Is the Thinkpad Edge fifty series possibly the most underrated

>>57662105
>keyboard and CPU
But those are essential. Also what about the display and build quality

>>57662105
theyre not real thinkpads, more like mislabeled ideapads

>>57662105
build quality is low compared to real thinkpads. They just took an ideapad and put a trackpoint on it basically.

>>57662109
I had an e545 here's what I can tell you:

The CPU was actually good for the price.

£250 got me a new laptop with decent build quality and an a8-8600p cpu which is a decent enough CPU for 99% of tasks

Screen was shit but if it has "thinkpad" in the name the screen is shit. Lenovo also can't into PWM so expect eye rapingly low PWM.

Keyboard was better than other laptops of the price but still a shitty keyboard.

They are not Thinkpads though. They are Ideapads that look like Thinkpads.

The deal break for me was it had major SQUEAL whenever the CPU did anything. 3/3 did this so I ended up getting my money back.

Could I recommend one? If you want a low priced and low powered laptop NEW yeah.

You are better off getting a second hand real thinkpad for less and forgetting about the edge series.

But they're half the price

>>57662163
and an eighth of the quality

The edge series is not even a thinkpad in my book

>>57662105
I've seen, so far, no evidence supporting the aforeclaimed superiority that /tpg/ says that the thinkpad product line supposedly has.

It is in my belief that thinkpads are immensely overrated.

>>57662220
what laptops have you used ?

>>57662165
nice meme

thinkpads are overrated by /g/ neckbeards

they're really not that special

>>57662163
Trust me, I own an E531 with an i5 and everything that has been said in this thread is true. If you really want one, go for it, but they are poor quality when compared to their namesake.

>Posts in a thread about rebranded Ideapads
>HURR DURR this means Thinkpads have no quality.
They may be a meme, but do some actual research on the meme first, instead of basing your opinion on what is essentially a cash in on that meme.

>>57662284
what laptops have you previously used?
Thinkpad X,P,T series are pretty based.
They are made of high quality materials, they are very servicable, have a huge aftermarket for parts and batteries even now and are all around have been developed for people who do actual work on their laptops and not 13yo fags or dumb people who use a laptop for everything. the keyboard is fantastic, the trackpoint is fantastic, they have killer features like the battery ec. i cant live without that thing especially when i used to be mobile

>>57662284
theyre probably the second or third most robust laptop line you can get

>>57662332
the only thing that even comes close is the macbook airs

>>57662339
the macbooks are far from the most robust laptops

>>57662331
toughbooks are better

>>57662399
how so
>>57662438
toughbooks looks like shit are bulky and have features i find useless

>>57662449
the current toughbook generation doesn't look to bad, and they are WAY closer to beeing the most robust laptops than your macbook toy

>>57662465
then go buy a toughbook and announce your autism wherever you use it

>>57662479
i don't have to buy one i have 5

>>57662449
you just described thinkpads lol
