>Sup Forums shill thinkpads everywhere >buy a thinkpad >few months later , screen develops white spots >ask lenovo tech people about this problem and warranty >they refuse any warranty for a screen because of "screen pressure" that is made by a user
>user can damage fucking screen on fucking MILSPEC laptop
Sup Forums (me) shills old used thinkpads you dumbfuck
and this is for good reason, they are cheap, reliable, and its easy to find parts so you can fix it yourself when shit breaks.
If you aren't a gamer than a x220 can do anything a modern laptop can do, there's no reason to get anything more expensive.
you are an idiot who has realized none of these things
enjoy your shitty nu-shitpad
Lincoln Howard
This so much. I use an x220 mainly. I got a fancy laptop for work with a great screen, it's got a really nice screen. I guess it looks nice too but I don't care much about that. X220 is equally useful, I use the fancy one because it looks nice that's it. It's $2000 more expensive than the x220 lol
Logan Bell
x220 and x230 IPS have worse "white spot" problem than newer one and if you search lenovo forums, a lot of people complained about this faulty screen.
But fucking lenovo just blames people that is their fault. How can you damage fucking MIL SPEC laptop if you have a good bag and take care of it.

>Sup Forums (me) shills old used thinkpads you dumbfuck You don't realize there's only a limited supply of those by definition? Dumbfuck.

>If you aren't a gamer than a x220 can do anything a modern laptop can do It can't. Stop saying this. It's more than sufficient for most people's everyday tasks, but gaming isn't the only application that requires a lot of horsepower from both CPU and GPU.
Jason Nguyen
There is laptop in his sentence. Why would you use a laptop for CPU and GPU intentsive tasks.
Tyler Thompson
Because some people need their work to be mobile. There is a world outside your basement, where different people have different needs.
Connor Baker
>One of the most used laptop in offices >Only Sup Forumstards care about it anyway I think there will be enough supply for quite some time user.
Levi Hernandez
Just buy a new screen and stop sitting on the thing you fucking chubmuffin
Juan Brown
Point was made, but what kind of work ? CAD or something like that ?
Luis Gonzalez
Yes, CAD is a big one. Photo editing as well.
Anthony Murphy
I bet that people who own x220/x230 have the same problem on their shitpad but they are too blind to see.
>MILSPEC laptop have faulty screen >lenovo goyim says, just buy a new screen
When you faggots said that this laptop have cheap pieces and easy to repair I should just take it as a redflag.

>be me >sometimes couldn't turn on my laptop with power button >with the laptop booted up, I closed the lid and went to Lenovo service center >overheated as fuck as I forgot to change my setting and the motherboard was technically dead >they replaced my motherboard too alongside with replacing the power button Feels good living in this country. I can't extend the warranty though in my country.

This You should have bought an HP Zbook if you wanted a real laptop.
Elijah Parker
Thinkpads have never been MILSPEC at all, not even in marketing materials such thing is implied You're a brainlet, they're business laptops, not fucking Panasonic Thoughbooks or Getacs
Xavier Taylor
I got a friend who runs a refurbishing business, they have a couple pallets of thinkpads in stock and I test-drived a few by curiosity (x230t, x250, t420s, t440p, w530) and I really can't see how they would be worth the trouble. Even with the fullhd ips mods the screens are average at best, battery life of older cpus sucks despite the disgustingly protubering batteries and linux support dips hard once you go past the older models. I maybe kinda get the w series, you can get some light 3D rendering out of the dual gpu if you're short on both money and desk space, otherwise meh.

Literally go to Lenovo's website right now and you will see that the higher end Thinkpads are marketed with MIL-STD or MIL-SPEC. There's no such thing as "been MIL-SPEC", there's just standards that you can adhere it to.
>The first ever mobile workstation with an Intel® Xeon™ processor, the ThinkPad P70 redefines the concept of power, With optional X-Rite® PANTONE® color calibration and NVIDIA Quadro graphics, Mil-Spec durability, blazing fast connection speeds, and the highest capacity of storage and memory make this workstation your go-to PC for getting the job done.
So who's the brainlet now? :^)
Jeremiah Johnson
not milspec and there's no good reason to spend extra milspec unless you're doing field work away from connectivity. Otherwise you can push your work frequently and lose nothing if the laptop breaks. Bring two with you for the same cost and weight or some cash to pop into a store and grab one when needed.
Jackson Kelly
That's the P series, not T/W/X series, those ones were recently launched, they aren't the higher end ones they're the TOTL workstation they currently have, and you obviously didn't get one of those Also, MIL-SPEC isn't a standard, brainlet There's the MIL-STD standards, which HP used to ratify with some ProBook's and Getac/Panasonic would ratify, but Lenovo and IBM have never ratified unless this changed with the P series
Sebastian Thomas
Second-hand then.
Parker Taylor
>MILSPEC so made for the lowest possible price for mass production to be handed out to lobotomised soliders on their one way trip to the middle east?
Brayden Taylor
2 years ago i wanted to buy a used thinkpad, but i live in a shithole and they were all sold out in local classified ads. So i bought a Samsung laptop with a Celeron instead of a cpu. I know that it is shit, but i needed a cheap laptop urgently at the time and it works just fine. My previous "gayming" laptop from MSI barely lasted 2 years, the GPU expired together with the warranty.
Having said that, thinkpad shills on /g make me feel bad about my purchase sometimes.
