Have to move to naziland for 2 years(from Russia). Need a laptop.

Initial choice was t460s, but turns out it has unbelievably shitty autonomous life(5 hours tops), dim display and relatively high probability of a defective keyboard/trackpoint.

Another choice is X1 Carbon, which is less sturdy, has absolutely no options for upgrading along the way and no option for a non-backlit keyboard.

Both are pretty much the same: 6600U Cpu, 16Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD and 2560x1440 IPS screen. Both have relatively lacking gpu (hd instead of iris).

Will use for latex, browsing, 10-bit anime and occasional coding. All that on Linux.

I will not be able to return or replace the laptop once I've got it, so I'd really appreciate your input.

My previous laptop was t530, but the mobo died after some water got on the keyboard, so I don't care for drainage pipes.

Couple more desperate bumps and will probably settle on Carbon.

Last bump.

The x260 is better if you don't need something super thin

Honestly you watch anime and trying to buy a shitpad because its a meme, go fuckyourself retard

Pick the device with the better display.

Chinkpads.

Truly sad...

I'm afraid it will be too small.
>>55810647
Basically have the same panel, if I'm not mistaken.
>>55810601
Not really, I just love trackpoint, which ir a killer feature for me.
>>
>>55810665
As I said, trackpoint does it for me and "good old" IBM models will not cut it in the GPU segment.

Dells have trackpoints too

Will check them out, thank you.

>>55810786
Well, bandwagon is not always a bad thing.
>>
>>55810782
One question, though. How are the keyboards on them? Loved the one on t530.
>>
>>55810818
Similar to current ThinkPads but beware that new Dell laptops lack dedicated Home and End keys.

I just switched from a T400 to a T450s and the keyboard is a little worse. Typing is fine. I welcome the silence, but layout is a little worse.

Btw OP I recommend you get the T450s if you want a bright IPS display.

You can get 10+ hours with the thicker external battery

The T450s is not perfect but the least awful to me right now, coming from a T400.

>>55810782
Only one model has a trackpoint.

dell xps is good for шкoлник))
>>
>>55810870
More expensive, no track point.
>>
>>55810696
>GPU segment
seems you are not going to use it other than to watch anime, so you are good with a standard intel3000 of an old pad.
>>
>>55811161
Thanks. Wasn't sure about 1440p.

One question. Does gimp use gpu already?
>>
Name of the country is Germany not naziland you retarded homo from russia
>>
>>55810316
Get the not-Carbon. Carbons have worse battery life, and being unupgradeable makes it a worse investment
>>
>>55811603
How did you know I was talking about the Germany then? No offence though, great country.
>>55811679
You sure? Every review says that 460s is terrible

Lenovo is fucking dead past the T530 era.

Get a MacBook Pro Retina.

Had t530, was disappointed.
MBP is out of the question due to the OS.

OLED x1 yoga. Pretty much a better x1 carbon. Might as well go big op

The 4th gen X1 is the broadwell, or is that the same gen as the T460s?

If so, I have one.

It's OK. Not as good looking and good feeling as the previous thinkpads, but should get the job done.

However, I hate the sharp front edge. The round lip you had with the clamshell was so much more comfortable so rest your wrist on. also, the keyboard is pretty shallow, but so is the T460s.

>Both have relatively lacking gpu (hd instead of iris).
protip: Even with an iris, those are not for gaming. Some old games run quite fine anyways (think GTA San Andreas and the like)

>but the mobo died after some water got on the keyboard,
If you remove them from power imidiately, and clean the whole thing with distilled water and after this, pure alocohol (dont drink it, Iwan!), mishaps like this can normally be salvaged. Rescued my X200 after spilling beer on it in 2010, and its running perfectly ever since.

>it has unbelievably shitty autonomous life(5 hours tops),
Source?
The X1 easily gets above 6 hours, even 8 is not an issue at all.

>The 4th gen X1 is the broadwell, or is that the same gen as the T460s?
Same as T460s. Skylake.
>However, I hate the sharp front edg
Had opportunity to play around with both and 460s is a more pleasant to hold your hands on.
>protip: Even with an iris, those are not for gaming
Got it.
>If you remove them from power imidiately, and
That's what I did. No luck. Service center said they have no idea what happened, since there were no signs of water damage. New mobo was too expensive at the time.
>Source?
Lenovo's own forums, user reviews and about half of the "professional" reviews I've seen.
>The X1 easily gets above 6 hours, even 8 is not an issue at all.
Sounds good, the 460s allegedly has around 5.
>>
>>55814228
>Skylake.
Does this work with linux now?
I got mine in spring, and I choose broadwell, since skylake was all kinds of buggy.
And I got the X1, since the T450s was virtually impossible to the with a fullHD screen, but I kinda regret it, thanks to the edge.
>>
I have the X1 only gen 2, will be upgrading probably gen 5 even though nothing wrong with this, would recommend in a heart beat and perfect for travel.
>>
>>55814278
Since 4.7 kernel, as far as I know.
Thanks for the info.
>>55814312
Gonna get carbon then. Thanks, everyone.
>>
>>55810316
Get a T460p, its way better than any of the laptops you mentioned
>>
>>55813599
You deserve it if you stick with a vendor provided OS install. It's always first order of business to format and reinstall or install another OS of choice. Also flashing the latest BIOS is wise, never know if it was flashed by DHS/NSA in transit.
>>
>>55810316
Buy a Thinkpad x220 or t420. Both are pretty reliable.
