What do you do on your thinkpads?

Learning to type with my toes.

Shitpost on /g/

I don't know OP. In a few hours I will find out if DHL ain't shit

>>59180382
Everything.

>>59180382
I own a latitude OP. And i use it for nearly everything. I only use my desktop to play my vidya

>>59180382
Helps train your fingers for extracurricular activities.

School work

I do video editing on my x240

muh jerb.

Rice Arch, learn Lua, Ruby with a side of python and Go and read /g/

love the keyboard.

>>59180382
I hackintosh it.

>>59181307
Same here.

shitpost on /g/ and play runescape.

what else would they be used for?

>>59180448
I can confirm DHL a shit.

>>59180382
I mostly use mine to use the internet to buy and sell more ThinkPads.

>>59180382

Buy them on eBay for $X.
Jerk on the keyboard.
Sell them on eBay for $X*1.1

>>59180382
Serious real work things

>>59180382
porn

Shitpost and mess around with ganoo plus loonix

I compute

>>59181762

same here, except i take the keyboard out, shoot a hot load, then i put it back in. to keep a reasonable smell i get a cheap air freshner and place it on the keyboard and keep it over night before i send it to the buyer. sometimes i'm not in the mood to jack off so i pee in a jar and i blow my nose in the same jar then i get a small paintbrush and paint the inside of the laptop and the backside of the dvd drive with my peesnot. sometimes i take out the trackpoint and place it under my balls and sit on it all day long.

thinkpads are fun.

>>59181975
I would pay extra for these services

watch anime
drawing
browsing
listening musik

same as desktop except game.
T420 best waifu

Everything. School work, hobbies, Internet, Chinese comics and cartoons.

>>59180382
It's the pc I carry around the campus and mostly everywhere, My x230 is so comfy and smol. I do photoshopping, writing, browsing, video editing and some light prog.

I bought a dock, so my X230 is now my go-everywhere computer. 13 hours of battery life, no need to plug and unplug peripherals, and it's reasonably compact.

I still have my XPS 13 that I use for number crunching in my research, but it having only 5 hours of battery life makes the X230 a better everyday computer.

I use it for DnD character sheets and handbooks. Also to watch stuff in bed.

>>59182096
My x220 gets about 12 with a minimal distro and an after-market battery.

Hey guise

Are the newer models as good as the meme series? I always liked the older thinkpads, but i'm wondering if i can justify the expense of getting a new one. Basically call me a poorfag and tell me to buy one.

>>59182269
buy a meme. the xx20s and xx30s are under $200 and work great as a daily driver.

>>59182313
Any specific models you can recommend?

>>59182399
I love my x230. It's powerful enough that it handles everything I throw at it (haven't tried gaming tho), yet it's old enough that it's cheap as fuck.

Everything, I don't have other laptops/desktops.

>>59182448

>>59182464
This.

I have a data cap at home

When I'm out and about I torrent the TV shows and stuff that I want to watch or listen to

I've got a 2560p, the elitebook equivalent to an x220. I installed UbuntuGNOME on an SSD and use this laptop to do my coursework in Office 2010 and Photoshop using WINE. It's the only computer i own and it's faster than every other PC I've used... ever.

>laptop only posters

KYS

I think

x220 is the perfect school companion. Right now i'm spending valuable lecture time shitposting on /g/, what would I do without it?

honestly tho it's great for longterm word processing and comfyness when i'm away from home. I'm more familiar with the built-in keyboard than my home tenkeyless cherry red board. I run Ubuntu on purpose so I can't play too many games at school, but when I had wondows my x220 could tackle most like 2006 era PC games like source engine games/etc. removing the battery and plugging in a monitor helps.

Are Thinkpads actually good or is it all a meme?

>>59181307
This is a good answer. T420 hackintosh is goat.

Nah, its the Thinkpad 13. Its really only a thinkpad by name, but I get like 10hr battery life and 1080p, so it makes a decent shitpost/youtube machine.

Look up reviews for better laptops.

Mine is my primary work computer (I work for a cybersec company). Debian Jessie + xfce (planning on upgrading to Stretch soon). Also my primary computer when I'm out and about. The thing is practically indestructible, works great with Linux, and I just replaced my DVD drive with a second SSD.

The display is kinda shit for colors so not really usable for /p/ stuff, but great for everyday use.

x220 here using gentoo + awesome. The powertop reported discharge rates with actually usable backlighting level are about 8-11W when browsing the net & shitposting on wlan, and about 10W when watching animu. With a new 94Wh 9-cell those translate to around 9-11h (I'm only getting 7-8h now with an older bat but that's still enough for a days use).

The biggest "trick" is to just make sure that background services don't unnecessarily wake up the cores taking them out of their low-power C states.
