>want to buy a laptop>buy a thinkpad broLook into thinkpads>poor battery life>mediocre cpus>no gpu>low quality screenlmao, who even buys this shit
>>106688958only the lowest of lowlifes buy this shit
>>106688973>>106688958its guaranteed to work with linux
>>106688958>E seriesYeah, no wonder. You probably don't even have enough money to buy a new high end ThinkPad.
>>106688958thinkpads were cool in the 00s, they became generic plastic garbage in the 10sit's cultural inertaif you want an actually nice laptop buy an elitebook
>>106688983>its guaranteed to work with linuxUh, half their wifi cards don't work.
>>106689002>they became generic plastic garbage in the 10snot immediatelyThinkpads x200,x220, T400, T430, W520 and W530 are all legendary stuff
>>106689011works when its intelalso same problem would be with DELL:s so its not Lenovos fault
>>106689038Think there were issues with Intel wifi recently as well.
>>106688958I agree, ThinkPads are a meme. Get an EliteBook instead.Got this 745 G6 with Ryzen 3500U for $150 and it's been great so far.
I remember when the advice regarding Thinkpads was "only buy genuine IBM, not Lenovo garbage, they are just cannibalizing the brand". Then people just forgot and started treating Lenovo like genuine Thinkpads even though it's still garbage.All the brand recognition of Thinkpads is from the IBM days, long long ago.
>>106689188popular model?
>>106688958stinkpad is a decent choice for bargain bin laptop. nothing about it is good but nothing is terrible either (except battery life) and you can get one for like $150if you want a good laptop you buy a crapple or wait until 2027 or so when x86 should finally have decent performance with more than 6 hours battery life
>>106688958buy a macbook pro, poorfag
>>106689431I think I use my truly ancient, falling apart t60 more often than m4 proluv nipple mouse like you wouldn't believe
Laptops don't make sense unless you're a hobo. The screens and keyboards and pointer devices are shit. The storage cannot be expanded. The processors are incredibly under-powered and will further throttle with the slightest heat.
>>106689386Search suggestions are based on your search history.
>>106688958>poor battery lifeYou can stuff 72Wh in a t480. That's more than any macbook of similar or smaller screen size, with the added benefit of being hotswappable.
>>106689946>old inneficent intel cpu sucking all that power out within 2 hours
>>106688958>who even buys this shitYou apparently.
my rule of thumb has been to buy whatever the best $500 laptop is at the time. you can always get a pretty decent laptop at that price.
I was thinking of buying one but their screens are all 60Hz. How can anyone still use 60 Hz?
>>106689431*M1 mac
I've been think about buying a thinkbook with a i7-13700H, are they any good for their price?
>>106688958You either buy a Mac, or if you prefer Windows/Linux then an HP ZBook/Elitebook.
>>106688958>no GPUMy work laptop has a 4070 in it
>>106688958>>106688973>>106689431My thinkpad has an i9 octacore, an nvidia rtx gpu, and a 4K IPS screen with 100% AdobeRGB. Kill yourself macfag.
>>106688958>looks at thinkpads>discovers the components are just like other windows laptopswtf are you expecting? i guess you want a mac?
>>106688958the original context was weebs buying one because muh IBM/Lenovo Yokohama R&D Lab.Nowadays only poorfags do. They won't draw any new pictures of anime waifus using one so the context is lost.
>>106689188>HPNot even once.
>>106688958Yeah but consider the build quality is great, it will filter dust, it will survive a drop, it will work with linux, you will be able to open and close it, you will be able to replace the battery (carefully), and the nipple will be sexually satisfying.
>>106691222
>>106691302i agree, but hp laptops are fucking ugly.
>>106688958People buy it for the unique keyboard. Most people don't care about min-maxing specs sheets, especially not when it comes to a laptop.
>>106691302Wow, now that the marketing text is in a screenshot, I can totally trust it! Thank you, marketer.
>>106691355>$brand is bad, because it just is, ok?
Are framework notebooks a meme or can you actually daily drive them?
>>106691302HP are terrible though. I've used numerous Elitebook and Dragonfly laptops for work, and every single one has been dogshit. Overheating and broken keyboards being the biggest issues.Thinkpads are Lenovo, and thus chink spywarePanasonic Let's Note have legit been the only things I used in work for years without a single fucking problem.
>/g/ tards actually think they're classy because they use business laptops!>and to make things worse they're poor fags who can't afford to buy high-end laptops!Kek!
You get what you pay for, OP. >>106688985>>106691450>Thinkpads are Lenovo, and thus chink spywareThat's why we like them. Death to the Great Satan.
HP is fucking garbage. Will never buy their shit ever. The cheapest low grade feces. I have had so many piece of shit HP laptops and printers. HP Printers are the most AIDS effected piles of shit in the universe, fucking horrible cocksucking jew bricks. I am brand loyal to Lenovo after virtually every Thinkpad I've bought over years and years now being a tank. I don't think I've ever had a ThinkPad quit on me and I can still go in my office and fire up 10+ year old ThinkPads with no problem. They're amazing for carrying through an airport or whatever. When you go dumpster diving for cheap shit, you're going to get cheap shit. But the Lenovo P series is fucking awesome. Won't switch from buying Lenovo PCs or Canon printers unless there's a dramatic quality decrease.I own a couple MacBook Pros and I really like them but they're more for creative stuff than work. ThinkPads just feel right for grunt ass work on a computer.All my opinion, everyone is entitled to what they like.>>106690072This anon gets it. I just buy used laptops for around $500 and always been quite happy with that. Why spend 3x 4x or 12x the price when I can get great computers that will do the same thing for a fraction of the price? I don't think I've bought a new computer in 20 years.
My Thinkpad T14s G3 works great
>>106691222I used to have 14s-fq0022ur, out of all laptops with the same price it was the only one with Athlon Gold 3150U, non-soldered RAM with 2 slots (and HP even put 8 gigs of memory in dual channel) and an IPS screen. The only problem with it was that Windows was unusable - after 30 minutes the system will hang, as if the SSD couldn't be read. But it worked perfectly fine under Linux, so it wasn't a big deal, as I was using Fedora Cinnamon, plus HP fixed that in the BIOS update anyway.
ThinkBook is the new ThinkPad.
You can get good screens on thinkpads, the only real downside of them is battery. Look how small this shit is and how much wasted space there is.
>>106689339YepPosted from my T580
>>106692369lenovo p be ten times more expensive than hp e-mail laptop and you need workstation anyway for those renderings aha
>>106689431what if I have a macbook pro and want to buy a thinkpad?
>>106692877>>106692369>i just buy used laptops for around $500 and always been quite happy with that.

Get a framework
>>106693870>>Get a framework>low end performance>medium build quality>high end pricewhat's not to love?
>>106688958test things on the thinkpad first before doing it on the desktop
>>106693870framework is such a scam it's baffling"hey how about you pay high prices for low end devices? the benefit is that you can uhhhh replace an usb port if it breaks"
>>106688958yeah>want to buy a laptop>poor batter life non starter honestly
I have an L series thinkpad, it's pretty solid for the money I paid for it.
>>106691554post a picture of your surroundings
>>106694185>low end performanceuntrue, there are high spec models>medium build qualityinfinite repairability and you never have to buy a new laptop again>high end priceyou can't get an engineering marvel for cheap
>>106694416well there's a huge market of retards who have been begging for modular laptops for decades
>>106689409anon over seven min power outage is very rare in western thinkpad area
>>106688958You already shouldn't be spending 8+ hours curled like a shrimp around a laptop so the idea of needing one'e battery to last that long always kinda confuses me.unless you're living in the woods with no power at all you'd be hard-pressed to find a usb-c or regular power outlit almost anywhere in the world at this point.Even when I visited a third-world hole in the ground they had outlits anyone could use.
>>106689409>if you want a good laptop you buy a crapplei love how the M series has forced /g/ to begrudgingly accept apples dominance kek
>>106691450are you not allowed to modify elitebook settings
>>106691500there is no such thing as high end computer
>>106692417what does trafo say as you plug power into no ground outlet
>>106697029or i can just buy a regular laptop at normal prices and get all new parts every few years.
>>106698381enjoy your soldered on ram and ssd
>>106698463for half the price of framework, if not less?don't mind if I do. enjoy your overpriced clunker in 5 years when you'll want to replace everything anyway
>>106691450As someone who has had a lot of relatively high end thinkpads over the years, t61p, w520, t15g2 and cheaper ones like the t480 and base t60...my letsnote is much nicer to use in daily life. uses a lot more standard drivers, build quality is better, battery life is better. Doesnt force you into needing to buy a 600 dollar screen option like my t15G2 did in order to get away from a terrible 42% SRGB display. (seriously the screen on the t480 and base t15g2 are worse than my t61p was in 2007)
>>106689188My Zbook USB port fried my external HDD not even a year in.
>>106698469In long run framework saves money
>>106698582no, it does not.
>>106698615Instead of having to buy a whole new laptop, I will just buy a new gpu or cpu. Like we all do with our desktops
>>106688958I recently bought a T16 Gen 4>Intel Core 5 Ultra 225H>Arc 130T iGPU>WUXGA100% sRGB display>32GB DDR5 RAM>4 Cell 86Wh BatteryI love it
>>106698551Have you looked into replacing the battery on the Let's Note? Mine is on its way out and apparently Japan doesn't allow batteries to be shipped standalone.
>>106698734I have not, Mines at 95.6% health with only 61 cycles despite the PC being on for 6840 hours.
>>106698551What’s up bro, I thought you were gone after the hack
>>106698940Naw I stuck around, just post less.
>>106688958here's your computer bro.
>>106688983Basically anything is
>>106688958Me. I like them.
>>106688958>poor battery lifeI get over 10 hours out of my T480>mediocre cpusthey're not made for gaymes>no gpumy T480 has an Nvidia GPU. but again it's not made for gaymes, I disabled it>low quality screenexcellent replacement panels are 60 bucks on aliexpress. are you poor?>lmao, who even buys this shitheterosexual men>>106689946>You can stuff 72Wh in a t480.you can stuff 96Wh into a T480 (and A485). 72Wh external + 24Wh internal
>>106688958>thinkpad>uses a picture of a poorfag E series.The only ThinkPads are X series, T series, P series, and X1 series.
>>106688958Were you reading /g/ from 2012?Buy a Macbook dummy.
>>106689011Do you realize how easy it is two swap a Wi-Fi card? One or two screws and a couple connectors
>>106689011an AX210 costs 10 bucks
>>106689024I got a pristine W530 for school last year for $60 and it's great. I'm posting from it right now. My phone has more RAM and a faster CPU but this machine just does everything I need comfortably and has the best keyboard I've felt on a laptop.
>>106692369Actually I have to backtrack on not buying any new computers. I have bought quite a few of those new mini computers sweeping Amazon that are like $100-300 for some respectable specs. I didn't originally think of them since I largely just use them for watching sports when there's several games I want to watch at once. If you get a chance, check out some of those mini-computers on Amazon. They're probably chink shit but I'm highly impressed with them for $100-300
It blow my mind how laptop battery life has basically never improved outside of a few rare instances like M-series macbooks. The bargain bin Toshiba I got in 2006 lasted just as long as my $2000 2025 Thinkpad. And everything in between could only last 5 hours max if I left it idling on the desktop. Realistic usage web browsing gets you 3 hours.
>>106702259>bro just bust out your 16 pin soic chip clip and compatible reprogrammer to load a recompiled 128MB eeprom binary to the dual redundant bios flashso you can use a circa-2007 802.11a chicom atherosso easyso easy bro
>>106702378battery cells don't really improve over timethey are or aren't
I like my e14 gen 6 a lot, haven't had any quality issues that they apparently have
>>106702389What the fuck are you going on about? It just werks. I swapped out my Realtek AC card for an Intel AC card the day I got my X13 gen 2
>>106688958every laptop sucks ass nowadays because they're all basically the same, disposable garbagesome modern thinkpads still have a semblance of repair/upgrade-ability while still being relatively high qualitywhich is more than you can say about literally any other brand, maybe dell at that point why not just get a thinkpadyour only other options are macbooks and """gaming""" laptops which will last you a month at best
>>106702410many lenovo's white listed what wifi cards would work, ruling out future upgrades or even repairs later on so you are locked to specific cards unless you flash a custom bios.
>>106702410lmao.Yeah intel is not on the black-list.I'm joking about the libreboot autism i had myself into back in the day.
>>106702432>>106702443In other words you can just swap the card in a couple minutes and be done with it
>>106688958i bought a legion in 2022 that was like $1400. broke in 2 years with light use. such a steaming pile of shit. You are a fucking retard if you don't buy apple at this point. for real.
>>106690217that thing will be a piece of shit in 5 years, and the mac will keep going. also comparing screens is legit retarded. lol.
>>106702493in 5 years he can just recompile the entire system.he has more loaded into memory at this moment than a 1800$ macbook is capable of. and more than twice the total capacity of a fully spec'd pro.in 5 years your mac will be unable to load the system or apps without swap file and your upgrade scheme will leave your system slow and overheating, the proprietary software scheme will have run it's course you will be gouged another 1-2k and your old machine will be shredded for it's 20$ worth of base metal.
Macbooks are fucking tanks, no doubt. I have a beat to death Macbook that is 9+. years old that looks like it's been through a nuclear war with how beat up it is. Still fires up with no problem. That Macbook is probably the finest thing I've ever owned.
>>106688958Get a ThinkCentre instead!
They have a use case that isn't yours, so that's why they're bad?
Stop being poor and get an X1 Carbon Gen 13. That shit is literally a Macbook without locked down shit, battery life is pretty good, it feels premium and silent as shit. It has a 3K OLED screen too.
>>106689339It's because even though Lenovo butchered the ThinkPad brand, they're still really good laptops, and the IBM Thinkpads are basically unusable in 2025.
>>106688958Me.>Main PC is used for pretty much everything>Still need a backup PC if it randomly cuts off>Buy a T430>Currently use it to just play childhood console games and even ones i never got to try>OS is an arch meme distro called rebornOS>Trinity is cool as shitI still need to set up a dualboot with WIN10 running off an NVME because we're moving soon.
About to cop a P1 Gen 6 4090 12gb 64gb ram 2TB 1440p 165hz for $2.5k bandsNone of you fags will stop me
>>106703037>X1 Carbon Gen 13. That shit is literally a MacbookLMFAOMFAO
>>106694416>the benefit is that you can uhhhh replace an usb port if it breakswhich as coincidence may have it, you can also do on a macbook pro, all the ports are individually replaceable parts now. so their one selling point is literally available in the most normie faggot oversaturated laptop on the market >but bro you can repair it in 5 yearsno in 5 years if it breaks I'm throwing it in the trash battery and all and buying a new laptop. who the fuck wants to replace an overpriced motherboard in a laptop in 5 years assuming the company will be around that long, which it probably won't. so you'll be buying clone parts from chinks off ebay anyway. which you can do today for virtually any laptop. lol
>>106698582spoken like a retarded cuban still driving a 1962 chevrolet deathtrap.
>>106702531>in 5 years he can just recompile the entire system.>he has more loaded into memory at this moment than a 1800$ macbook is capable of.>and more than twice the total capacity of a fully spec'd pro.I bet you on nearly every benchmark a Mac rapes your sperg machine. I run local LLMs on my m1 max with 32gb of ram, hows that working out for you? >>106702531>in 5 years your mac will be unable to load the system or apps without swap file ai have a macbook from 2012 that still works. you people are so retarded. I can download an run whatever mac OS released in the last 20 years. apple has them for free to download. You can always run linux on mac.
