Why are Thinkpads so shit /g?

Come back after you've used a <T61

Fine. It's not for (You).
Go buy a HP craptop instead, faggot.

It's pretty good if you're poor. Buy a MacBook Pro if you have a job.

The salt must flow

2570p is better than x230 except for screen.

>>61258557
Actually, I'm not salty
I'm just saying that OP should use those so he can see what people like about ThinkPads

>>61258288
They used to be great but then Lenovo took over and quality went to shit.

>>61258288
>T430/T460
There is nothing good left in newer models, lenovo ruined them.
X201 and T60 are best laptops i have ever used though

>>61258288
You're joking right? There's a reason why thinkpads are the industry standard among IT professionals.

>inb4 muh macbook meme
No. Go to Stack Overflow. Look at the 2017 Developer Survey results. Fucking nobody programs on a macbook.

>Posts picture of a new-gen Thinkpad

You're right, OP. All Thinkpads past the XX20 series are cheap and shit.

>>61258682
Then what is that reason?

Nobody mentionned macbooks, why would an IT professionnal obviously working with linux or windows consider a Macbook?

>There's a reason why thinkpads are the industry standard among IT professionals.

Because of the Lenovo corporate warranty and proximity customer service deals.

Had nothing to do with the product itself which is objectively crap.

Corporations buy them in bulk at discount. Exceptional battery life that is unmatched by any other company currently. They weigh less than any other brand. They're extremely durable carbon fiber, they're spill proof, heat and cold resistant, even electrical resistant. They can be customized and pulled apart, all the components can be replaced for cheap and only a few models have anything soldered in.

>>61258756
No.

>>61258288
>T460
Completely agree with you get the T420.

>>Cheap ass plastic frame
My x201 with its magnesium body does not have this problem.
>>Screen has way too much flex
My x201 with its magnesium screen cover does not have this problem
>>Huge bezels
The better for keeping my screen from shattering if I accidentally drop it.
>>Clunky keyboard
My x201 with its non-island-style keys does not have this problem.
>>Worst touchpad I have ever used
My x201 with Trackpoint and a first-generation Thinkpad Touchpad does not have this problem.
>>Average battery life at best at equal specs
My x201 lasts a solid 8 hours of constant use on GNU/Linux and a 9v battery.
>>Even the "IPS" displays are average at best
My x201 with an AFFS Display does not have this problem.

>Have been working full time using a T430/T460...
>T430/T460
Found your problem, OP.

>Corporations buy them in bulk at discount.
Like pretty much any existing business laptop
>Exceptional battery life that is unmatched by any other company currently
That's completely false, comparing at equal specs
>They weigh less than any other brand
That's false, even Asus(kek) manages to make lighter laptops at equal specs.
>They're extremely durable carbon fiber
Not the 14" models
>They can be customized and pulled apart, all the components can be replaced for cheap and only a few models have anything soldered in.
Like pretty much any other business laptop.
