About to buy a laptop. Which thinkpad model do I buy?

>>59316687
Depends on your use-case.
Either way, >>>/g/tpg

Poorfag: T420
Wanting a cheap 15" machine: T520/T530
Actually wanting good specs and don't minding bulky PSUs: W520/W530

>>59316687
x60 or x200

T400 if you can still find one.

I don't care much for CPU power, but 16:10 is a must.

>>59316687
what are you using it for?

Alright. delete this. im about to buy a t430

anything after 200/400 series is absolute dogshit chink tier, you might as well get a regular consumer laptop at that point

>>59316728
>X60

1024*768 no

>>59316859
you can use 1400x1050 panels on it

>>59316739

Solid machine but prepare to be disappointed by the screen.

>>59316859
4:3 is superior though

What is a decent thinkpad for gaming such as CSGO, AoE2 and business/everyday computing?

>>59316687
x230/x220 if you don't mind the small screen

Was it the T430 where they cucked up the keyboard and made it look like an apple piece of shit chiclet dirt? I'd go for the T420 just for that. Performance gain isn't that galactic between the two.

thinkpad 13 should be able to do it

thinkpad x1 if you have more money

older thinkpads have too weak graphics for for csgo, unless you get one of those bulky workstations with discrete graphics

x230 or x230 tablet?

You already know.

>>59317540
But I play CSGO on my t420 every day anon.

I'm only nova 3 but I don't think better graphics would change that.

>>59318004
proof please

not him but i'm very sceptical because with the HD3000 csgo runs like shit on low settings (<50 unstable fps) and the nvs dGPU is barely better and a downgrade if you don't care about playing games

>>59318082
I use hd3000 on 720p and low texture etc settings. It's not glamorous but it works, over 60fps constant

>>59318103
bullshit

>>59316891
Show me where I can get one.

>>59318319
Not bullshit sir

>>59316687
x1

>>59316687
2013 X1 carbon

>>59316687
x220

and then you install gentoo

and then you kill yourself

X220 hands down. It's portable and unkillable.

Pape?

>>59318958
Will give if this is still active in a few hours

>>59318319
Completely true. My X220 would also play CS:GO admirably on lowest settings. My X230 will play it satisfactorily on medium/low with 2x AA.

you guys are like those normies who play at 24 fps and think its a great cinematic experience

>>59319090
Yeah I actually often play CSGO while live streaming the Joe Rogan experience on my second monitor. T420 is plenty capable

get aftermarket screen. not ips but way better specs. if you have the 900p screen, it's a 15 min drop-in swap. if you have the 768p, you also need to replace the cable with lenovo fru for 900p. that's it !

best 40$ investment for a T430/s.
