Are Lenovo brand thinkpads any good? I know the old school ones

Is the E650 as everybody memes it is?
Why is it so hard to find a good laptop without spending hours shifting through shill articles and bullshit?

if you get a modern thinkpad make sure it is x, t or p series, those are only good ones, also if you are going to get one look into a T460p

my T420's are good. That is all I can speak of.

They're still great. The T and P (formerly known as W) series are fantastic. X series is going down the tubes, but it's not quite there yet. X1 Carbon is the beginning of the end I fear, soon X series will mean 'Totally Not MacBooks' and the T4_0s will be the new X.

E series is cheap plastic shit. Doesn't deserve the ThinkPad™ name.

The last good think pad was the T420

What in the holy hell are you complaining about, the X260 gets like 20+ hours of battery life and has a FHD IPS panel... Magnesium roll cage polycarbonate shell, milspec and god tier keyboard...

What's the difference between the T420 and T420P
and how is the touch screen feature, is it gimmicky or well implemented?

Could you give some more of your experiences with the X260, and 20+ hours of battery sounds like BS, no offense.

X260 is great also P50

Just read any review, you can sit and watch HD videos for 17 hours on an X260 with the 3 cell front and 6 cell back battery.

If you get the 9 cell 28++ slice in addition to that the battery life goes up to like 30 hours or some crazy shit. Its pretty much unrivaled as far as ultraportable workstation battery life goes.

I bought an e series thinkpad and for the price it was better than other laptops of the same though. Both specs and build quality wise.

If you can get an e series on the cheap and it's better than the other laptops of the same price go for it desu. Just don't expect the same build quality as the t and x series

I have an E560 (i5, R7 290, 1080p version). Most of it's great, runs well, battery is good, but the colour range is fucking atrocious. Like, 50% of sRGB atrocious. Facebook's banner looks teal.

I have a t460 from work, it's a very nice laptop, decently powerful but maybe more than you'll need. only complaint is the trackpad is a bit finicky at times

I have heard the screen is complete shit though, can you attest to this or what?

>>55890746
The only actual difference between a T or X series and other ones is that the T or X will last a fucking decade or more.

I still have a T60 somewhere.

But if you just want a "general work/business" laptop you can go for literally anything. Memepads are good, the 460 is good, but it may be overkill for the use you're planning.

Are the T series large?
I am looking for something skinny and portable, with a decently small screen.
any other brands to get?
I do have a special discount for Dell and Apple computers because my father works for a University....
thoughts?
