Any display upgrades for a X220T? I saw there was a FHD display for the laptop version, but there wasn't any info about the tablet version.

That's just the screen protector. It's immaculate and matte underneath.
How? Luck of the draw. Model numbers are 'nominal' on these listings insofar as it will be a compatible IPS but it can be one of a number variant panels.

Anyway. It turned out okay, I took my own advice and got sticky pads.

Only comments are that it sits quite deep in the bezel which triggers me a bit.

Other than that it seems like you can see the screen border more easily almost as if it's a fractionally smaller screen diameter. Could also be Ive never inspected my screen this close and so never noticed.

in this thread somewhere he said if there'll be demand, he'll do tablet versions as well. but he doesn't know yet how will the touchscreen behave with the mod

q: do you have any info on x220 and x220t lcd compatiblity? just 'cause i have an x220t with a broken digitizer and without a pen, I might just use the IPS screen in a broken screen x220 if the cables are compatible. then sell the remaining parts of the x220t.

Question regarding the previous thread.
Which laptop should I get in the 1500€ price range? xps15, t560, an elitebook or something else?
pls respond

>>59538511
Depends on what your use case is.

>>59538548
Programming, general use, gaming and watching shows, etc.
But I want a decent battery.

Are the X230 and X220 batteries compatible? Do I need to patch the BIOS? I'm asking because I already own three 9-cell X220 batteries and I'm looking at some X230Ts.

>>59537221
>now where can I find the best settings for the bios with maximum performance for him?

disable turbo mode
switch alpm mode from slumber to partial if you got a ssd
disable intel ME features
modify active trip points for the fan (probably won't work)
disable event log

look up for yourself why, I'm not gonna spoonfeed you paragraphs explaining basic bios settings and their consequences.

>>59538657
XPS 15 is fine. Good battery, can play some casual games, has fantastic screen. Yeah.

There are other similarly specced laptops (look into its competition if interested). It does what you want though.

>>59539068
I didn't mean that the battery has to last a long time while gaming. It will be plugged into electricity during that time anyway. I mean that the battery has to last long while doing other tasks.
>>59539182
Thanks senpai

>>59538991
I think x220 and x230 have the same battery but x230t has a completely different one.

>>59539226
>XPS
W550s has 2x the battery life

>>59539413
Not a good argument in and of itself because

If device A has a 4 hour battery life and device B has twice that at 8 hours then that 100% improvement is very significant.

However if device A has 10 hours for example, and device B has 20 hours then while B's life is phenomenal a 10 hour usage is more than enough for a lot of people and is still very good.

My point is the value of longer battery life does not scale linearly with the battery life. It drops off after a point.

Plus it's not an obvious improvement since there's trade off involved to obtain that.

>>59539413
>>59539525
I also can't find it anywhere to buy.

>>59539543
Nigga it's a popular device. This shouldn't be hard, try ebay.

>>59539525
>If device A has a 4 hour battery life and device B has twice that at 8 hours then that 100% improvement is very significant.

but thats exactly the case here, XPS gets around 5 while doing basic shit, and W550s around 10.

Is there a way to remove the WLAN card whitelist in the X240? I have a BusPirate if that matters. I only want to know if there's a modded bios ready to apply to the fucking mobo.

X230 vs t420?

>>59539574
I can't find a w550s where I live.
>>59539844
I'll be honest, I never found a need for a 4k screen, and I also don't have a need for a touchscreen, I just want a good laptop that will last 3-5 years.

Just came into possession of a r400

What would be some good upgrades? Going to start with the ram, can't be doing with 2gb

How much should I pay for a used X220 with i7-2620M and 8 GB RAM, but without a hard drive?

>>59540364
>4k screen
the W550s is a non-touchscreen 3K and objectively a better choice, it's not somebody else's fault you can't find it. what can you find over there?

>>59540564
160

>>59540488
Along with the RAM, CPU would also be pretty cheap, and of course you can't go too wrong with an SSD either.

The only thing that doesn't work is the microsd card reader, the docking station and vga port didn't at first but a simple patch solves that as mentioned in the tutorial.

Furthermore runs cooler than 7 and got slightly better battery life than what i had on 7.

>compared to a real mac
No idea i don't have a Mac but it's been rock solid like Win7 since i installed Sierra 10.12.1, getting updates from the app store and all.

Needless to say I'm sure the experience is still worse than a native Mac because plenty of things are designed with the touchpad on mind and you can't emulate that with this shitty touchpad, i only use the trackpoint anyway.

I have an i7 2640 t420 with a 32gb ssd for the OS (w10) + 500gb for data so I think this will be my main PC for months.

I'm the source. You want a pic of the PCBs inside the batts, where the fuses are located, and a few suppliers of knockoff replacements in China as the only sources because the US and Japanese suppliers of them won't talk to you?

>>59550086
How about firmware dumps, the hardware programmers, and the black-market RU-cracked vendor software needed to reset the battery controller once it has new cells?

You can't just cut the old cells out, solder in new ones and go.

1MB, 1334x1000px

so i think i finally hit the sweet spot with the BIOS splash image.

Lelnovo specifies that image should be less than 30kb /less than 640X480 and to be a GIF, a JPG or a BMP file.

now, i have naturally tried to use GIF because the format offers more flexibility to get the most sharp image within the 30kb limits, but thats no go, the bios destroys the image an just shows a garbled and corrupted graphics.

as for BMP, i have difficulties to made it to the 30kb limit so i discarded it for now.

that leave us with JPG, hitting the 30kb limit is no brainer playing with the quality slider, but i have noticed the BIOS reject images saved as "progressive" and/or "optimized".

also, the Save for Web dialog from the latest photoshop (which already set it as legacy) seems to save the pictures in a format the bios doesnt display correctly, had to save it t jpg using gimp.

the result is acceptable.

Is there any chance of my friend's L540 accepting a WiFi a/b/g card from my old T60?

Also, what's the ThinkPad situation like these days? Are the batteries whitelisted? What about chargers? WiFi cards? Memory?

>>59550529
I doubt it would fit, since wireless cards have been half-height for a long time now and the T60's is full height. Why would you even want to use it? It's an overheating piece of shit.

>>59540716
That honestly seems a little high, but I'm not sure how being in NZ affects prices. I'd replace the hard drive with an ssd, and maybe buy a new OEM battery depending on how the old one holds up

Anyone has experiences with the T440, especially the T440p?

There are terrible audible cracking noises at a mere touch. The whole chassis bends. You can feel it when you rest your hands on the palmrest. There's also quite a lot of bend in the keyboard. The hinges are a disaster. Last summer I worked for small repair shop for a few months. From all the Laptops I had to repair during that time I'd say 3/4 of the ones that had a hinge related problem were 40 series ThinkPads.

This is pretty arbitrary, just way the price outright.
Lenovo's Australian website offers such "deals" every day where they list a coupon you can "use" which applies automatically and just brings the price down to the point where it's only mildly expensive, despite the supposed thousand dollars in savings.

Sounds like some pretty solid specs though.

I'm new to the thinkpad meme.
I'd like the cheapest solution to a portable thinkpad that I can install ubuntu on for coding and internet browsing/videos.
What do you suggest /tpg/?
I'm buying through ebay since I know local sellers are selling them overpriced.

>>59556111
the X220 is the generally recommended model.
T420 if you feel the 12 inches to be too small
W series are nice but these are not really portable.

>>59556111
>cheapest solution
T60

>>59556135
Was looking at things cheaper than X/T220
>>59556149
Will the T61 be a better choice since it supports 8GB ram?

>>59555962
Thanks for answering that.

The terminology I was referring to was
joining to an active directory domain.

>>59556073
needs a bios reflash or a charging jack replacement, either way its a $25 fix at any repair shop for a $250+ machine

>>59556163
>Will the T61 be a better choice since it supports 8GB ram?

yeah but you said cheapest

>>59556111
X201

>>59556187
Tried charging/powering through the Docking station port. Too bad that didn't help either.

So I was thinking about buying this thinkpad x60 tablet laptop from a friend of mines.

It has a Intel core duo L2400 LV 1.66 ghz 2mb cache, 12.1 tft display with 1400x1050 resolution, 2gb ram, and 256 GB ssd crucial mx100. It also has libreboot running as the bios and it has Gentoo as the default OS but I could ask him to change that. It only has a few cosmetic marks on the lid and it doesn't come with the pen.

My friend wants around 225 bucks for it. Is it a good deal?

>>59556226
reflash the BIOS

>>59556231
>My friend wants around 225 bucks for it. Is it a good deal?

>>59556310
???

you mean, soldering a ivy bridge on a XX20 motherboard?

>>59556378
yeah, its not hard if you have the die and a reflow oven. never done it on a thinkpad but I reball PS3s all the time in a reflow oven I made with a audrino and an old toaster oven. and the die for the balls is standard.

Hey I've decided I want to get a docking station for my X230. Anything I should look out for on used ones?

>>59559442
Get the better model (4338 I think it's called) over the 4337. With this one you can hook up two external monitors (though it turns off the monitor of the X230). Otherwise you're stuck with one external monitor and the X230's small screen.

There is also an ever better version with USB 3.0

>>59559511
>>59559442
Totally forgot. This applies to the mini dock series. I don't know anything about the Ultrabase with the device tray.

>>59559442

Just curious about /tpg/'s opinion about flashing libreboot. So do you feel comfortable sending out your laptop to some rando on ebay to have it flashed with libreboot?

theres literally zero risks installing libreboot by yourself if you follow basic common sense, like...
DISCONNECT THE FUCKING BATTERY AND CHARGER FOR FUCKS SAKE!

if you fucked up the libreboot compilation or flash the wrong bios you can always return to vendor flash, its an external programmer. you dont need that the computer boots to fix shit.

Has anyone ever tried swapping a 13.3" screen onto an X220? I have a spare and kind of want to give it a go, except if it doesn't work out I'd need a whole new lid so it'd be good if I had someone else's work to go off of. It looks like it could fit if I grinded off all of the mount points for the screen as well as the edges of the casing and then glued it in.
I also have a heap of other screens which might fit better but all of them seem to use very slightly different 40-pin LVDS or 30-pin LVDS and I can't find any appropriate adapters online.

>>59566908
It's about $10 for a replacement and the swap should be simple enough though I've never tried it. At least once I'm done it should be running nice and cool.

Not sure if there was blank bezels for T420's, older thinkpads there were because they'd be in extended docks.

I think any 2.5" SSD will work for your T420, iirc 7mm drives were necessary on T430 and later.

As far as RAM, I think any PC3-12800s will be fine, I don't think it benefits from faster RAM.
Haven't had any issues yet, 16GB is fine.

Dunno if I'd get a W700ds again, W701ds yeah.

Some might say an X230 is a C grade X220

>>59555573
Literally get a W530 motherboard

>>59565282
Thats fucking neat

How does someone disable turbo boost?
My X220 is currently showing i5-2520M @ 4x 3.2GHz and can run very hot. In the CPU section in BIOS there are two settings that are both enabled. Which one will make my laptop run cooler at the cost of diminished performance. I'll also switch the Power of While on AC to Balanced. It's unclear what all of these actually do though. I mean specifics

>>59567150
>W701ds
Pretty rare as you know. Do you cover prices for both on your site?

>>59543007
It really does need to fucking die. I don't fucking understand this meme either. Why the fuck would anyone put such a shitty faggy Applel OS on a beautiful machine like a Thinkpad? Macfags GTFO REEEEEEEE

>>59567150
>big enter keyboard
Isn't this the normal size for the enter key? The UK enter is even bigger. What did you mean by this?

>>59567176
W700ds - $350 - 1200
W701ds - $350 - 1400
My top spec W700ds w/ dock sold for $970

>>59567202
meant big escape key, muh bad

How are those external graphic card docks for the express slot from /csg/ ?

$70 for me to use my old GTX460 on my x220 so I can play some games while I save up for gaming desktop sounds pretty good if it works.

>>59567210
>you can get lucky and get a W701DS for $350

My friend just gave me his thinkpad, never messed with one before. I tried using that red dot on the keyboard to move the cursor, but it immediately came off exposing a black square underneath it. I'm assuming I just need to get a replacement red dot? His is all ripped and shit.

>>59567595
Are you an ameriburger? I'm from yurop and activated an automated search for W701DS on what would be the "Austrian Craigslist".

Never even seen one being sold.

Yeah turbo boost really made my x220 super hot at load

>>59567676
Pics? Also, if it's that bad, I suggest getting a replacement.

>>59567676
No mate it's supposed to do that. The red dot is a color coded cover. Business machines like Thinkpads come packed with extra features and security measures like thumbprint readers. If it's not yet set to an admin, try pricking your finger and letting a drop of blood on that "black square". A prompt will come up to enable DNAID. Click "okay" and "accept" and welcome to power computing hombre.

Is this a good deal for turning into a Linux machine?

300 Canadian mapledollars

- Intel i5 2540M 2.60 GHz processor
- 16GB RAM (8 on board, 8 on user removable)
- Higher resolution screen model 14" (1600 x 900)
- Samsung Evo 850 128GB SSD drive, blazing fast
- Nvidia NVS 4200M dedicated graphics
- 55+ Wh extended battery (one that sticks out of the back)

Try $250 if its some guy selling it, not much you can do about some random laptop repair store selling it.

>>59567923
>higher res screen
it sucks
>nvidia graphics
eh by today's standards

Whats the going rate of the RAM and SSD

also wtf, are you buying the original x1? the soldiered ram and added ram is odd.
what fucking laptop are you getting. no info on it, just 'specs'
literally fuck those type of sellers. they are shit. fucking advertise an alienware gaming computer when its an Acer POS

>>59567356
>I missed out on a 2015 15" rMBP for $500 today
I've heard people getting deals like that for a grand, at $500 it's an absolute steal.

Craigslist?

What /tpg/ thinking about Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air? x230 or this macfake?

>>59568724
wished one but was a little bit expensive, $680 from china for the 2nd model.

I bought used thinkpad after that and didn't regret it

what linux driver should I use for my fingerprint scanner on linux? fprintd or thinkfinger? it's an x301. Preferably one with only open source drivers.

>>59565307
It's 3d printed. Printed one at my work place before, but it was a bit wide so I ended up just kept in somewhere with my other crap
>>59567107
Did you just find another 13" panel and slap onto it and it just works? I thought you need to do some bios whitelist or flashing.

>>59568955
I'm not aware of the X220 having much in the way of whitelists, that panel worked fine outright and I few others I tried worked too, though most of them were panels Lenovo stuff anyway.

>>59569048
LP133WH2
It's 1366x768 and TN, viewing angles are just your typical cheap TN quality as well, all it really has going for it for me is that I paid nearly nothing for it.

>>59567217
>How are those external graphic card docks for the express slot from /csg/ ?

the dock works at pcie X1 speeds

>>59563584
Come on, it's not that hard. I did it with the official manual on it and the only thing that gave me a bit of trouble was the VGA output

>>59538258
I'm considering that Yamaha mixer. How are the ASIO drivers? What kind of RTL do you get?

Do all X230 have a backlit keyboard?

>How does someone disable turbo boost?

CPU_BOOST_ON_AC=1 in TLP

or

max cpu 95% in windows: Change Plan Settings--Advanced Power Settings--Processor Power Management

or

in an unlocked bios disable 'Turbo Mode' under Advanced--Processor Configuration--Processor power Management

>>59569752
>CPU_BOOST_ON_AC=1 in TLP
fuck

i meant CPU_BOOST_ON_AC=0

>>59569609
No. I think the sign on the spacebar is where you can spot the difference.

I would triple boot, but 128gb too small and to be honest there's always going to be one system I will rarely use and will take space.

Off to buy a fucking 256gb SSD
