IRC: #/tpg/ on irc.rizon.net
Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

I could personally test them. I expected some minimum quality at least from Apple, even though I knew not to have my expectations too high. And I swear I have never ever heard such bad quality in a very, very long time, they are just plainly disgusting. Even if I were given them I would turn them down with absolutely no hesitation.

I plan to switch to TrueOS after I get another computer and am out of college.
I'd like to know what the best alternatives there are for Windows':
>AutoHotKey (scripting that can hijack and replace keystrokes)
>Rainmeter (Is Conky good, or is there better? Would I be better off making my own in Python? What libraries?)
Also, can I get the following to run easily on it, and using what emulator? (WINE?):
>Kindle for PC
>Discord (the app, not in the browser)
>Steam (although, of the stuff I listed, this is less important, though would be nice)

Am I the only one who is disappointed with the quality of new "audiophile" turntables? It seems to me that they would be considered entry level at best back in the 70s and 80s. I bought a vintage Yamaha that was top of the line back in 1982 for far less than the current entry level audio technica turntable. It has more features than it too.
>>
Currently I have a pair of Dayotns B652 with a cheap amp, want to upgrade, got 2 options
Stay in 2.0 and buy a pair of somewhat expensive speakers, like ELAC UB5, SVS Prime,JBL ES20 or the Martin Logan 35XT
or buy a receiver and go 5.1, put my daytons as rears and buy a pair of : JBL Arena 120 as fronts and a Arena 125C as center, a pair of Bic America FH6 and for center a FH6-LCR, a pair of Klipsch R15M and a 25c for center
My budget is around 675 - 700 usd
Room size 4 x 4 mts
Music ( Anime OST´s some rock and EDM) and gaming FPS

I think remove that bar background would be so much better
And aligning the icons along the side properly so that they're proportion to the height
>>58216419
Weebshit but it's ok
I don't know why there is that beigeish bar part on the top of the icon border
>>58216456
That weather icon clashes with the whole theme, id rather just have text to indicate the weather condition.
The background is kinda stupid, the wood texture part is pretty crappy and the wallpaper should be just a solid colour with the iconography
