If youre new here then believe this: /g/ is consumerwhore general and things are only talked about in proportion with their cheapness, in terms of initial price. Obviously /g/s time is worthless so they dont care about the hours spent fixing shit.
JUST GET A MACBOOK AND iPHONE (or cheap android phone if youre poor) BUT I CANT STRESS ENOUGH THAT MACBOOKS ARE GOD TIER
If you bought anything Lenovo, you got a """ThinkPad""" not a ThinkPad, sadly

This. Macbook + Linux is simply the most patrician way. Thinkpads became irrelevant after IBM sold the brand.

Good thing ThinkPads come with an on site service warranty or next day air service for free huh.
I seriously hope you didn't buy one out of warranty, thats like the main reason to own a ThinkPad.

the keyboard worked initially and I got a le used le think le pad just like le /g/entoomen told me le to. I didnt realise back then that /g/ is literally consumerwhore general.
>ib4 "but applels gigahertz to teraflops ratio is 39 % below average for laptops within that price range!"
LMAO, nobody fucking cares. Its a marketing gimmick.

I almost fell for the le ebin tinkped maymay too, but then I came to my senses. Next time don't listen to /g/ and decide for yourself what's best. At least you saved 500$ compared to a macbook.
my company sold $40 T420 so I fell for it very cheap. installed hackintosh. works great, lel.
MacBooks also have a god tier trackpad
I use an early 2008 macbook with intel core duo and 4 gigs of ram, formatted the hdd and installed xubuntu, but dropped the xfce DE for an i3 WM, runs perfectly, 1181A Macs sell online for like 120 bucks.

If you buy used, anticipate replacing the keyboard, but yes you do have a point.
