Same, LPCAMM's are the future and Lenovo will 100% start using them in Thinkpads once they catch on, as well as both Intel and AMD using them in their mobile chip specs over soldered RAM since they basically solve all the issues of SODIMM's.

ofc retards who are obsessed with Chinknovo's Stinkpads from circa 2010 will never accept them as they are obsessed with legacy tech and refuse to accept that the legendary durability ended with IBM and that modern Stinkpads are better than the ones of old. No, no one is going to carry spare batteries with them to hot swap, but they will carry USB-C powerbanks they'll be able to charge both their smartphone and their laptops with while Lenovo will offer replacements as CRU and they're piss easy to replace, and WiFi modules were on a whitelist since forever, and it's not like these are notorious for failing so having them soldered is a non-issue.
>>
>>108730296
I would still use it if the battery wasn't dead. I've looked for replacements but it seems like most are just old stock or "refurbished". Would be cool if someone sold rebuilt batteries for it.

>>108730688
there will never be a reason to do this because organizations will buy these things by the hundreds/thousands and they don't give a shit about these features.
they'll even buy the 80 dollar dock that gives it back to them.
it can easily be done if they wanted to since laptops are all the same shape and size these days anyways but there's no actual market for it.

I have no clue what I'll swap to when my T480 kicks the bucket. Probably an AMD T14 I guess or a framework if the price is right.
>>
>>108731050
I don't have a problem with RAM being soldered, I think these days you'd probably upgrade the RAM and CPU at the same time anyway so if you can just replace the whole board that's okay. There can be a medium between making everything upgradeable and making nothing upgradeable

The battery being inside bothers me alot but the inside of these models look so clean.
>>
>>108731677
It doesn't bother me as it's still easy to replace if it goes bad. They're not glued in like in smartphones.
Again, modern chips are much more power efficient and USB-C powerbanks are a thing, and are more versatile than dedicated bulky 18650 modules. There is no need for the old external batteries on ThinkPads anymore, and lunatics still clinging on their X220's depend on them because of their ancient Intel chips that had a batter life on two hours even on factory fresh batteries.
>>
>>108729910
I used to get paid to upgrade RAM and hard drives in old ass thinkpads. The face of the worker when I'd come back with their T400 and take away the T490 we gave them as a loaner... shit was so funny
>>
>>108729928
KEEEEEEK
>>
>>108729988
It's true. Replacing the screen was so satisfying. The way it just slotted in and then pushing in the little ribbon and installing a metric fuck ton of RAM and seeing how much of it was unused because they were on 32 bit windows, I used to cum in my pants
>>
>>108730351
What year did they start getting good? I have a 2021 thinkpad that cost about $3000 and I've used it a few times cause I thought it was shit

Why would anyone in their right mind spend twice as much to get all the old features back when the hardware is not worth keeping after 2-3 years?

These changes were made so you and everyone else can get new laptops for cheaper
The savings are passed on to (You)
(You) are the one benefiting here.
The used thinkpads you buy? Someone had to throw them our or sell them away. These are Lenovo's real customers.

You faggots keep on complaining but when someone comes up with a computer built the way you want barely anybody shows up to buy it
>b-but the computer will depreciate in 2 years. why would i buy it?
>b-but dell sells it for $600 bucks cheaper with the same performance.
>i won't be able to use the upgradable RAM when DDR6 hits
>having a removable battery is nice but hp sells theirs $300 cheaper and the battery capacity is actually 10% better
>why would i pay that much when i could just get a used x270?

>inb4 but it started out great, just look at the laptops of the past
Yeah duh this shit started with rich mofos and professionals buying it. Over time it became a race to the bottom and the models that aggressively cut cost sold the most consistently.

Nobody remembers IBM realizing this and tapping out?
The netbook craze?

There has been a push recently for less slopification of laptops but it hits against the reality of nobody is willing to pay more when everyone got so used to things costing less over the decades.

>inb4 but silicon and the ram
This is about the markup companies put on top of the hardware so they can do R&D and shit. If they are sourcing 4:3 panels as opposed to 16:9, you bet your ass they are gonna have to pay out the ass.

lenovo is removing the metal chassis from it's high-end laptops. the ones that start at thousands of dollars. it doesn't matter if you spend more for intel/amd laptops, they're all plastic crap from lenovo now.
