What’s the point of bragging about owning a thinkpad if it’s been chinesium since 2007? This is some macbook levels of posturing.
>>107237210It's the only non-Apple laptop that just works. (It's still absolute ass compared to a Macbook but let's just ignore that)
>>107237210They're shit, but they're marginally better than the competition and (usually) still significantly better than consumer-tier models.It all depends on your frame of reference. They're all trash compared to the T43p or T60 in terms of quality.

what games can you play on a Thinkpad?
>>107237370Games?
>>107237269>y-y-you c-can't attach a hard drive to a mac y-you just c-can't O-OKAY!?What did the tranny mean by this? Also all of these points that are real and not just a delusional fantasy inside of your head are also applicable to modern thinkpads you disingenuous nigger.
>>107237370I'm playing Marathon on my 440p. It's bretty good, especially the story. Plus, it's free and lately it has native Linux support.
>>107237210Because, they're good.
>>107237210>>107237228>you'll never have pic related on any other laptopthat's why
>>107238186two batteries? I am jealous but at the same time keeping them around 30-60% charged is better for them long term.
>>107237269you know that lenovo has soldered the ram etc. too?
Latitude > Elitebook > Macbook > Thinkpad
>>107238274Of course, I keep my battery charged to 75% on my ThinkPad because I never run out of charge. I wouldn't go lower because my current ThinkPad has a small battery and powerful hardware and a large power hungry screen.>>107238306ragebait>>107238282>tu quoqueT-series ThinkPads like the T14 Gen 5 don't have soldered RAM anymore. Soldered RAM should never have happened in the first place. The L-series have always had socketed RAM, and unlike the T14, the L14 also has upgradable socketed WLAN.
>>107238282And unlike Lenovo so far Apple hasn't been caught installing adware in the factory and MITMing everyone in the process.

Every consumer laptop is a thin piece of shit now guaranteed to break from normal usage
>>107237490>he doesn't know
>>107238408that shit is the sole reason why I haven't bought lenovo since and actively interfere at work so we don't buy lenovo workstationsI know they won't go bankrupt but they deserve to
>>107238430>>107238450>unrelated incoherent seethingthanks chatgpt
>>107238430>illiterateGrim.
>>107237210>since 2007Because mine is older than that.
>>107237210>chinesiumthis is not the use case for this word
>>107240943use case for that word?
>>107237210>chinesium since 2007Not entirely true. IBM didn't just sell a brand name. Lenovo obtained all the R&D facilities, employees and anything related to designing and making Thinkpads from IBM. The chinkification, if it ever happened, was more gradual.
>>107237210It's so hard to find used Thinkpads older than the X240/T440 because they're either all broken or in some neckbeard's personal collection.Meanwhile you can still find plenty of retro Macbooks still for sale on marketplace, ebay, craigslist, etc.Macbooks are simply more durable and robust than the strongest thinkpads.
>>107237210the difference is macbooks can do camera roll and imessage
I just moved from a Microsoft surface laptop to an older T490s.. I enjoy using the T490 more.. all other observations and arguments are irrelevant.Seethe and dilate tranny
>>107237210I really want one because they've got good support from the BSDs. The refurbished ones are also cheap. I don't think the point has ever been about build quality or whatever so much as those two points among *nix nerds. You look like a hobo fucking bum using a refurbished Thinkpad, but people like them because you can get one for $150 and they work fine.Also, Macbooks aren't bad computers at all if you get the high-end ones. Maybe some of the people using the Airs are just posturing, but the high-end ones are awesome for AI and doing a lot of serious work, and the operating system is basically just a slightly shittier version of Linux (at least as far as doing dev work is concerned; the UI is really nice and beats out most Linux distros).>>107237269Macs don't break very often. They reason they charge out the ass is because they use pretty high-quality parts. Pretty sure you can get those things fixed if you send it in.>>107237490To be fair, attaching an external drive to use a laptop isn't ideal. I'm assuming that mine will be permanently hooked up to a TV and replaced by a newer model by the time I have to worry about anything like that, but still.
>>107237495>marathon>storyfraud nigga, no one has ever had the necessary IQ to understand marathon's story, also you are plating a mac game lmao
How do ThinkPadfags deal with having sub 10 hour battery life?
>>107238186my elitebook has a second battery port and didnt cost 800$ used and come with nonremovable anime stickers because of meme tax
>thinkpad aftermarket sparepart way way back from 2010 till now are available unlike any consumer laptop
>>107243740>aftermarket sparepart like what
>>107243702Go back inside? After 10 hours i need a drink of water and I don't shit in the street.Are you homeless or something?
>>107237210I use Linux Mint.I bought Thinkpad in 2014, 2019 and another last year. Each one has Jest Werked, and that's all I really need.
>>107243784It's called a job, you should get one. Unless you're a cubicle cuck, in which case why are you not provided a company laptop?
>>107237210my stinkpad is much older, or it was before i literally threw it in the trash
>>107243759Display bezel, keyboard bezel, keyboards (they usually suck but are serviceable), screens, ram (if not soldered), SSD, power port, ac adapter, fan/heatsink assembliesYou're unlikely to find a number of these for your average Acer PooBook you bought in 2022. You'd have to find a parts unit on eBay and scavenge what you needed. Yes, recyclers exist that sell individual parts but they usually won't bother with rando Walmart specials.
>>107243841I have a job and a company laptop. Even when I travel, there are power ports at the airport, on the plane, etc.What are you doing that you're away from all power sources for 10 hours? Are you one of those weirdos that writes code in a public park or do you legit do shit like land surveying work where you really are in the middle of nowhere for many hours at a time?
>>107243869Why would you brag about having less than 10 hours of battery life when even the shittiest $250 chromebook has 15 hours?
>>107243855just from my own experience, on the acer 500 ("nitro") series these are all common and replaceable parts, and every dell latitude uses 99% the same parts so you can get scrap real easilyin fact, working with thinkpads, i've seen more with soldered or even just annoying to access ram than i have seen consoomer/gaymer laptops with it.
>>107237228>only non-Apple laptop that just worksI don't get this statement. How does the average laptop not "just work"? Besides older linux kernel versions sometimes not having integrated wifi card drivers for very new laptops I've never seen any issues. since you're wintoddler you've probably never encountered this
>>107237269this is basically true of almost all recent thinkpads. aside from the ssd thing.
>>107243869Having to plug in my laptop is communism and niggerism.
>>107238186I think you can't have these in these laptops anymore either given how bad aftermarket and refurbished batteries seem to be
>>107238430all you old ass claims from links off the 2010's have been debunked try harder pedo lol
>>107238450a tweet from 2021 with 2 replies and 24 likes lmaoooobut oh look its the same schizo guy who photoshopped some random benchmark to add Apple at the bottom but got caught red handed when the chip he edited didn't even exist hahahaha "M4 Pro Max Ultra" btw
