You shilled it yesterday buddy


>tfw would get one anyway If I could afford it.

Seems enticing in the sense that it gives me a bit of nostalgia, but it's a complete waste of money in practice. I'd rather put that $800 toward a Macbook. Thinkpads are a shitty meme and should stay where they are—$250 junkers you buy on eBay if you're too poor for a better computer.

so you have to upgrade the mobo to upgrade the display dont you?

In either case why do you need to "speed up" a laptop you're going to use for media and social and maybe documents. It's literally already fast enough for all those things. I understand an upgraded display, but you are a fucking sheep if you can be convinced to spend 780 for a marginal performance gain ((((actually for your screenfetch/e-peen))))

>Macbook
here's why every apple user is a fucking retard:
>sees apple ads in TV about how user friendly macs are ("computers for the rest of us", aka for idiots)
>friends recommend apple products because they are apple uses themselves
>"minimalistic" design appeals to the retard, he can't predict that the materials used are designed to be so flimsy to break, also ignores how other products are more ergonomic to use since those aren't just slabs of aluminium
>compares $2000 applel product to the only other laptops he's ever used: $300 walmart trash and is amazed how ""premium"" apple is
>begins to use mac OS and since it's a bit more user friendly he believes it's the greatest thing ever
>now stuck in the apple ecosystem, has to buy a new model every 3 years because some of the hardware broke (planned obsolescence)
>likely a dumb poorfag so he has to take a loan just to buy the fucking computers
>even recommends apple to friends and tries to justify his position with unrealistic claims ("muh special functions only apple has", "I have a higher status in society if people see my computer", "it just werks", "muh special application NEEDS mac OS")

>worst of all, he doesn't even notice how much he has been cucked


tl;dr macfags are fucking retarded

I just looked that up and the it appears to be a HV121P01-100

It's got 60% sRGB, ghosting, 6 bit, 1st gen ips.

You have to be a fucking moron to pay $1000 for a piece of turd like that.

As much as I would love something like this, I've heard some issues from forum posts. Things like constant fan usage, poor sound quality, some other things that I can't remember that turned me off. For now I'm going to wait for some official Lenovo retro thinkpad release rather than get a janked together chinese laptop.

Wow, that's actually what it is. Sad.

The T70 sounds like the perfect thinkpad and will be better than what the Lenovo Retro could ever be.

>>59134294
i cant go to theaters anymore i have nobody to go with

Do they do this for the X60? I like it a lot better than the X61 (got both from my office, they wrote them off recently along with a bunch of other computers, said I could keep them if I scrubed the fuck out of the hard drives) I really liked the rotating screen, but the graphics in the x60 were a generation older than the 61...

>>59134799
X60 and X61 have identical chassis.

I would love to do some FHD mod on my x220 but that must be so fucking hard.

>>59133661
anyone know if I can get a t430s motherboard and put it into the t420s housing?

>>59133933
Hey, remember, the X6x series were made by IBM, not lenovo. They were real well made machines back then. I don't want to be the guy who says they don't make them like they used to, but they don't make them like they used to. The worst thing that ever happened to thinkpads was having control transferred to lenovo instead of IBM

>>59134844
no they dont. At least not for the tablet. my fingerprint reader is on my monitor, and it swivels. The x61 doesnt do that.

Does anyone know about the battery life on these things? That's honestly my biggest gripe with the old thinkpads.

If you lower the wattage of the CPU, the batter should last proportionally longer, no?

>>59133863
>It's got 60% sRGB, ghosting, 6 bit, 1st gen ips.
60% SRGB is accurte, but you should get a Nichia LED upgrade for the backlight that gets it out to 90%. There's no ghosting, it's 8 bit practical.

>>59135043
>no they dont. At least not for the tablet. my fingerprint reader is on my monitor, and it swivels. The x61 doesnt do that.
The X60 and X61 are identical chassis. The X60T and X61T also have identical chassis. The tablet is not the same as the non-tablet. Fingerprint scanner was an _option_ on all models.

reminder that these work great in the X62:

This
Clearly showing that this is more a moneygrab than a "niche-filler"
You can get a laptop with a better spec on EVERY component for the same price
That's not what the used thinkpad is about

You're literally paying for a design at this point (at an insane rate). You neckbeards are so fucking dumb its hilarious.

>>59133830

>talking shit about your 'friend' on 4chan

You don't have any friends. There's toxic normies on both ends. Your 'friend' probably posts stories about you on the internet about how you're a poor fat neckbeard who uses a $120 JizzPad and Arch for the screenshots.

>>59133959
They were going for battery life and low cost, go read the threads.
Personally, I want the bigger processor too.
The first batches used higher wattage options, so that suggests the firmware can still handle it. I wonder what the biggest i7 I can reball onto the thing would be....

>>59135015
IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo in 2005. The X60 wasn't released until 2006.

>>59136259
X60 was the last fully IBM-designed model. Lenovo had already been manufacturing ThinkPads for IBM well before that.

>>59136308
I remember when my dad brought home his first thinkpad with the Lenovo badge
Holy shit that felt like trash. Even as a 10 year old kid I could tell that Lenovo was just another cheap laptop brand and nothing like the dozen thinkpads before it

so how are they doing this? are they modifying x60 motherboards or are they making their own or what?

>>59136424
they designed a new motherboard that fits in the X60/X61 chassis.

>>59136424
>>59136464
(and uses the existing peripherals, screens, batteries, keyboards, etc)

>>59136308
I don't understand what you mean by this. What exactly changed after the X60? IBM sold out a year before the X60's release, so surely a large part of its design was done after that. But if you're talking about the machines still being designed by the same people in the US, then as far as I know that didn't end after the X60.
