracked, HDD is gone, bezel is gone, Somehow the motherboard is FUBAR too, keyboard missing pieces.
How and what happened? i accidentally picked up his backpack to ask him to hurry up, the backpack was open and it fell from the second floor right into the walkway.
Im not an asshole and it was my fault so im getting him a "new" one and somewhat better. But from early AMD APU to 2nd gen I5 i guess its a nice upgrade.
Nathaniel Ward
>tfw a fat neckbeard breaks your normie laptop by "accident" and replaces it with a ThinkPad effectively turning you into one of us one of us sasuga user
Carter Gomez
since battery on my 15.6' gaymen laptop died, and I don't care that much about games anymore, I've been looking to get something more portable with better battery life and a screen that is not eye cancer once I save up enough money that is because I'm broke atm I've had the xiaomi air 13 in my eyesights for a while now but... I'll be passing the current one to my little brother (14) who happens to have a T420 that'll become available I've never really payed much attention, so I'm asking, what's the deal with these meme laptops? I've only had very limited experience with it so far but It doesn't seem to perform that well, the screen is even worse than my current one, the hardware is like a decade old what should I do with it?
Isaiah Wood
upgrade the screen if you have the money
James Edwards
Theres IPS mods out there, or the Alienware mod.
Oliver Moore
What is the best AMD ThinkPad there is?
Cooper Brooks
A275/T475 coming soon, don't bother with anything else until then
Jeremiah Watson
>decade old Didn't know you lived in 2021 user
Nathan Miller
The A475 when it comes out
Chase Ward
t420 is my favorite aswell
Grayson Lewis
What ThinkPad should I recommend to my girlfriend? I bought myself a T420s not too long ago and decided to buy another one so she could try it out for college. Her only wish is that it was smaller and lighter.
Kayden Martinez
X220 with a IPS screen and put a 850 EVO on it.
Jordan Jenkins
Yes. Just search for them on ebay.
Justin Fisher
Anybody have an opinion about the tc4400? Found it with a T7200 for stupid cheap
i know newer thinkpads are basically sin here, but i needed an upgrade with decent battery life and a digitizer so i went for the thinkpad yoga 14. my question is: are there any decent stickers for it? i love the thinkpad design, don't get me wrong, but i guess i just want something that doesn't make it look so fucking plastic-y
Asher Martinez
Sounds gud my man. Appreciate it.
Nathaniel Gray
and by stickers, i meant stickers and skins
Brayden Kelly
I own a T420 with the NVM4200
Can I run the original Deus Ex and Vampire the Masquerade on an external monitor?
Elijah Rivera
sure thing broski
Michael Bailey
It's worth getting pic related and change the keyboard and the touchpad? It's even possible to change the touchpad?
Levi Allen
And yes, it's the 1600x900 version with the fingerprint reader
Thomas Campbell
You can pick up 380 series models for decently cheap online. Just note that as soon as you cross the threshold from outdated to retro, things get expensive.
Pic related, my 380ED with 48mb of ram, 166mhz Pentium MMX, 1.25mb magigraph 128zv, 2.1gb hdd, running windows 98se
Note that as stated in that video, these machines don't support screen scaling, and gaming is awful because of the FRSTN panels More ghosting than luigis god damn mansion
Jacob Rogers
Its basically just HP's version of an x60t Decent machine, capable of Shitposting, if its priced well go for it
Michael Sanders
Try this:
sudo rm -rf /
Caleb Ward
what is stupid cheap?
Nathan Moore
Can someone post the X220 Custom BIOS version 1.43?
Justin Diaz
that feel when you run your finger around the rim
Jaxon Wright
Yeah pretty sure it's literally a sticker.
Ryder James
it's just a sticker, but you're gonna spend a solid few hours rubbing the adhesive away if you decide to peel it off
Dominic Thomas
What do?
Landon Hughes
Thanks anyway man I used the xinput command instead
Caleb Cruz
you're the same guy from the other thread aren't you?
Colton Thomas
install anything but windows xp for starters
Jonathan Kelly
It's a Touhou/classic games machine. Also there is literally nothing wrong with XP, although I suppose I could install Windows 98 instead.
Colton Stewart
Windows 7 would run on it just fine.
Kevin Nguyen
Touhou 6 freezes on XP and you think it can run 7?
Owen Reed
Someone respond to this, I have the same question. xset seems to only handle acceleration.
Adrian Richardson
Sup Forums toasters are done production and are getting shipped to me tomorrow Trying to get a better pic of them but my friend in Kansas is retarded
Aiden Perez
Yes? Did you remember to set up the config?
Im using W7 starter on my T43 and i can run it fine.
Jack Allen
Man i want one but at the same time i wouldn't want to meet a Sup Forumsentoomen IRL.
Eli Edwards
Also it's for older games and Windows 7 sometimes has compatibility issues. I'll try it though.
Juan Brooks
w2c
Alexander Mitchell
I just figured it out >xinput or >xinput --list --short >xinput --list-props " " your trackpoint listed, mine said TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint >xinput --set-prop " " "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" (your desired number here) Mine was set to 1.0 so I set it to 0.5 and it's very quick now. Mess around with it and I find numbers
David Foster
I assume its a VN machine right?
Ryder Hernandez
Just Touhou for now but stuff like Fallout 1/2 tends to be weird on 7.
Ryder Jones
Are these like a pre order or something? Did I miss out? If not how much are you going to sell them for. I'm making the assumption you aren't going to horde like 100 stickers for your massive thinkpad collection.
Luis Brown
X230 with i5-3210m. Is it shit compared to the i5-3320m?
Kevin Carter
As someone who's met tards from the boards irl- it won't be anything bad. You'll probably laugh and spew a few Sup Forums memes and then continue on your way. But then again that was with /k/ommandos, and we tend to be more social in our meets.
patchdynamics.net
Nope, waiting for them to arrive to me and then they'll go up on my store. I'll come back here again to give a heads up for the drop.
They'll probably be 3 buckaroos each and 1 buck shipping to US (Although for something like stickers, i recommend bubblemailers which are an extra buck but much safer.)
Justin Sanders
Can't find it on your site.
Tyler Green
Read my post
Samuel Morales
Then why link your site
Thomas Wright
So you know where they'll show up
Liam Carter
Definitely off topic but man has k gone to such shit recently. I stopped browsing there. Even Akg got shitted up.
Aiden Taylor
Blame it on mobile posters AKA normalfaggots
Jayden Barnes
I need a cheap laptop to code on it for school. Don't want a Thinkpad because it's too heavy. Preferably with a SSD.
Jacob Myers
Then W701ds is your best option.
Noah Bailey
X220 with a 9-cell battery is only 5 pounds or so.
Jayden Ortiz
...
Josiah Richardson
Any X200~X220, they are 2Kg tops.
You are asking for something cheap so you cant really complain.
Aaron Torres
Would you consider an X230 i5-3230M running Windows 10 to still be usable for the next 4+ years? I'm planning on getting one for college.
Ethan Taylor
>windows 10 >usable Not at all.
Now with W7 or GNU/Linux yeah it'll serve you fine.
Carson Young
i want to fuck nonon
Leo Hall
Yeah, I might plan on dual booting or running Windows in a VM instead. Other than that, should I looking for an i7 model? Would the performance boost be worth an increased price?
Easton Nguyen
That is slightly cringy but I'll totally buy them as a gag item. Thanks for sharing your store, will buy.
Probs leddit, idk, I wouldn't doubt he comes here but his language totally doesn't reflect it (x
Just bought a 600E for $30 shipped. I think the backlight went out, got a spare anyways.
Haven't had one to mess with. They look OK.
Literally search "selling fast, firm, need to pay bills" in the craigslist descriptions.
Christian Turner
Not really, mobile dual core i7s are pretty much just mobile i5s with slightly higher clocks and it's not a big deal like the x220 where only the i7 variant has usb 3.0.
Hunter Fisher
My X220 speakers aren't working, do I need to replace them?
Jonathan Watson
maybe
Gavin Long
check for cables. If they still aren't working then sure. But why do you use the thinkpad speakers? They really aren't that great.
Zachary Bailey
if i wanted a t420 without hdd/ram/cpu/battery how much should i reasonably expect to pay?
Angel Thomas
Mine was $60 complete
Jason Turner
thank
Ryder Diaz
Where do you guys buy extra batteries for your laptops? I just got a t420 and while the given battery is decent, I'd like to have a spare.
Are all the batteries I'm going to find more or less the same or are some better than others?
