I don't understand why people can't just install google chrome if you don't care about privacy at all, why do you have to use it as your OS.

get a tablet instead, it'll do everything the chromebook can and you won't be given confused faces by your friends. imo the extra money you spend which goes to the keyboard and extra pieces of hardware is unnecessary, that money could have been better thrown at a nicer android tablet.

My torrents and warez take up far more than that. I scan downloads on Linux before using them in Windows VMs (there is no AutoCAD for Linux) which also take up space.

64GB is OK for a thumbdrive tho.

I wouldn't mind a pure Android notebook with GPS since I love larger screens than tablets and prefer keyboard and trackpad inputs for mobile work, but nobody gives a fuck about convergence now Ubuntu is out of the picture.

I need a laptop that I can comfortably use at home for streaming movies and browsing and watching some animu from my hdd. (I need it for uni too, but that is minor stuff)
The problem is that I can spend like 500 yuros max and don't want to get a used thinkpad that I have to work on myself since I am not very tech-savvy
would appreciate some recommendations

>citing some meme study from 11 years ago on operating systems

Homosexuals don't care about computers, nobody cares about computers or smartphones for identity other than people on this board. Linux users, these days have the higher majority of other *sexuals. Windows has the most fag users by far.

Besides macOS is still the best personal operating system, also faggots have taste. The only thing God gave them to cope I guess.

I'd trust a homosexual with design over an autist or a pajeet.

Okay /g/, what's the most cheapest modular laptop out there?
Also is t420 one of them?
By modular I mean easily Replaceable parts without going through any hefty gymnastics. The more Replaceable parts, the better

>CPU
>trackpad
>ram
>battery
>adapters like WiFi and Bluetooth adapters
>the whole motherboard (less likely)

The laptop should atleast be relevant enough by today's standards.

>my personal experiences were bad although everyone else's seem to be average or positive for the highest consumer satisfaction rated company ever, regardless, I will continue to make dozens of anti-Apple posts every day to raise awareness of my personal experiences and I'll use a tripcode on an anonymous forum, making sure everyone knows who I am and what I've experienced. I also do this all for free.

>posting the same 5-8 pictures cycling through them every thread

Is this what you cling on to? A tech company has problems in some of its products sometimes, wow. Can you name a company that's managed to stay forever flawless? No, you can't because you're a dumb sheltered fuck who's never tried much. Even the glorious IBM ThinkPads weren't immune from a plethora of problems, ranging from dying GPUs to overall build quality problems. Manufacturing problems and design issues exist for all companies. Nothing changed the fact that Apple generally make the best smartphones and laptops. This is why they've made a gargantuan amount of money. Money does not lie.

Stop being a clueless underage tripnigger.
