The new x270 is ugly as sin. Is there any decent ultraportable

>>59817446
No trackpoint though

>>59817446
Shit that looks great, the keyboard even looks solid. If it had a nipple mouse it's what I'd buy in 3 years time when my x230 reaches EOL.

>>59817568
i too love having a trackpad that is so garbage i have to resort to using a fucking nub that keeps drifting when you release it

>>59817299

It's not ugly. It has many other problems, but aesthetics isn't one of them.

Couldn't you just get that fancy Japanese work laptop that /g/ obsesses over?

Wow, and it's only $2,500

>>59817568

Even better

>>59818135
Mine has coil whine. It's nowhere near as intolerable as some people claim.

Are there any 13 inch laptops for manlets with small hands that have decent quad cores?

Get with the times, grandpa. God, let the baby boomers die already.

>>59818227

If you really want LotsO'Cores, you're best waiting a few months until Ryzen hits laptops.

Why did they remove the lid latch???

i would love the x270 if it didn't apparently have overheating and battery life issues

What do you mean? It's the same than all previous thinkpads since '14. If you want something more sleek get a T470s

>>59821345
that happened after all the x30 ones, just like the thinklight.

There is official gnu/Linux support from Dell, a "developer edition" which comes with Ubuntu out of the box is sold as well

asus zenbooks are okay, the build is nice.

>>59821866
not only nice build, but relatively easy maintenance for such thin laptop

>lelnopevovo cucks will defend this

>>59821509
you mean x20 ones, right?
Thinklight was removed in x40

>>59821416
Reviews for the x260 were all about battery life, and how can a brick that thick with an ULV CPU inside overheat? My x230 barely turns the fan on and it has a 35w cpu

>>59822923
ULV CPUs are almost same as your 35W ivy bridge.
The difference is intel lies about TDP. ULV CPUs are indeed 15W, but in benchmarks it's close to your 35W CPU. How?
These CPUs just fully depend on turbo clocks. Producers of laptops don't give a shit about processor performance in turbo mode, because turbo isn't guaranteed by anyone, including jewtel.
So they pack cheaper, lighter heatsinks and fans inside.

>>59818213
It varies from computer to computer, also different people have different hearing.

>>59817299
>ugly as sin
>looks basically the same as "insert any thinkpad that's not older than ~3years"

>>59823112
Mmm I doubt the efficiency is the same as my ivy bridge

>>59821864
just because butnut comes preinstalled it does not mean the linux support is perfect... especislly in the power management

>>59820741

>>59819839
I have difficult (photogrammetry, rendering) workloads that I'd like to speed up and my laptop has the 8gb eGPU bug, so even though I have 16gb and it works fine, when I need it most it craps out.

>>59819993
I don't notice it on my X230 anymore, although it was obvious on my T43 and T60.

>My rectangular work machine box isnt pretty enough

kys

>>59824695
By and large it's the same, are you going to complain about the slight appearance differences all around? I miss the status LEDs from the X220 (and the smaller number from the X230) but I'm not losing my mind. It still looks essentially the same as the rectangular black utilitarian laptop that Thinkpads have been for a long time.

>>59822908
the x30's have it too, in addition to backlit keyboards.

I think only the elitebooks have it now.

>>59824772
But the old ones where much more utilitarian.

>Status LEDs
gone. and that "nice" red sleep LED in the i is not bright enough to see anything in a well lit environment
>clamshell
gone. I get way more dust and dirt inside when I transport it and it does not stay closed, unless I really stuff it into a way to crammed space but, since
>durable
is gone too, leads to having "clouds" inside the screen after a few months
Also, the new keyboard is shit.

Plebs this is the best laptop around

www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Latitude-13-7350-Convertible-Review.134079.0.html

13" 1080p ips
Detachable tablet
Pen active digitizer
Backlit keyboard
8 hour battery life
1300 passmark score on a 4.5w tdp fanless cooled cpu

And it's only $250 for one off eBay.

and then they have the cheek to say that macs are overpriced

heh

>>59822881
I work with old-ish Panasonic let's note (has a third gen Intel core i5). The Linux compatibility is shit tier.

I guess the dell xps13 is to this generation what thinkpads were when Intel core2duo were state of the art.

>>59817299
>2005+12
>buying thinkpads

>>59821864
There was no Linux fix for the meme content adaptive brightness (despite dell releasing one for windows)

Used to have a shitty wireless (check the gentoo wiki, you had to use another installation medium to install gentoo and it worked like 60% of the time)

Like another guy mentioned, power management.

Setting the sound is a pain in the ass (in Linux in general but especially in the xps13)

This is an aesthetic laptop that works with Linux but nowhere near what an ideal Linux machine would be.
