Why do you have a laptop from the 90s? Are you poor?

>>59523139
A dinosaur laptop for that price xd why don't you get an Asus or Apple?

>>59523153
macbooks are from the 90s too

>>59523139
>E
Did you not read /tpg/?
E-series are trash compared to 'real' Chinkpads. Still loads better than the cheapest plastic-Acer-trash you usually find though.

I want to buy the same one.
Is it good OP ?

>>59523139
> thinkpad E
Not good, it'll lack all those enterprise features an it's basically an Ideapad with trackpoint.

>>59523174
i dont know. i don't have it yet. i bought it online.

>>59523139
>thinkpad E570
looks like a carbon copy of ideapad G series. Can confirm bec it uses same design for usb/vga ports and etc.
keyboard is bad for general purpose programming, expect it to disintegrate after few years.

>>59523173
'real' chinkpads are only good because they have thicc plastic. this one does too.

>>59523351
No, it's because there's a solid community and a big choice of parts from Ali. Good luck finding all of that for Thinkpad E.

we're not allowed to get anything other than x or t op

>>59523139
>bought
its done, why come here now?

>>59524290
i always buy first, ask questions later

>>59523139

its better than your average market shit laptop but its still garbage

>>59524334
enjoy your 720p screen core 2 duo faggot. keep deluding yourself that it's better

>>59523985
underrated post

You could've bought a 2015 rmbp for that money.

>no excuse

I'll just quote it so you read it really carefully

>Not good, it'll lack all those enterprise features an it's basically an Ideapad with trackpoint.

>>59524434
yes there is. thinkpad has better build quality but more importantly has 7th gen intel

>>59524459
I agree that you're getting a newer processor, but you trade off too much IMO
>build quality
I think we can all agree that macbooks have superior build quality, especially the 2015 models, since they have a good keyboard as well.
So, if you buy the thinkpad, you get the superior processor.
If you buy the macbook you get a better screen, better trackpad, superior build, superior customer service, blazing fast ssd and a great battery.

It's a no brainer desu

>>59524516
not really since you can't buy them new at that price

If you're careful with them, Edge models can be alright - their main shortcoming is durability but they're otherwise reasonably comfy until you have to move it.

I personally would have gone with something like a W530 - you can get one for about $500AUD. The performance all round will be much better, save graphics - and even then the 950m is a fairly pitiful improvement given the 5 year difference in the age of the laptops. It would be a bit thicker and that's about it, but its a fucking 15" anyway.

Great laptop OP, no major issues from me after owning it for 4 months.

>Lenovo E570 15.6" Laptop: i7-7500U. 16GB DDR4, 256GB PCIe SSD, GTX 950M, Win 10 $509.40

What's the best laptop for 1400$?
And no, screw integrated graphics.

>>59524804
Damm. I own a E460, i5, HD520 and was a lot expensive.
I wish I had known.

>>59525668
2 cores is gr8 so long as its 7th gen intel with some nice cache

>>59524516
>superior build

aka they're gook plastic shit no better than Acer

>>59523139

I bought one at black friday in Canada for under 500$. It's worth the price I payed for but this is nothing like a real thinkpad (compated to T400, T430s, TP13, T520, etc).
The "E" series is more like the IdeaPad series consumer laptops with basic construction. There is no inner frame, just the plastic shell. This is probably the flimsiest ThinkPad I ever saw. The Keyboard is also pretty crappy, dull feeling. trackpad suck.

I would not recoment this laptop to anyone...

Should have used the discount on /TPG/

>>59524443
Features like what do you need as a consumer

For 600$ you could have got a t450 with decent screen.

>>59525868
But they have a trackpoint!
The keyboards are also on par with regular thinkpads, though I wouldn't be surprised if late models cheap out on them. Those two things, plus the colour scheme, are the only way in which Edge models resemble thinkpads.

>>59523139
that keyboard is so sexy, too bad it's a fat brick
