Assuming this isn't a HiFi MP3 player. Is their any reason to buy one anymore? I mean for $20 instead of buying a chink mp3 player, a moto e with sd card support can be bought. Or a iPhone 4s for around $50 if you want a decent dac.

the last ugly generation of iPhone

practicality > aesthetics

These things get hot as fuck and very slow after a few years

I own a Thinkpad x131e mostly due to price, I know its not a t420. But essentially a 11" version of them. I really don't know if the x131e just sucks, but the track pad is horrendous, lenovo's software is buggy, whitelist for wifi cards and battery is 5 hours most.
I owned a MacBook Pro 13" 2011 before this and every laptop I owned after never compared in usability.
>>59797242
yeah that's normie mode
it detects how many times you access facebook/twitter/tumblr etc. and permanently downclocks the cpu because you "don't need all that power" and "it's probably time for a new one"
You can restore it to normal mode by growing a pair of testicles, cleaning out the fan, reapplying thermal paste and installing gentoo.
>>59797347
Is this true or subtle trolling? I need a new laptop
>>59796859
How the fuck is that ugly?
>>59797465
You should leave this board.
>>59797500
Explain

>have one for 6 years
>windows 10
>cpu is never above 40°C
you did it wrong.
>>59797490
That chink design
>>59798176
Nah that's gook design.
Chink design is way worse.

>>59797242
You need to clean the fan by taking the thing apart, and also apply new thermal paste
The service manual can be found easily on google and will explain how, you only need a screwdriver and thermal paste
<===
>>59799830
but they have comfort switches
>>59799830
you leave my portapros alone
>>59799996
Are you trying to say that porta is not ugly?
>>59800150
You leave them aloooone!
>>59800201
Ok.
>>59799603
I like this one, it looks like a prop from a film.

The precursor to it was even worse.
>>59801553
it's near impossible to find one of these with a top that isn't yellow
>>59799603
That's actually really pretty desu (except for the cf back) but I'm afraid to inquire about the price so I'll just leave it at that.
>>59799603
That design must've have been decided by a guy that likes to say things like "it looks like it's moving even when it's still".
>>59796859
What is this thing even?
The technological equivalent of the habsburg jaw.
>>59800252
But grados aren't in nearly the same price bracket, why compare them?
>>59801055
you are the one mad, you ok?
>>59797535
you're too stupid to be on /g/ - Technology
>>59797303
>track pad is horrendous
yeah, it's ass. use the trackpoint
>lenovo's software is buggy
agreed, but why would you have windows on such a machine
>battery is 5 hours most.
is that bad? boy I'm missing out
>>59801982
Grados are the ugliest consumer headphones you could possibly see.
This is of course ruling out absolutely niche shit like the AKG K1000 or anything Stax.
>>59797465
yes getting rid of windows, cleaning the fans and reapplying thermal paste all help
he is not trolling

It's literally a S4 slapped on the back of a compact camera.
Ugliest tech? Modern slab smartphones.
Apple or Android? Samsung or LG? Who gives a warm shit? It all looks and acts the same.
So dull and monotonous...especially considering Android has far more capability...at least on paper anyway.
Anyways all dull aluminum crud...not that youd even tell that much as we all armor them to protect the fragile pieces of shit.
Mind you we did used to have some modicum of variety...blackberry portrait keyboards and the far superior landscape sliders. Or the Sony Xperia play with a sliding gamepad (God we need another shot at this) or the 2 screen LG slider phone (pic related)
Yeah modern smartphones are the worst and most bland coockie cutter shit ever...and all of them catering to the lowest denominator of touchscreen simplicity despite being far more capable...
oh well parts cost money right? And slabs are cheap. And innovation also costs money.
Modern phones suck because of cheap ass manufacturers unwilling to take a risk.
>>59801553
Everything in there is pretty.

Everyone on /g/ uses /g/entoo remember to install that or gtfo
