how are you holding up with the best thinkpad ever made
>>107863987Unless you're buying frankenpad like X210Ai, nobody cares about your glorified doorstep.
I threw my x230 into the garbage sometime around 2020. I regret nothing
>>107863987>how are you holding up with the best thinkpad ever madeAmazing, planning on doing the classic keyboard mod like yourself shortly!
>>107863987>best16:9...
>>107863987>2 cores in 2026Just observing this empty desktop makes you realize you can't do anything worthwhile on this dinosaur.4 core thinkpads are now in the bargain bin, holding on these is not frugality it's just being plain stupid.
I just upgraded my old dual core laptop, not a thinkpad it had an intel 480m cpu. It was loud as shit (even after cleaning fans and repasting). and I couldn't manage it to boot with 8GB of RAM despite officially being supported. 4GB is too little today, had to restart firefox every 30 minutes.The nvidia drivers were also not supported anymore and it was always a pain to update the kernel due to that.The speed didn't bother me at all. I was thinking about getting an x230, but where I live these are for some reason still expensive as shit
>>107863987My x200 is sitting on the shelf. It's the fault of the web for getting bloated as hell but doesn't change the fact these are not comfortable to use in 2026.
X220 king here using it as we speakMost comfy keyboard ever made removing it was a crime against humanity
>>107864236>for some reason still expensive as shitThey're sought after for their compatibility with Coreboot/Libreboot (primarily the latter). The form factor and build is nice, but I don't think that alone would justify buying a more than decade old laptop.
>>107864186>4 core thinkpads are now in the bargain binEven so, Youtube starts using modern codec that doesn't run well even on a 2018 Stinkpad unless you go out of the way to install h264ify extension.This wouldn't bode well.
>>107864029>I threw my x230 into the garbage sometime around 2020havent touched mine in yearshonestly dont even know what to do with it now
>>107864186>>107864447I just watch jewtube on an i7 quad core x230 with 40% CPU usage
>>107864186you can do a lot on dual core, it just forces you to not use shitty software
>>107863987Well you're clearly not one of them since this is a photo that you copied from over a year ago.https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/100680686#100680686
>>107866516i watch it on T540p (2013 model) with:CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710MQ (8) @ 3.50 GHz16GB RAM DDR3
>>107866516>>1078668652011 T520 with i7-2760qm here. A bit loud, but surprisingly still usable.
>>107864476Give it to me
>>107863987I have an X220 Tablet and installed Fedora on it recently which makes it somewhat usable again, but jesus christ that 12" 1366x768 screen is not enough for me.
>>107863987You mean X220.
>>107863987just sold mine last week, no kidding. I daily drive an x270 now
Just bought a x220 i5-2540m yesterday. Amazing keyboard and enough for most of what I need.
Usecase?
>>107868550Which is what
>>107863987>1366x768
>>107863987>>107864027What can it even dooooooooo anymore?Does it go thermonuclear playing 480p YouTube?
>>107863987>kb modNoice
>>107863987I've had thinkloads of shitpads but I've mostly sold or given them away. Specially liked the X220 and X230. Only one I have left is a X390.
>>107869141even my shitty i5 T450 ate 1080p Av1 60fps of this easily, on fucking librewolfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oaj6jo_LKLYquad core x230 should do better
>>107869141I use mine as a server
you people clinging to your 20 and 30 series thinkpads sounds like those retards clinging to a 600x back in the forum days. 'its still usabl-ack!'
How do I git one for fri?
>>107871028They are literally like 20 bucks online.
>>107863987kys, shill
>>107864063>best1366x768
>>107863987still using mine daily for animes in the bed and hosting a minecraft servert. i7 with 16Gb of RAM
>>107864186Show literally one (1) ((uno)) (((un))) usecase for a supposedly portable machine that requires a gazillion cores
>>107863987Only the finest chinese garbage for you!
>>107871343i think pixel per inch is more important than raw resolution numbers
>>107871343I haven't seen a 1366x768 display in many years
>>107868874I like that it limits me. While i can watch YouTube on it and browse 4chan there's many things i wouldn't care to even try. I'm a student and i take my notes in nvim so it's good enough for that and writing latex papers and sshing to my main machine. It's a good focus machine as i won't be so tempted to dick around all the time on it. It's also nice size for couch use
>>107864467Anyone have a link to a non-shit chinkshit xx20 keyboard, or is buying a parted out keyboard my only option? I don't think I could stand regularly typing on a shitty keyboard.
my x230 is perfectly usable but i'm kind of sick of it desu, i think i'll sell it and get one of those nip panasonic laptops with a 16:10 1200p display and quad core
>>107872251Those circular trackpads look like they're shit to use--they're a pain in the ass to take apart too, from what I've seen. Why can't other manufacturers just incorporate the damn trackpoint and buttons on there own models? I think Lenovo even wants to phase them out too.
>>107872304you have a point and yeah it's a shame. the main reason i kept the x230 around this long is because of how good the trackpoint + three button mouse combo feels to use, but sadly the average consumer would rather lift both hands off the keyboard and use the trackpad like a tard
>>107872392Real human beings use a mouse, actually.Why are you not? Are you laying in bed, or something? Are you just too poor to afford a desk?
