In that condition, you did well. Drivers for the fingerprint scanner might not exist though anon, they don't for the 2560p
Slap some Ubuntu Gnome on that baby
>>59961061
install gentoo

I'm really starting to hate seeing this red pill shit everywhere nowadays. Too bad some memes and references seem to be immune from dying out here.

put KDE debian on it with encrypted partition and learn C/C++ glue it together with python 2.7

>Buying HP
Idk I still don't trust them, I bought a dv6000 years ago and it was one of the worse decisions I ever made. Using that laptop made me permanently switch to thinkpads
>>59961061
It's a beautifully made machine. Enjoy it.
>>59961061
macOS.
if anyone tells you to install anything else, tell them to deactivate. elitebooks and thinkpads have some of the best hackintosh communities surrounding them.

openSUSE Leap 42.2 with KDE

Disgusting of absolute proportion.

Their elitebooks were built to the same standard as their enterprise gear. They hold up really well

>comparing a dv series to an elitebook
lmao get a load of this retard

If a company can feel comfortable putting their name/logo on such a piece of shit how am I to trust their "business" line. Not even lenovo puts out garbage like that on their consumer line.

Nice, I just bought an 8470p yesterday
Really stoked about that 1600x900 screen, I love the one on my T420
>>59963822
What aspect ratio is that? I thought 1440x900 was 16:10
>>59963945
16:9 anon. Come on
>>59963822
The glass trackpad on these is so much better than the shitty plastic sticker on my T430. I'm jelly anon
>>59961084
Because the scanner is not installed in your one.

I got a couple of old 2540p's I think for 90 bucks each a while ago, with old i5's in them/4gb and that shit is amazing. It had heating issues but I just gave it the succ and blow with a blower and out came a puff of shit, normal temps ever since.
They're great. No problems at all.

rubbing glass feels weird on a trackpad.
