No idea, I don't pay attention. On some party (with many people from my course; I later left it for a better university because it was essentially java-pajeet course) one guy said that he thought of me as 'that guy with cool thinkpad'. People rather point out how often I carry my laptop around.

I see the look of cuckoldry in their eyes and laugh as they happily spend all their hard earned cuckbucks on overengineered shittops while they buy their overpriced diarrhea espresso garbage. But not I, I have my T420 with an aftermarket msata ssd with Gentoo perfectly configured for my hardware. My browser runs laps around their horseshit bloated normie garbage with toolbars taking up half the screen. The only reason I'm at starcucks is to do man in the middle attacks on normies all day to put their cuckbucks to good use by converting them to bitcoin so I can buy stolen thinkpads off the darknet and daisy chain them altogether to form the thinkmatrix which will let me ascend to my true form, Stallman420.

i once ranted to a normie at my college who was unfortunate enough to try to talk to me that thinkpads were the best looking laptop ever made and she said "they're okay i guess" so i showed her my rice and she seemed unimpressed

but she was the one who went to talk to me because she's considering cs major and i mentioned something about it in class

we had sex eventually but i had to start ignoring her because she fell in love with me

moral of the story if you show girls your thinkpad rice they fall in love with you

I have used the same thinkpad since my junior year of high school. It was relatively new back then, but it shows its age among a college campus full of macbooks. I get some ribbing about it from my classmates, but a few of them thought it looked cool and asked where they could buy one.

I bought one for my brother when he started college too. Got the job done, I guess. His wife browses /g/; she thinks its pretty cool that we both own thinkpads.

Normies don't care what brand of laptop your are using. People tha dot care are too autistic to say anything.

I think I'd get some looks if I went into Starbucks, sat down, and whipped out my T61 ThinkPad.

But in my engineering classes everyone has all different sorts of laptops. You see $50 Chromebooks, brand new MBPs, and Alienware laptops. No one really gives a fuck.

I vinyl wrapped my T61 in Carbon because I had some extra lying around and the lid of it was scratched to hell. Plus I think it helps it look newer and stick out less.

Mostly questions about the trackpoint or compliments/bantz about the stickers and patches.
Worst I went through was using it on the bus as highschoolers got on and this kid turns to his friend after seeing my thinkpad and changes the topic of conversation to 4chan and how he got a virus from it, so he never went back to it. I paid no mind and put my earbuds in. I could see him in the corner of my eye look over at me from time and time again.

Nothing. And even if they would think something about it, why would I care? It's a great laptop for me and does the job and I like it, it's not a fashion accessory for retards to show off and meant to look good to others.

Everything on this table is old tech.
Bringing Windows XP on a public WIFI is probably not a good idea either.

You'll probably get judge about your old tech and people will think your a poorfag because everyone in a Starbuck owns a iThing

Kek I made the mistake I was thinking R61 but I was looking at someone's post about a T61 while reading it.
They're essentially the same. The only real difference was the R61 was slightly thicker.

Literally a book light attached to your laptop. Congratulations.

Enjoy your 2720qm and "portable" computer. I'll enjoy my faster and not ridiculously huge T430.

T430, i7 3612qm, SSD, mSATA SSD, UltraBay SSD, 16gb DDR3.

T430 is big enough for work, small enough to take with you, and powerful enough to get shit done.

Probably think you're poor. One of my coworkers brought in one of those X1 Carbons, and they STILL looked very dated and cheaply made.

Build quality is much worse than a Macbook Pro or even a Surface or Vaio Z

When I was at my friend's place and pulled out my thinkpad to show him something, his sister was shocked on why I had it.

I explained to her that it's pretty durable so I'm not afraid of breaking it and it's easy to work with. All I needed to make it solid is put a SSD in it.

She still didn't understand why I had it, because it LOOKS old so it can't run well.

What kind of inbred normies are you people around?
I was using my T430 in an EE lab and friend's friend cracked a joke about about how I should stress my laptop with anything more than excel spreadsheets while I was running a simulation in xilinx
Popped open the device manager
Pointed at the eight threads of my 3630QM
Gave him a disappointed look
He uttered a silent "oh."

That's because laptop designs have shifted to using odd colors and with weird curvy design rather than the matte black soft touch with blocky shapes.
That doesn't change x1 carbon is milspec rated and made out of magnesium carbon fiber alloy
Also some of just really enjoyed the thinkpad designs it's not for everyone though
