Hey /g/uys, looking to buy my first thinkpad. Will probably install arch on it. Budget is around $200. Will just be used for school, work, programming, nothing heavy. Any recommendations? was thinking about this:
https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-7417-TPU-ThinkPad-T400-Notebook/dp/B001EH8GOA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1481475016&sr=1-1&keywords=thinkpad+t400
>>
buy
t420 or x220
>>

X220 with an IPS display and a nice battery
OR
T430 (t420 if keyboard is important) - these have high dpi monitors but shit viewing angles and colors
>>
>>57950106
Did you read the buyers guide? If not, fuck off and read it before asking for purchasing advice.
>>
>>57950106
I think OPs should be able to autosage their threads.

To sum up my experience: T420 has the best keyboard, T430 has the USB 3.0 ports, X220 has a good reputation, and you check if the ThinkPads would be easily compatible with Libreboot, if you consider running Linux on it (but that's not a problem, Libreboot doesn't impact your Linux use). You need specific dual-core Intel processors to run Libreboot on a T400 series.

* you should check, my mistake
>>
>>57950148
I did read the buyers guide, yeah
>>
>>57950106
Jake, I suggest going with the t430 and putting Solus on it instead of Arch. Also upgrade to an SSD if you can and maybe add more RAM.

Go jerk off to budgie kevin

Do you guys think this is a good deal?

>>
buy a dell latitude, they are all good and the newer ones have better keyboards than the newer thinkpads

they are also cheaper and more durable than thinkpads
>>
>>57950287
The thing with used thinkpads is the condition they are in, if you get a beat up one it won't last. That beign said, if the one in your link is in good condition go for it.
>>
>>57950502
Have any recommendations then?
