Just bought a Lenovo thinkpad T480 for $170.Specs are Intel Core i5-8350U 1.70GHz 8GB RAM. Price includes the 500gb SSD and charger I got for it.I intend to maybe run a mc server on it and to upgrade the ram eventually. Did I do good or no?
why would you buy a laptop for running a Minecraft serverthere is better suited ser
Install Gentoo.
>>106742139>t480 for $170this fucking economy lmao
>>106742139>I intend to maybe run a mc serverMinecraft has stupidly high CPU requirement unless everyone agrees to travel together 24/7.
>>106742184Well, ignoring the minecraft pipe dream, is it not complete shit?
>t480 for $170just give your money away at this point
>>106742139>intel core i5
>>106742206Come on... it's a thinkpad... it's gotta be worth it...
>>106742228not for 170 fucking dollarinosI got a T430 for $35 recently and I don't even think it was a good deal
>>106742204Oracle has Always Free tier ARM service with 24 GB ram so hosting your own minecraft server is rather pointless.Anyway, it's a good buy if you do go outside. That's about it.

>>106742139>Minecraft server>for some reason spent $170 on a thing with a displayYou would have gotten infinitely more mileage out of three used K8 M720 tinies for $120 + s/h
if it's in mint condition, and battery is good, it's a fair price
>>106742285Battery is good, things been stress tested and verified. Only minor scuffs on casing.
>>106742276This.>>106742139People use laptops for dedicated servers usually because that's what they have lying around.Otherwise, people rent (cloud/internet/virtual) space/servers or have run their own physical servers, which can range from some Raspberry Pi to... idk, some fag probably even has 512-core server racks at home.I use an i5 myself, a few generations older than yours, but I've never played Minecraft.
>>106742242Fuck I paid $200 for my T430 just a couple of years ago.
>>106742139They'd ask like 500 usd dollars for that laptop in the shithole of a country where I live.
>>106742302*Also, it's a fine price, OP, no mistakes there.
ISS!!! ISS!!! THINKPADS FOR ALL SPACE TRAVELERS!!! WOOO!!!
>>106742326They don't even use modern thinkpad.They use 19 years old Thinkpad T61p and 11 years old HP Zbook.
>>106742391Truly shows the durability and utility of the thinkpad. Bravo IBM, Bravo Lenovo.
>>106742139>$170 t480i hope youre not american because if so you couldve held out for $120 incl shipping or even $100>>106742184>cd />sudo rm -rf /redundant
>>106742447Cost of laptop + shipping is $110 Trump dollars. Fair?
>>106742139It's pretty mid if you don't need the portability. I bought a T440s for about $100 a year or so ago and even though it's a sturdy and serviceable machine that can handle office work and basic computing, I just never have a reason to use it over my desktop unless i'm traveling or presenting. >I intend to maybe run a mc server on it and to upgrade the ram eventually.If I wanted to run a server I'd just get a 100$ intel N100 mini PC, but yeah otherwise laptop's are decent for running servers as they're power efficient. getting more RAM is a meme unless it's bottlenecking you, same for SSD storage, don't get more unless you need it.I'm thinking of buying a $250 10gen I7 system with 64GB's of ram and I'm also looking at a 13th gen I5 with 16GB's of DDR5 on a B760 mbo for 300$. You can get significantly more powerfull hardware in your price-range if you look into desktops.
>>106742477so freight forwarding + international shipping was $60? thats fair
>>106742245Yeah, but you have to make an account and gib them your payment info.
>>106742563I live in freedom land ham burger football school shootings and the SSD + Charger is the $60 (The thing came without them). The used laptop itself is $110 with the shipping. Shipping only a few states away.
>>106742139you overpaid
>>106742285No it isn't
>>106742139>>106742242>170>35Where do you guys buy these things? There are expensive in Amazon
I remember when those cost around 60 (although you'd have to buy them from boomers who would just send them by mail and you had to gamble on its actual condition)
>>106742482i use my T440s probably 20x more than my powerful desktop because I primarily just fuck on the internet from bed. desktops are not comfy and you can't use them in bed
>>106742305Consider ebay, I got a t14s for $170 + $200 for shipping and taxes, still worth it.
>>106742176>>106742206>>106742228>>106742242Fuck the scamdemic so much bros. Not a single cattle I knew loved WFH but after that, everyone is jumping into WFH. baka
>>106743894Use sunshine on your desktop and moonlight on your laptop to get the fastest gaming laptop in the world
bought 2012 hp probook for $10
>>106743824Local online marketplaces Looking for good deals every day, haggling
>>106742152laptops are the ideal servers. he probably doesn't need more hardware than it has.takes up the least amount of space.keyboard and screen readily available to diagnose network issues
