None that I've found, theyre so thin that it hurts my fingers. Just got an X230 today for $220 amerifatdollars. It was lighter than expected and the keyboard is pretty amazing. Not as good as the old Thinkpads, but its lightyears ahead of ultrabook keyboards.

I will probably buy a MBP Retina come tax refund time in April/May.

I use my laptop for university stuff and it is sold out at the moment, but here is a pretty similar one: http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/dell+inspiron+15+7000+serie+7537+3290/eqsqid/67bc886d-f650-464d-84de-376fa9ad3608

Mine is a little bit better than that and this is kinda the ultra version:

http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/dell+inspiron+17+7000+serie+7737+3320/eqsqid/67bc886d-f650-464d-84de-376fa9ad3608

My laptop has a hybrid storage, so that I have like 125 GB of SSD storage and 375 GB of normal storage. My laptop boots in like 5 seconds and the laptop also has a touchscreen. Battery life is okay for that power and speed. Kinda looks like a MacBook Pro, but is cheaper and better.

not that guy, but 780 rigs can get scores of 10K+ with mild overclocks (ie. within warranty). the "high end gaming PC" is running stock everything

I have
>6 years old Acer 5736z
>Opened it up only to upgrade or hardware-mod
>Never failed
>Still works
I only stopped using it because the oldie Pentium processor and Intel Graphics combo can't keep up.
I didn't even take care of it
>Keyboard looks "heavily used"
>Screen is scratched because the keyboard and bezel makes contact with the LCD
>It was carried on my backpack for years without protection

Battery still works perfectly, lasts 3 hours.

Funny story though
>In 2012 I Got a Sony Vaio laptop
>Battery made by Samsung
>After a year the battery is near-dead, only 20% capacity left
>Battery time dropped from 6 hours to 40 minutes.

My Acer 5736z
>Battery made by Sony
>After all these years, still works
>96% capacity
>feelsgoodman.tga

My older Acer, made in 2008
>Battery still works for 2.30 hours.

Laptop batteries from sony are softlocked. They work for ONE year and they suddenly die.
It is not the first Vaio computer I had and this always happen, even if you do not use the battery at all
>Sony laptop
>Drain the battery to 40%
>Store it away
>A year later battery is dead, no matter what.

The firmware for the management module resides on an EEPROM on-board, it's near the chipset. Find it, remove it and that's it. No more AMT.
Boot up windows
>Management Engine
>This device cannot start (code 10)

As easy as that.

I don't see the point of spending more than $500 on a laptop.

Yeah sure I could fork out $1,000 for an ultrabook and yeah it'll probably be fast and all.... but at the end of the day battery technology is still the worst no matter what. After a year the battery turns to absolute shit and the replacement prices are unbelievably high.

People are just better off buying a $400 laptop, it'll end up lasting 3 years if you nurture it carefully. Most people just need their Facebook and porn.

Lets assume i actually crack up one of the x230's i have around. Lets say i manage to find that one chip.

If i remove it, is there any other fallout from that aside from amt and or vpro features gone?

Also, only because something reports an error does not mean it isnt there anymore...

Do it and report back.
I won't spoonfeed you. If you're autistic enough to remove AMT which isn't even used, try and do that.
I won't make a tutorial.

Too late, I don't think I'm going back. I already switched to a rMBP and the premium feel blows the t420 out of the water in my opinion. If Lenovo wants my money they're going to have to make the T or W series not a piece of shit. Because I'm not going to spend a couple grand on anything they have out at the moment. Have you tried the t440/t440s? Or the W series now with a number pad? It looks and feels horrendous . I also doubt they're going to change the keyboard. I've tested the t530 and x230 on various occasions and the keyboard just feels mushy and strange, just like the trackpad on the t440 series. They need to go back to the IBM thinkpad roots. And looking at Lenovos track record it seems unlikely.

Same, I have a 128 ipad that I use as a laptop for all of my mobile needs. I have a desktop at home when I need to do CAD work

Best of both worlds

I just bought 2 T7s and they work great.
Are you trying to play games on your laptop?

Anyone have a surface pro 3?

Does the temperature stay manageable or does it get pretty hot? I'd like to use it in bed, but I usually end up using my android tablet since it doesn't get hot as fuck like my current laptop.
