Realistically how much is the Retro gonna cost?

>>60989258
Over 1500 dollars for the basic model

$1000USD

I really hope it won't cost more than $300

>>60989258
depends on the specs and the size of lenovos nose

i really hope the Retro will be a success and lenovo brings back good keyboards and changeable parts

I'm only gonna pay $200 at most
used

Hi Lenovo,

It doesn't matter what you charge, because most people here are going to buy it used 5 years after it comes out.

>>60989322
What kind of a shitputer do you think you can get new at $300? It'll most likely be $700-1000, so start saving up and stop buying more X220s, you don't need any more of those.

>>60989599
Tbh the chiclet keys on the nuboards are great, cause unlike ALL other chiclet boards the keys curve in, it's just the layout change that's ass

If it was the old 7 row layout but with the nukeys I would unironically be cool with it

>>60989714
I meant that starting btw, plus since they probably won't make another thinkpad retro in a while (or ever again) I hope you'll be able to spec it to ridiculous levels (32 gigs of RAM, some absurd screen, HQ processors, etc) and that will probably still sell like crazy.

>>60989340
This. I'm thinking that it could cost as much as an X1 or a P-series, maybe even more since it's a special edition laptop.

>>60989801

should be £6-700

Hahahahaha jesus christ, are you retarded?

Maybe 10 years from now when they are being resold. Although realistically, I think people are going to scoop them up quickly, because there is no saying when there is going to be another decent thinkpad.

>>60990431
I'd accept 16:10 but 4:3 FlexView would be otherworldly levels of comfy

Get a job, you could make $1000 mowing lawns for a month

>>60989422
X220/T420 are considerably old and new models considerably shit to warrant people actually buying a retro thinkpad new.

>>60992707
1000 usd is a hard month of work for most people, and thats assuming they get to eat and live for free. And finding lawns to mow is difficult for a lot of cities. And even then, to make a lot of money from requires a place with large lawns. Chances are, if you're living somewhere with lawns that large, you're likely in a rich area (or a middle of nowhere rural area.)

would prefer 16:10 over 4:3 but sounds good
hope it has thunderbolt 3

>>60993677

>1000 usd is a hard month of work for most people

You can never have too many computers.

if its less than 1100 I will likely get one as my first real laptop.

Is there a way to talk about thinkpads without you poorfags ruining everything?
Seriously spending less than $1000 on the machine you are going to use 5+ hours a day is just retarded.

Uh-huh

They'll probably run out before anyone even reviews them, and the only people autistic enough to buy them will never give them up.

>>60994824
But the fact is you can spend sub $300 on a machine and have it perfectly usable and serviceable despite being years old. Being more expensive doesn't translate to usability, it translates to consumerism.

dumb aquatic poster

considering it's a toy "collectors" product that enterprise is not going to touch I would say it's going to cost a good amount

It also won't have half the hardware support or aftermarket community like typical enterprise devices if it doesn't make a good impression on the market

>inb4 limited quantities, marketed as hobbyist limited edition
there goes one of the greatest aspects of the Thinkpad, the community that came to support the hardware

I have a bad feeling this model is going to quickly fade into obscurity because it's not going to be a standard enterprise deployment like all other shitpads

This is fake news guys. Go home.
