This thread is about the appreciation of horology, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

Is the X220 still worth getting in 2017?
Long story short, I'm looking for comfy laptop that I can take around with me easily yet still get stuff done on it. Ideally, I'd get something with a 14inch display and a 1920x1080 panel, but you can't have that while being this poor. Main thing I'm looking for is portability, battery life and reliability. I'm aiming to spend 200 GBP or 240 EUR max.
So far, the only thing that fits most of my criteria is the X220 or X230 but the screen size does concern me a little.

goddamn that looks comfy.

Seems like you answered your own question. Just depends if you can live with 12" or not.

I have the X230T. I bought it new in 2012 and its still my daily use laptop. Works well but its been through two fans and two batteries. Gets really hot and lots of the plastic has chipped off because I keep dropping the damned thing. It doesn't have the OG Thinkpad keyboard but its still a comfy-ass keyboard that blows every other laptop keyboard I've tried out of the water.

Why is old technology so superior to new technology?
And why did they stop making good solid long-lasting high-quality technology products?

Except the belts inside that tape deck are shot and it doesn't work unless you replaced them.
>>
>>60294126
Oh the belts are not shot, that Marantz 5020 tape-deck works perfectly fine. And as you can see it's got Super Hard Permallow Head so there's nothing to worry about.
The sad truth is that I don't actually use it, it just looks fancy on top of the 2225 receiver which I do use all the time.
Don't even try to tell me that modern receivers have the awesomeness of these knobs and levers.

You Android fanboys say that iOS lacks some features you badly need in your daily life. And that would be? Please refrain from going too deep, like powering up your dragon dildo from USB OTG.

Why that exclude ?
When you ask this question you should accept all answers.

I prefer Android because of the vast number of custom roms available for the device...
Don't like the stock ROM...switch to miui or resurrection remix,problem solved
Didn't like iOS ? Deal with it..

I feel that I'm in the same boat, I pieced together a $1000 midrange gaymen rig the other week now that my laptop is showing it's limits, but I feel lost as to what games I want to play on it. I find myself going back to the laptop for 4chan and work despite having a 1366x768 resolution.

Kill, I don't think so... At least not with a standard one even if it's me of steel. The ninja star ones could be deadly.
There's a video on jewtube where a bunch of idiots put razors on one and cut their friend so bad that he had to go to the ER to get patched up...

You have built a time machine to 1980.
IBM is hard at work with their upcoming PC.
Assuming that whatever you tell the IBM engineers to implement will set the way for all "IBM compatible" PCs of the future, use the hindsight of over 35 years to ensure that modern home computers are the best that they could ever be

Intel's next gen being 10nm has less performance than their current CPU's.

Too bad it wont! Intel is already ahead by over 40% in some games!

>>60285224
It would be nice if they increase single core performance but I bet they will add more cores.
