>>61905344
Anything with i3 is fine

>>61905549

Fourth for T430 is super comfy and I don't know why I didn't buy it sooner.

My t430 with the shifty display.

So i plan on upgrading my T440p from the current 1366x768 display to a FHD IPS one but just noticed that my current setup uses eDP one lane and the new screen uses eDP two lanes, do i need to change the cable too or something?

...and why are you in /tpg/?

>>61905665
I put in an SSD to replace the HDD it came with. I might upgrade the RAM to 8Gb but probably won't because 4Gb is enough for my needs. I will buy an ultrabay caddy to expand the storage. I was going to replace the keyboard, wasn't sure how I'd like the chiclet, but the keyboard is great. I'd say it's better than the non-chiclet on my old Latitude.

>>61905683
I have a 1600x900 screen.

>>61905716
The screen is a massive improvement from the Latitude I had, which was 1366x768.

Thinkpad T510 reporting in. Found a used T510 on Kijiji that was in excellent condition for $50 CAD. Bought it and swapped used the keyboard, disk drive, heat sink, trackpad and bezel and a battery that lasts 2+hrs on 4chan.

My T510 is the i7 quadcore M620, 6GB, 256GB SSD and Nvidia NVS 3100M 3GB GPU. God tier laptop.

>>61906586

The 1600x900 tn is awful as well... i know this because i have a t420 that has the 1600x900.

Anybody here experiment with solar chargers before?
I might find myself /out/ a lot next year and living in a cabin/campsite is a possibility. The plan is to have my X230 with me to keep busy and do some paperwork. With the 9cell battery (and a spare) that should be good to spend an hour each night before having to top off the batteries. I'll bring a loaded e-reader too but thought it'd be neat to download a bunch of PDF's, articles and Wikipedia pages and junk for when there's no internet. Obviously will load some movies too.

Getting 2 T40s tomorrow. What am I in for? Guy says both work but from what he told me I sense that the CMOS could be dead in one and the other's screen 'keeps flickering'. For 18$ for both, I'm excited, but is there anything too 'blast-from-the-past-y'? IDE drive? some extraterrestrial connectors?

Thanks!

Just got the T470 and it won't even charge, shit the AC adapter is broken or something. I have no clue

>>61908595
Sorry, meant to say T23s. Misread the title.

CMOS dead? buy a 2032, $2 fix.
Screen flicker or backlight flicker? if the latter it should be $15 tops to fix.

Is the T430 worth the price if I'm upgrading from an X220? Can it run TF2 well? (it's the only intensive-ish game I still play, mostly because I hate myself) I'd be using this on a dock as a main PC since I need to travel a shitload. Should I just upgrade my actual desktop I don't sue much anymore or take the plunge?

My main productivity uses are artfagging with KRITA and writefagging with a text editor.

>>61908595

IDE HDD, 9mm one.

Aren't the 40 series rally shitty? Also really expensve? This is based on hearsay. I'm a writefag and I goddamned hate chicklet keyboards and I was considering putting a 20 series keyboard in the 30 series, bu I used a T430s keyboard once and it was actually really nice. is the keyboard quality consistent on the later models?
>>61909150
Kinda sorta. I've only ever gotten source games to run correctly under windows on this laptop for some fucking reason and it seems to be a problem nobody else has, not even my friends who use the same laptop and the same distro.

>>61909232
>Aren't the 40 series rally shitty?
The shitty part is the keyboard layout, soldered U processors (unless you get a t440p) and the touchpad (which can be replaced with the T450 touchpad). You'll also get a more modern platform and the option to have a FHD IPS screen.

>Also really expensve?
Nah they're around the same price as a typical t420 or t430 on ebay and even cheaper on rare ocassions.

>is the keyboard quality consistent on the later models?
Yes but i do agree that the new layout is worse than the old keyboard layout.

Sup friends, looking to buy a new laptop for on the go photo editing.

Budget: Under $300, cheaper the better I suppose but if it's worth it I could shell out the $300.
Location: US
Size: Anything really, preferably something smaller
Performance: Anything that can run Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop smoothly
Other requirements: Getting deeper and deeper into photography and I want to start editing my stuff as I travel instead of waiting until I get home. My only real requirement is having lightroom run smoothly while editing 10/20+ photos at once.

>>61910030
I'm not even the guy with the mexican keyboard. This was just a reference.

>>61910071
Translation about what he said:

Howdy pall, how is the T430 performance, i know the difference is huge but what do you think?
>Actually i have a T420 and i been thinking about buying a X200

Reminder to mexanons to speak in English, this is not /v/.

>>61910061
That's an utterly terrible request really. For photo editing you need a lot of screen real estate, good resolution, good colors. You might find a large Thinkpad within that budget but none of them would have a screen even remotely usable for photo editing.

>Getting deeper and deeper into photography
>lightroom run smoothly while editing 10/20+ photos at once
That's nice and all but if you buy something $300-tier you're gonna be shit out of luck. Best you could find is probably 30 series, maybe 40 series if the machine is in bad condition. These are most likely powerful enough and again, their screens are garbage.

>preferably something smaller
If that's not a priority, you might have some limited options but you're most likely not gonna get them for $300.
15" models are really your only way to go here. Get a W series or a T series with a W series screen. With either of these options you want to be around an outlet most of the time though because if you're working with Photoshop battery life is going to be shit.

>>61910145
>These are most likely powerful enough
What I meanst was
>These are most likely not powerful enough
At least not if you really want to work on 20 photos at once

I was just browsing the Internet on my T420 and suddenly I see a puddle of clear, light brown fluid pooling by the right side of the laptop. It doesn't have any odour and doesn't appear to be acidic (my hands haven't fallen off yet). I pick it up and the entire underside is soaked with this fluid. Immediately unplugged and took out battery.

What the fuck is this, /g/? Could it be possible that something was spilled on it ages ago and it only now drained out? I took it apart to clean it when I first bought it and saw no signs of anything like this. Would appreciate any ideas as to what this could be.

I dropped and broke my Yoga 14 under warranty, and Best Buy didn't have any toi replace it with it, so they tried to give me a newer, non thinkpad yoga, but I was able to get them to give me a gift card for $900 instead, but the new yoga thinkpad is ~$1300 and I can't afford the extra $400, so I'm just looking for something cheaper and use what's leftover for whatever else I ever need.

Thinking of getting this. What are the pros and cons compared to getting a Thinkpad?

>>61910410
Buy a new screen for the Yoga for $25-50?

>>61910474
That is not a thinkpad.
Ideapad is a cheap consumer line.
Works, will last but dont expect any reliability against physical damage.

>>61910485
Yes I know it's not a thinkpad...that's why I asked. So basically the only negative is physical damage? Looks like I'll be getting that laptop then.

>>61910472
Well, I have to buy something from Best Buy because of the gift card. I guess I'll shop around for a price match. Would you pull the trigger under those circumstances? Best Buy doesn't have many options for a thinkpad with an ssd in my price range.

>>61910475
Something broke internally and Best Buy wasn't able to fix. The screen was fine.

>>61910474
I bought an ideapad once and regretted it. Thinkpads are much better.

>>61910509
Yup, Ideapads are not that bad, only the celeron ones.

>>61910516
>Something broke internally and Best Buy wasn't able to fix. The screen was fine.
The fuck did you do?
What broke?

HDD/Screan can break and are easy to repair.
Other than that nothing can break that easy.

>>61910529
I really don't know. I woke up in the middle of the night drunk and vaguely remember dropping it off my bed. To be honest, it's possible I pissed on it too.

Got a refurb t420 with basically like a 'skin' on the top, and the palm rests probably to cover any cosmetic damage. Should I peel them off? It's making my autism kick in.

>>61910577
peel off the touchpad, looks better without that sticker imo

the "skin" dunno, maybe it was trashed/scratched/cummed on to hell

I don't see the problem.

Even if the BIOS were to be locked it's easy to remove a supervisor password on those models.

>>61910642
I would still have to upgrade the RAM and add a second HD, and there's no guarantee on the quality.

>>61910426

Notice me people !

>>61910709
There's very little guarantee of quality on certified refurbished models. All it means is that they have all the parts they need to work, you'll still need to clean them out and replace thermal paste to fix temps. Not to mention DDR3L is reasonable inexpensive, just pick up an 8GB stick for ~$40 and have 12GB.

>>61910736
Thanks for the info anon. What are your thoughts on the T420? I know you can add it's keyboard to the T430 but aren't there compatibility issues? Also is the processor really that better on the T430?

Man im making crazy a guy im buying a T400 for my sister, i feel bad for them but the site warranty says, if he mentions it it must be that way or you get 100% refund.
Since i cant complain about stuff he never mentioned im bombarding him with questions for 2 days in a row.
I think i will leave them a tip.

i need a laptop for school. cs related shit and something i can put a linux distro on. whats the best model to get for a used chinkpad nowadays?. ideally i would like a 1600x900 screen, 8gb ram, i5, ssd. i know the t420 used to be recommended a lot. is there a better model i should be looking for now? i dont really want to spend more than like 350-400 dollars max, preferably less than that on something used.

Does anyone want to buy an X220 i5-2520M with 4GB RAM? I might be able to get 3 of them from a small business nearby upgrading, I can replace the paste with NT-H1 and clean them out with compressed air.

>The shitty part is the keyboard layout
The keyboard layout is the same as the T430 I assume? If not then what's the difference and what can be done about it?

Daily reminder that people who hate on ThinkPads do so because it is too good for them and they think that if they can't have something no one else can.

As a fellow Canadian in that city, it's not worth it. Not even close.

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-laptops/city-of-toronto/lenovo-thinkpad-t430-i5-2-6ghz-8gb-ram-256gb-ssd-hdd-win-10-pro/1289369452 is better and cheaper. Though if you're a purist you may want to put a T420 keyboard in there instead.

I'd totally get a T420 if I can upgrade it's specs. The CPU is alright but the GPU is terrible, and the T430's HD4000 vs HD3000 is a big boost. I thought Intel graphics were integrated into the CPU. Is this true? Could I upgrade the CPU in a T420 to a CPU that supports Intel HD4000 graphics?

>>61911588
>I'm too much of a pussy to buy something used.
That's like, 70% of the reason people recommend Thinkpads in the first place.

You just said you're a cs student, so as long as the BIOS isn't fucked, it shouldn't be too hard getting wangblows up and running.

>>61912524
I'm pretty sure setting up an eGPU would be easier than doing what you just described.

But if you really want a T430, why not just get one? Frankenstein a T420 keyboard on if you must.

Get a T430, it is better in every way.

This is actually more impotant on a desktop system because moving your mouse to the top is more ergonomic than moving it to the bottom. On a Laptop you don't have a mouse in a classical sense so do whatever you want. I'd recommend you put it on the left side to save precious vertical space

I need an electric typewriter (i.e. word processing only) but I am dirt poor, so probably I would need to go for a Dell Latitude instead of a Thinkpad (as they are more common locally in my country).

>>61905344
One of the neat things about the x60 is the fact that you can go full freedom on it. If you're into that then go with parabola, and for God's don't use the graphical livecd, it gave me a ton of issues when I used it. One thing to note is that the x60 came with 2 (I think) different wifi cards. The Intel one needs nonfree firmware, so if you have that then keep in mind parabola won't play well unless you replace the card. You can get replacement ones on eBay for very cheap, so that isn't a huge issue. I would definitely recommend going with a minimal install, i3/bspwm/openbox should work well. It's a fun laptop and should serve you well.

While on the topic does anyone know a reliable seller of batteries for the x60? I have 3 of the fuckers but no working battery so they are currently just sitting around

>>61906661
I didn't know what the fuss was over the panel for the longest time, it just looked like any other tn panel to me. Then I plugged the thing into another monitor and discovered how bad it really is. The whole time I thought my wallpaper was a gradient from blue to a lighter blue, but it was actually blue to green. It's actually absurd how awful the panel is. Luckily the laptop is not used for any color critical jobs, but holy shit if you plan to do anything with photos or video look elsewhere

>>61923342
The fan is connected to the heatsink, and they're usually different between models. I doubt a X220t fan will work with a t410, but I'm uncertain.

>>61922947
Looks good, but the processor is slower than the one in regular T430. No trackpoint buttons may also be a deal breaker for some, but you can probably replace it. Up to you, I guess.

>>61923423
I don't mean swap the fans, I mean just switching to the X220t, while I try to fix the fan on the T410. I'm hoping the fan just got loose, or I may need a fan replacement, or even worse losing my t410.

Am I missing something? Are only some of them tablets?
Which models should I look at? I like drawing and programming.

>>61924851
There is a tablet and non-tablet version of the X220 and X230.

>>61924925
What's the point of the non-tablet x2*0 over the T series?

>>61924943
Coreboot or libreboot, also a different series of attachments you can decide between

>>61924943
smaller, lighter, longer battery life, X-series are considered "ultraportables", 12" vs 14" or 15.6"

The tablet version compared to non-tablets are fatter and bulkier and doesn't have an extended battery option.

>>61925006
>>61925016
Should I still try and grab the tablet version then, or just use my wacom tablet awkwardly on my laptop?
I haven't really looked into the different boot options.

>>61924943
>>61925006
And an inch or so smaller in length and width so it's easier to travel with and use on airplane trays, etc.
More importantly, that sweet IPS display.

the non-tablet is better in every way except for the pen/touch part and the tablet is guaranteed IPS screen

but even the tablet is not that great for drawing since you're stuck with the 1366x768 resolution and the pen is bad as well, also the IPS screens have burn-in problems

>>61925045
I don't know how the touch screen performs but the single swivel latch is a weak point imo, the screens have some wobble. Double hinges is nice.

>>61925228
ahh yeah I'm reading reviews between that, the HP 27*0, and the latitudes that do the same thing. sounds shitty, but I'm not sure how shitty I should expect it to be - I doodle on my samsung tablet fine even if it's not great

>>61922734
i'm not an expert but i would reinstall os. if you want to use that same os then i would install a firewall and monitor it really closely for about a week.

>>61921799
this reminds me
Why hasn't anyone done fanart for any lenovo thinkpad series laptop yet?
Here's what I'm thinking, I can't draw but I can imagine.
Straight long black hair. Pale, tall, gorgeous. Probably in business or the typical maid attire. Green eyes.
what are you guys thinking?

>>61925875
Red eyes for red clitmouse

>>61925894
no
green eyes for the lit up powerbutton

>>61925875
where does the feminine benis go?

>>61925875
there was someone a while ago who drew their own rendition of an X-series, T-series, and W-series. (and X-series tablet maybe? don't remember) but it was basically that, black and red accents

green+blue accents would be nice as well but they don't really go together

>>61925944
oh right that's what it was, the x-series tablet was a penis girl

This thinkpad has more power than current pc and life is good. thanks /tpg/ for selling me on this glorious /g/ memetop.

Where do you guys get your 8GB 1600mhz sticks?

>>61925951
The green and blue accents would look nice if they were put on an HP girl instead.
I know you can pay people to do good artwork and stuff but I don't really have the money to do that (saving up for another thinkpad :> )

>>61926036
where ever is cheaper and has good/easy returns

I use newegg

$200 for a T430s i5, 8GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, HD+ display, and good cosmetic condition. Decent deal or did I get got

>>61926168
I think you did good anon ;)

>>61925894
>>61925902
Heterochromia then lads.

>>61926264
but my idea makes more sense
ultimately it comes down to who is willing to draw it

>>61926065
No DDR3L there.

>>61926448
DDR3L = DDR3
there's a voltage slider

>>61926448
DDR3 and DDR3L will work, they both are compatible between each other.
The only time it will matter is when you are using a ULV 2w Atoms CPUs.

>>61927241
Size matters though.

>>61925988
I had the t520 until some nigger stole it.

>>61922801
Bump before I make a potentially foolish purchase.

>>61927979
if you're worried about $30 then it's not worth it

>>61927979
just do it

worst case you end up with another linux machine

>>61927989
I've just never seen it recommended and don't want something useless in my house. The money isnt issue as much as wasting time to go and buy the thing.

>>61928033
It's smaller and weaker than a regular X series but it's pretty comfy from what I've seen. And even if you don't like it, you can use it as a server or something.

Hey there faggots! Small question, I ordered a trackpad off eBay for $1 for my x220 but just the plastic cover came. Will it never be functional?
I already have a working trackpad but it's worn out and aesthetically unpleasing

>>61928626
>rotating hinge
>no trackpoint
>chinklet keyboard
>no roll cage

>>61928643
>but it's worn out and aesthetically unpleasing
put an sticker on it

>>61928643
if it's ugly do it like me. take it out, tape it over with black tape and glue it back in place so it doesn't click anymore

new to /tpg/ should I get this for this price? It's a w520.

>>61928751

CPU is a Intel Core i7 2760QM 2.40 ghz Quad Core.

>>61928662
this, find a vinyl shop and have them wrap it with the car wrap. they give jobs like that to the new guys to GIT GUD with.

>>61928751
get this instead, and a nice gear bag and mouse for it

Is an X201 with an i5 and an ssd worth the $100 I'll save over a comparable X220 or are they slow as shit nowadays? I just want a small secondary laptop for browsing and video streaming. I like the screen ratio, and I would not be opposed to upgrading the wifi card and ram if I needed to.

Thanks anon!

>>61928797
look harder for the X220. I got a really nice one with a HDD for $70 on fleabay

>>61928806
no problem bro, I would have bought it, but i have 3 thinkpads here already. get it wrapped or find a auto body guy to do a custom paintjob on the lid to fix it up. also ask them if all the ports are 100%.

>tfw T420 and X220 in the mail
>9-cell batteries in the mail for both
>canned air in the mail
>already have new thermal paste
The waiting is killing me.

Is X220 on the libreboot list yet?

>tfw just won a T60 for $40
Next step is Libreboot and Gentoo, right?

>>61929135
>tfw waiting for IPS FHD screen

i know that feel anon

where do I get a replacement 2570p track point cap? Do thinkpad ones work?

>>61929143
no and it probably won't ever be supported. the ME can't be flashed

Anyone here have an x270? I'm considering it but some reviews say that it's got overheating/fan issues.

Is there something wrong with CCFL thinkpads?
Are they hard to replace?

>>61928662
>>61928683
I don't want to do that, that's even more autistic
Do you know the answer to my question? I haven't tried to install it yet but I wanna know if it's worth it to go through the effort
