Lenovo markets the ThinkPad T series primarily to IT professionals and executives. That's always been their target market. It shouldn't come as any surprise that a lot of tech enthusiasts here use them, especially when refurbished aftermarket ThinkPads are durable, cheap, and have very good specs.

>>61029547

Shut up -- everyone

Have you ever used one?

>>61029596
No :(

A friend of mine has the Yoga.. it seems decent enough I guess, though it mostly just collects dust in his house.

I wasn't him, but you're still wrong. This is an imageboard, not a forum.

They're cheap. A lot of the anons here are poorfags that don't have jobs, so cheap is amazing.
They're also pretty decent performance, but mainly cheap.

ThinkPads used to be great business machines - powerful, durable and fairly cheap if you bought them used. Now they're just another consumer brand.

not to mention upgradable - you could easily replace hardware and it worked like a charm.

the cheap factor isnt the only argument
keyboards and galonix support is great for old thinkpads, replacement parts and upgrade are cheap and everywhere, good portability to
also nipple mouse is as good or better than a real nipple i'd imagine

Older thinkpads were made by engineers for other engineers and businesses, not by faggots for retards as most modern tech is.

Forum is an umbrella term with "imageboard" being one of the subcategories.

Old ThinkPads are a good deal for the price, most posters here are poor and have to choose between that or some shit from best buy that will fall apart in a year. The Loonix support is good too.

This is a no buy for me unless it has a VGA output.

For me personally, it's the ability to repair and modify. I have an eMachine now, but will be switching to a T420 just because of the spare parts I can get for dirt cheap.

This. Posting from the bus which will take me to the airplane, with my T420 nearby. This thing is a trooper, saved me in the field many times. Thanks /g/.

Not so much, more so screamed at each other with the mix of apple bashing & antisemitism

>>61029526
>exchanged

a bunch of assholes only wanting to accept their own perception as fact is somehow exchanging views?

Even /a/ is more accepting than this good forsaken board.
