>hell yea

>not if you buy from a refurbisher
>so?
>nope
because it's a solid laptop that you can trust to not fall apart on you with the computational power to do programmer things

cuck laptop

>not that thick and not that heavy even with a 9cell battery
>5 hours of battery life
>replaceable keyboards, new ones still available on ebay for $20 - $50
>caring about used when these thimgs outlast a shitload of modern laptops
>you bought a good laptop for $150(max) and care about the costs of an SSD despite it all being $300 cheaper than a new laptop

That's why.

I don't get why you'd buy a really old laptop over a new Chromebook. Chromebooks are thinner, get better battery life, and can have more modern ports (USB 3, type c), and even the cheapest ones have build quality at least on par with a used laptop. You can install linux distributions on most Chromebooks, so you can do all the ricing and shit you'd want to on linux. I guess an older laptop would be better if you needed Windows though.

Because it will still work fine when you bought your third replacement tablet/consumer laptop.

>5 hours
You sure? My non genuine Chinese 9cell does 6h of weeb cartoons and 10h while being left idle calibrating the battery, I guess it could do about 7 and a half with light usage.

CAN WE PUT AN END TO THIS FUCKING MEME? FUCKING BURY YOUR SHITPADS and buy an objectively superior macOS™ system -- the OS choice of the mentally unchallanged part of the population

I have a Dell Latitude E6320 I paid $50 for. Apparently the screen is on par with the T420 screen. I'm definitely not buying another laptop with that kind of screen.

What do you call an audiophile but for computer screens? That's what you are. If you want to pretend that this is a huge issue for you, go right ahead. FWIW, I got more value per pixel out of my $120 T410 than out of my last new laptop, a $700 Acer I bought in 2010 that lasted barely three years. Doesn't really matter how good your screen is when it stops working, ne?

What did he mean by this?

It weights more than modern ultrabook style laptops and only has a 12" compared to the usual 13-14". The weight is fucking terrible for 12".

As someone that buys everything from China and never used or cared about any kind of warranty, thanks I will.

I bought a X220 and I was fucking sad, it literally was a meme.

I returned the piece of shit the next fucking day. I am never trusting /g/ again.

>>58881872
3.4 lbs is embarrassingly heavy, and it's over 4 lbs with a 9 cell.

I meme about thinkpads because of their durability. My thinkpad cost me $80 TOTAL and it runs like a charm. Hell, I even beat it with a cane Tuesday for 5 minutes straight, still works.

I'm looking at an x230 for 100$ and was wondering if anyone can confirm whether or not it has an upgradeable processor.

T420 and X220

I bought a W520 and it's great

>good full HD screen, good colors and contrast even though it's not IPS

>8GB RAM out of the box

>powerful quadro and intel quadcore
>good cooling system, case doesn't get very warm even with high load

T420's aren't worth that much, but expect to pay that much for an X220. >>>/g/tpg has two buyers' guides for this shit.

Either you got scammed and you are too dumb to figure it out or you have a x210.

Bought a used x230 for 240€ with ssd/i5/4gb and it outperforms every new laptop in every field, except render time for heavy tasks, but if it is more than half a hour I have a desktop only for that.

The lulz was last night, a friend of mine had to record his 2015 MBP's screen to make a video for a webapp and everything was laggy as fuck, like 1FPS in certain moments thanks to its gorgeous Retina Display™. Didn't have switchresx so nothing to do.
Gave my TP to him, downscaled to 720p, ran OBS and Firefox and everything worked fine

>>58882669
i would be using it for travel. Not looking for anything gaming. just the basic web browsing, youtubing, occasional pron, just a beater laptop.

>>58882624
Don't do it, it's a garbage laptop. Slow as fuck, keys regularly pop off. Also the "solid state disk= fast" comment is moot when you have an absolute shitstain tier CPU.

I work in a school district that deployed these and I am constantly having to "fix" these pieces of trash because they're too slow. Good luck on that 8.5 hour estimated battery life too, lmao, keep dreaming you won't get over 5 at best.

>>58882898
alright. thanks for the info, ill look else where

>>58881471
>thick and heavy
My x230 is not that thick and is light.

>shit battery life
10h, tested, browsing the web.

>semen stained keyboards
I have a gf for that.

>have to spend
Spent 40€ in a SSD to complement the HDD it already came with, it wasn't essential for performance.

Salty?

>>58881471

I love my t420 even if i would prefer a x220 or x230.
