On friday, the W541 ThinkPad will be all mine... how can I keep

15,6" 1920 x 1080 (FHD) IPS
Intel Core i7-4910MQ 2.9 GHz
32 GB RAM
512 GB SSD + 1TB HDD
NVIDIA Quadro K2100M

>>57246982
install gentoo
i ain't joking, they won't even dare to touch it

No one wants to steal your 16" monster

Let it soak in holy water for 24 hours.

dat numpad doe

>>57247161
Good or bad thing?

Any legitimate advice on things to install to track it etc.? I'm a software developer, relatively new to /g/.

>>57247186
It's okay I spose', but it's only ever useful for number crunching and maybe as an extra set of hotkeys if Numlock is off

How long does /g/ reckon this will future proof me?

Also, someone is telling me NVIDIA Quadro K2100M is shit tier. Is this true?

Aw fuck. So 1438$ for
15,6" 1920 x 1080 (FHD) IPS
Intel Core i7-4910MQ 2.9 GHz
32 GB RAM
512 GB SSD + 1TB HDD
NVIDIA Quadro K2100M

Is a dealbreaker?

>>5724688

this shits on it for 200 less

Its way too heavy to steal

>>57247688
dealbreaker or no?

>>57247978

you would have a better gaming experience on a xbox. get a newer generation of processor and 10 series gpu.

>>57248018
I'm gonna use it for software development (VS2016), Maple 2016, GeoGebra, Excel, ChemSketch, and maybe some vanilla wow.

>>57248047

this is fuckin idiotic just get a $400 acer aspire with i3 7100u and use the integrated graphics.

>>57248087
But that's not future proof. I need the 32 gigabytes of RAM.

>>57248122
slot on the bottom takes 16 or maybe 32gb ddr4

>>57248122
You don't need 32GB of RAM.

you could get like a thinkpad carbon for that price or a brand new laptop with proper dedicated GPU or a desktop and a netbook

W*** are great laptops but what the fuck are you doing?

>thinkpad carbon
looks relatively meme-y and keep in mind I'm in scandinavia. Prices here are super-inflated, because shitty taxes.

A carbon meme-tier laptop costs 25k here which is 3667.57 dolares

>see that pure black sticker color sitting on top of the dull grey body color of the ThinkPad
>can't even fucking make ThinkPads in black anymore

GOD DAMMIT LENOVO WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

>>57246987
>IPS
Wouldn't be worth it without one. But the 5xx series are only good as a desktop alternative.

>>57248575
okay but do you definitely need a laptop?

>>57248575
Tak skaebne, det er jo dyrt.

>>57247009
>gentoo
install source mage
best source based distro

>>57246982
You went from niggerjew to chinkjew.

>>57248666
Yes, I do need a laptop - I study chemistry.

>>57248680
Det har du fuldstændig ret i - men kvalitet er dyrt i Skandinavien.

>>57248741
I don't understand you, elaborate. I'm perfectly white.

>>57248827
alright, in your place I'd get something with 16gb ram you really dont need 32 and the Quadro GPU is probably also unneeded and fairly old anyway.

Also something to consider is that these old-ish thinkpads ESPECIALLY the W's have abysmal battery life and are heavy as fuck.

>>57248880
Thanks for the advice - you say old - am I incorrect in assuming this laptop is from the previous year? I don't consider that old.

>>57247186
Make sure it can boot to either an FDE'd main partition or an unprotected bait one. Does it have GPS?

>>57248950
Woah, you sound like you know your shit. Mind explaining all these terms and I'll ask the seller to check before traveling 250 km to pick it up.

>>57246982
>implying anyone would want to steal that piece of shit

Throw it into the trash. Nobody wants to see that monstrosity.

>>57249285

jelly nigga

>>57249365
Sorry, I own a superior Dell Precision

>>57249535
>Dell
>Superior
>kys normie

Just buy the laptop, you obviously want it and it's not like it's a bad device. You can later write down the bad sides that you think are there and get the next one based on that list.

>>57250767
It's gpu is trash

>>57250767
thanks anon, I guess I'll do that. I am willing to terminate the purchase if someone comes with a really killer reason not to spend 527.97$ (because of insurance refund from a free laptop I had prior) on this computer.

>>57250917
Wow fag u said it was 1400. It's still kinda bad I mean I would legit get a Dell XPS 13 if Ur trying to get a overpriced laptop

>>57251120
sorry, but the insurance thing took too long to explain and I was tired.

thing is there is no cheap Dell XPS 13 for sale, and even if there was, it doesn't nearly match the ridiculous specs of the W541

>>57250347

>cucked keyboard
>cucked chassis
>single fan = shit cooling
>soldered gpu
>battery DRM
>whitelisted m.2 cards

kek

>>57251364
I think you're talking about the W450.
W451 was made to address shit chassis and shit keyboard, and rest of that is just meme arguments becasue you have a shit tier PC.

>>57246982
I fucking love "w/t/x*20 and below" thinkpads. but holy fuck the newer gen thinkpads are literally the ugliest laptops around. at this rate I'll be stuck on the 2500m processor for another decade.

>>57251453
Soldered GPU is really gore to me, not a meme argument at all.

>>57251453
If you did your research, the W541 uses the exact same chassis as the W540.

Sorry to break it to you, but Lenovo only got their shit together with the P50.
