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.

just got the 1080 in the mail this morning, hopefully at the end of the week the waterblock and extra 280 rad will arrive. 2x phobya g-charger 280*60 should be enough for a 1080 and 4670k @4.2ghz right?

Anyone else shitposting from a Raspberry Pi? I'm using the Pi 2 with Mate. It's nice but a little slow.

Is it worth it to upgrade to the 3?

Also, what is the best distro?

I don't know if I managed to hold out for Zen much longer. I really wanted to upgrade to a Zen octocore, but my hardware is telling me otherwise.

Hey /g/,

Not sure if you remember me but about a year ago or less I made a post about buying a used laptop from craigslist that had bedbugs in it(I didn't know it had bugs in it). I was terribly frighted and put it into 3 ziplock bags. I then put it in my on the dash in 100 degree weather. This is what the keyboard looks like.

I took the laptop apart and I saw some roasted bed bugs. I am pretty sure it is safe now. After this roast, I put it in a ziplock bag with some 99% alcohol. The screen now has blotches of alcohol. Does anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks!
