>>58417851
It never actually costs what they list the retail price as. They just put it there to say "look at the great deal you're getting!!" Look at the GPD win for instance, they listed 500 or so and it's selling for 350 everywhere

Then what's the incentive to back a project? If people know they're paying the same as retail, then a good number will just wait and see.

Give people a discount, and they're more inclined to back it. More backers, more money for the project.

I'm pretty happy with my Asus T100. Perfect for shitposting and watching anime in bed.

>>58417851
All I want is a GPD Win at a reasonable price with no fan. Even if it means less CPU power.

Or a decent Netbook at a reasonable price.
My minimum specs for an ultra portable is 1080p, 4gb, 64gb storage, micro SD, 4000mah battery, usb type c, atom x3 for 299

Ideally 1080p, 8gb of RAM, 64gb of storage, micro SD at last 128gb, 5000mah, usb type c and a full size type A port, atom x3 for 399.

>>58419491

>>58419576
Netbooks were okay with XP.
It was just that around that time websites were gradually becoming bigger and more resource intensive. The same thing with normal programs like Skype.

Price and design are fucked, then. The clit should be mid-keyboard. It should have been ARM, too.

It's literally better to make your own.

This, at 5" 1280x720 is the max I'd go, it's almost 300ppi. I use Windows XP on a 4.5" screen and it's at 264PPI, any higher and I'd need to set the font sizes to grandpa

>>58419594
I say that more from a "XP on netbooks" marked a watershed moment in their decline, it was the first nail in the coffin. Because at that point manufacturers had to try and build them to cope with that kind of workload (moving platter hard drives instead of flash storage is the best example).

I had an EEE PC 700, and an MSI Wind, the Wind with Debian on it was pretty good (and made an excellent seed box for a number of years), but the EEE was just pure comfy

>>58419666
It's five fucking inches? Yeah, this thing is overpriced. Smaller screens are a lot cheaper than they charge you for.

>>58419686
The GPD Win? Yeah, it's got a 5" HD screen.

>>58419576
this. I used to have a netbook with Windows 7 pre installed and it was... the worst. Just terrible beyond belief. But I put Ubuntu Netbook on it (that was a thing back then if you don't remember) and it became like 75% less shitty.

IM GOGLING THIS BUT GET NO RESULTS

>>58419683
>manufacturers had to try and build them to cope with that kind of workload
This is close to the point I think.

The main problem wasn't Windows, but what comes with Windows.
People installing iTunes. People installing Microsoft Office. People installing the MSN client. My cousin even tried to get me to install the Adobe suite on hers.
Non-free software can be fucking bloat and a half. And this shit is the whole reason people would want Windows in the first place.

But the same device using GNU/Linux could do roughly the same things but with much less.
You could probably run the whole Plasma desktop environment and Amarok in the memory it takes to run iTunes, for example.

>>58419781
Yeah, that was precisely what I meant by "XP on netbooks was a mistake", they took a near perfect combination of hardware and software for the job it needed to do (browse the internet (and some slightly more advanced stuff if you knew what you were doing)), and then figured they could use that same hardware to replace a laptop/desktop - which naturally it couldn't. So sales declined, Apple releases the iPad, normies leap all over that shit because "I just want something lightweight to browse the internet with" (ignoring the fact that that was what netbooks were for in the first place), sales decline further, and now no one builds a comfy version of a really excellent form factor.

I have a GPD Win and I will warn everyone interested in buying a GPD pocket: there will be many minor problems with it from my experiences with GPD products, even with newer revisions of the Win they still havent ironed out everything. Putting mine into sleep mode will either permanently keep it in sleep mode where you have to hard reboot the device or it will just turn off completely when you close the lid. And before I updated to beta gfx drivers, anything that utilized the gpu would crash 60 seconds later when opened, now they dont though. But stupid shit like that. Not one GPD win was perfectly built/stable

Netbooks were still not meant to be powerful.
By making them less powerful, you could make them lighter and last longer on batteries.

A well designed netbook would last for fucking ever and could just about fit in a pocket. It could also be reasonably cheap to make and by.
The problem was that many weren't well designed.

My sister had a netbook. Initially it ran Windows 7 Home edition with 2GB of RAM. It was abysmal. For one, Windows 7 actually has a memory bug which causes it to be very unstable with 2GB of RAM and for another: the computer also had around 1GHZ.

Later it was upgraded to have 4GB of RAM (which was its maximum) and later was upgraded to Windows 10. That was a mistake because it ran just as terribly with Windows 10.

I bought the netbook from my sister for 25$ and decided right then and there to see if I could possibly make it a usable machine. I installed Lubuntu 16.04 and it ran surprisingly better. It only uses less than 200MB of RAM on idle -- a lot better than on Windows 7 or 10.

lol, this is complete hyperbole, the build quality on the t460 is just fine, and it's a damn sight better than pretty much every other business class laptop available right now

they offer 1080p IPS panels for most of their professional series thinkpads so I don't know what you're on about, the screens aren't exactly any worse than the 720p resolution on the x220 and the 900p panels on the t420, and god help you if it was TN, because they were literally cancer to the eyes

Almost everything you say is generalized and subjective so it holds very little value while the general trend of decrease in build quality can not be denied by anyone that has used the line professionally for years.

All the panels they source are shit, even the """high end""" IPS ones. They're all eye cancer tier. Consumer devices like the surfacebook have better quality because they source from good manufacturers like Panasonic.

If you think that the **60 layout is fine then you have never used a proper layout or done work on a laptop that needed extensive keyboard use.

How deluded are you to act like thinkpads have ever been known for good panels? Your precious classic thinkpads have had terrible resolution and panels, so I don't get what you're trying to say here

The IPS on my x220 is awful, the TN screen before was even worse

>If you think that the **60 layout is fine then you have never used a proper layout or done work on a laptop that needed extensive keyboard use.

Actually use the product before you make such a broad and incorrect statement, the keyboard is perfectly fine and has a nice feel to it

the difference between your argument and mine is that I use both a T460 and an X220 and I can happily say i'd take the T460 over it any day. At this point I'm convinced the whole >not a real thinkpad!!!

Actually it's just your desperate attempt at rationalizing your garbage purchase. The current thinkpad line is such garbage that there was actually a community big enough to drive a huge multinational like Gookovo to consider making a """"""retro""""""" with standard quality features like the old laptops.

I never said the Thinkpad was perfect but it has continually regressed since after 2008.

Your use of false logic to support your shitty argument couldn't be any more transparent here. You're going to keep parroting that I never used a """"modern""""" Thinkpad (completely untrue) to make your argument because you have nothing valid to say about the current state of the brand.

Meanwhile it's a generally accepted opinion that the quality has gone to shit (see my support of this with the birth of the "retro" Thinkpad that attempts to unfuck the downhill slide since Lenovo's acquisition).

Also, there are more problems to the layout than "muh function keys" but since it appears you use the laptop to only shitpost it doesn't matter to you. The major fuckup of the layout was one of the biggest complaints by anyone that seriously uses the line. Obviously, I wouldn't expect a delusional like you to consider all this from a multiperspectival,. historical, or subjective manner since you consider your opinion to be an absolute truth

This proves you have never used a proper layout and don't use a keyboard for a wide set of functions. I suggest going back to redit since the only thing you know is how to pseudointellectually shitpost without having as single clue. Here's just a few things about the layout:

-the mentally retarded placement of page up and page down

-the ingenious prt scn placement
-delete above backspace
-home, end, insert shoveled to top right corner
-dedicated media control keys gone

It's pointless to keep feeding someone as clueless about the brand as you

They created a new product because lenovo correctly identified autists like you who harp on about the new laptops not being """"real""" thinkpad relentlessly, and thought they'd make a quick buck out of you. You're also acting like thinkpads have been abandoned by the "professional" community, and I can most assure you that they haven't, in fact, i'm sure most users happily use newer models, that's if you dared to look outside of your /g/ and /r/thinkpad hugbox for different opinions

>>58428975

It really isn't. It's garbage. Even back in 2011 many sites were too wide to show without horizontal scrolling. Just because you're okay with exceptionally horrible screens that have terrible resolutions doesn't mean they're good.
And yes, your screen is extremely shitty if you use a ThinkPad.

>>58428962
>ou're also acting like thinkpads have been abandoned by the "professional" community, and I can most assure you that they haven't, in fact, i'm sure most users happily use newer models,
they've been abandoned by many, including ironically IBM. Again, you're showing your vast knowledge regarding the subject

>They created a new product because lenovo correctly identified autists like you who harp on about the new laptops not being """"real""" thinkpad relentlessly,
Thanks for proving my adhominem point again.

So as long as there are problems that don't get in the way of you browsing facebook, it's ok right? Everything that doesn't apply to your limited usecase is autism. Closeminded and hypocritical are the first two words that come to mind here, ironically what you used to describe my valid points.

I'm not even going to dignify your reply about the layout. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about since you can not even notice the differences let alone see how they are unnecessary and get in the way of function. I'm done feeding you. You can mark is as an internet argument won on your tally

Why would you need media keys if you're on a work laptop? You realize >99% of the people using ThinkPads are actually doing REAL work, you know, mundane shit like spread sheets and Word documents. Lenovo caters to companies, not autistic fools like you who think ThinkPads are the best computers ever made, for some asinine reason.

Yes you idiot. ThinkPads are pervasive in office spaces when it comes to laptops. If you actually know ANYTHING about logistics you'd know a company is going to make a deal with another company. That means if they have Lenovo desktops they'll have Lenovo laptops.

>Seriously, just because you use a Shitpad for your garbage work that involves mindless typing and nothing else doesn't mean everyone has the same use case.
Are you really going to argue the majority of office work isn't mindless data manipulation? Again, Lenovo caters to businesses, not their employees wants and especially not your personal wants. That's why they have shit screens, shit plastic and are easily serviceable on the spot.

>That includes proper mute and volume keys that can be used easily and that were a standard feature forever
Clearly it doesn't if Lenovo is still the #1 PC manufacturer in the world, largely due to the fact they're in so many offices and schools around the world.

That's the entire point of referring to fortune 50, to understand the standards put into place for massive companies.

At random, the average office employee is more likely to work for a fortune 50 than any other company. Self explanatory I thought.

No shit. They also get treated favorably by other companies. Compare that to some regional company who doesn't have as much leverage in negotiating contracts.

Is there some statistic for that? Are you including autonomous subsidiaries which will have their own management and contracts?

Yet Lenovo is still the biggest manufacturer there is, and that isn't because of the consumer market.

I guess if you ignored the constant BSODs, slowness and other problems that would not allow you to use the OS before SP1, sure... there was absolutely nothing wrong with vista.

>>58429692
All of that was mostly due to driver issues, not the OS itself. Microsoft had pushed Vista to retail too fast and didn't give device manufacturers a chance to write new drivers. Ironically, many people who bashed Vista as the worst OS ever think Windows 7 is the best OS ever, despite Windows 7 basically being Vista with a new taskbar.
