why do you keep posting pics of this uggo? she's disgusting.

What, if anything is wrong with the current Lenovo E series? I want to get the one with the 950m in it. I have the e550 version from a few years ago and it was fine.
Is there any reason to stay away from the current models? It would be a laptop to use at work. The current one is a bit old. I want the 950m for some light gaming during downtime

How can I install libreboot on my x200 without blowing up my mobo?

I got a t430s, should I upgrade?

>>61291173
Buy a raspi and load up a flashing software on it and control it externally via ssh.

Basically just unpack the firmware and pray that everything goes well, otherwise, your mobo is trashed.

last time I went to McD, my order was taken by a person whose gender I could not tell. It was one of the most WTF moments I've had in a while. It looked effeminate but also had no tits and hands/fingers looked feminine too. But face had some manly features. No adams apple either. Voice was kinda manly but I didn't talk to it for long to be sure.

future will be interesting as more and more of these creatures are born. I blame it on plastics leaking estrogen-like chemicals into water.

I asked this a couple of threads ago but received little response. I bought a t420 on amazon and when I try to swap out the hard drive and boot, it gives me a lack screen with an icon of a cylinder and a padlock on it. I'm assuming it's a hard drive lock, but I have all the passwords disabled in the bios. Mind you I can't even access the bios with the lcoked drive. Would pulling the cmos work? Thanks.

You can certainly try pulling the cmos, but I don't think it would work. Some mobos have pins you have to short with a jumper to unlock bios settings, not sure about the t420

It is a constant 5 to 10 fps stable, when it was originally around 60+ fps. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

>>61295082
X230's somewhat more locked down (Coreboot install is not a simple software flash from Windows) but at the same time has several great features that mean it'll drop off in usefulness much more slowly than an X220 (all versions have 2 USB 3.0 ports, 3rd Gen Core i's have a smaller process node (22nm) and are therefore a bit more power efficient and the standard 10-20% faster than the 2nd Gen equivalent, and they also get the HD4000 which is a huge boost not just in graphics power, but also API support (Supports DX11, OpenGL 4.0 which is the minimum level for many new graphical applications such as Marmoset Toolbag, as well as some games (MGSV for example.))

Anybody have a thinkpad T60? One of my co-workers has a couple in his garage he said he's willing to give me for like forty bucks and I'm wondering if it's worth it. No hard drives, batteries are probably fucked, but I'd be getting five of various qualities. If all else fails I could probably just salvage the four to fix one up completely. Not too concerned with things like processing power, ram I'd just upgrade myself, but the battery is kinda what worries me.

This is because the lithium needs to inform the smarts in the battery what it's discharged state is so your OS doesn't see 4 hours remaining up until the point that you have only two minutes left.

After the first run, the less and shallower you can cycle the battery, the better.

>>61305178
If I have already been using the battery for a while and hardware monitor reports it as having 10% decay is it worth trying that to make sure it is reporting correctly?

>>61305198
Probably not.
You've cycled it plenty so it can inference what should be.

That 10% decay is probably permanent. Just prevent your cell from deep cycling to prolong it's life. 10% isn't so bad but 20% is worse.

>>61305218
Considering I only received this battery a week ago 10% is bullshit. I am going to RMA this.

Also it was supposed to be 5200mAh but HWmonitor reports 4400mAh design capacity.

>>61303768
Dell XT2 rugged.
5GB RAM(still dual channel, surprisingly), tablet mode, durable, core 2 instead of pentium M.
Usually about 200~ USD

I'm looking at an x230, it seems to fit all these requirements. Do I have any other good options?

Well, you got a chink battery....

>>61305799
That seems good. Consider getting it with an extended battery and IPS display.

>>61305822
Doesn't mean they should advertise it as 5200mAh if it is only 4400mAh, other sellers did the right thing and advertised theirs as 4400mAh.
And the lenovo batteries are bogus. I could buy 4 chink batteries ($40 each) for the price of one lenovo one ($120).

i dropped my x201i and that yellow charger port got damaged. it has to stay in some position to get charged now. is it replaceable?

>>61306483

Yes.

>>61306483
Yep. It was designed to be replaceable and it's not too hard either. That yellow block just clips into the base and plugs into the system board.

I've done it on a T series, it may require more disassembly for an X-series but if you're not terrified of screwdrivers it's fine.

You have to take your motherboard out, but its a pretty easy task.

>>61306941
The mSATA slot is only going to be SATA II. IDK how big a difference that will make. I guess the important question is, will you need the extra storage space from the HDD?

How does the x220 handle SNES emulation?
Does having 8GB RAM help?

Should I buy new battery for my t420 on amazon (for example this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085MPGDG/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza) or Ebay? I have a bad experience with ebay btw, the seller was a total dick, and I was stupid enough to not open a dispute.

>>61307983
A 701C could do it. 8MB should be fine.

>>61308139
SNES emulation has become more accurate (and more resource intensive) in the past 10 years.

how can i tighten the screen hinges on my 430? they're not that loose but it gets annoying.

sorry, but how do i tell if my t61 14.1 is a widescreen or not? thanks

>>61291110

Should I get a T420 or a Latitude E6320? They're both about the same price, but the latitude comes with a bit more ram.

>>61309364
You can fix the BIOS shit with an SPI clip and Raspberry PI.

my t61's fan had become noisy so i replaced it with a new one, but thats become noisy also and not long after fitting it

i took off the keyboard and powered up and the fan was spinning pretty fast and making the noise still

is it just speed that makes the noise (i dont believe its that dirty yet)?

>>61309386
Thermal paste may need replacement.

>>61309386
Did you replace the thermal paste when installing the new one? Properly?

>>61309380
I know you can flash the bios, I was just scared off by this.

http://www.ja.axxs.net/buy.htm

But come to think about it a spi clip and a raspberry pi was about half the cost of the thinkpads.

>>61308792
pls respond

>>61309414
>>61309430
shit, will it just be wobbling or something, is that what the paste does?

Ah, I was hoping you already had a PI, lots of folks do.

It's the medium between the parts that get hot, and the parts that cool them off.

Either is fine, buy the one you think looks nicer. TrackPoint sucks on the Dell.

>>61309506
so it will stop it from spinning so fast/violently?

>>61309545
Maybe, only one way to find out. It's good practice to clean it out and repaste every few years anyway.

What's the best CPU option for a T470 if I plan to use it for research purposes, light gaming, and watching movies and anime while at uni?

>>61309750
No problem, that's what these threads are for.

>>61309797
If you intend to use it for many years to come, go with the best CPU and screen options, everything else can be easily upgraded later.

>>61309849
I'm getting the FHD IPS screen option, but I was worried about thermal throttling and overheating with the i7.

Hi! I'd prefer a 1920x1080 screen, but ya know, whatever works.

Purchase request template:
Budget: sub 400 if possible.
Location: Midwest
Size: Doesn't matter, would rather have an X series, but I'll have a T and I'm perfectly fine with a T series.
Performance: Good, prefer i7 but will do with a i5, 8 gb of ram, basic developing.
Other requirements: None

>>61309797
i5
On reddit, there are a few people complaining of throttling with their T470's with i7's

I have the 7200u and it doesn't throttle for me with games at all

Need a dev machine for uni.

Performance: Must run heavy IDEs and bloated javascript "apps" without problem. No gaming required.
Other requirements: no 1366x768, would prefer taller than 16:9
Flawless Linux support is a must (aside from useless gimmicks like fingerprint reader)

Looking to get an older ThinkPad that I can use a floppy drive with and run Windows 98 on. I'm hoping to spend less than $50. What are some good models to look at?

bought this "edge 13 power jack" from my local market's website. hopefully it is compatible.

>>61310617
Good luck, the older ones are collectible. You can pick up an A or R series with a floppy drive for a pittance.

What should i choose? thinkpad 420 or 430? In the thinkpad guide i saw that:

>Utilitarian design, stuff like indicator LEDs, great keyboard key layout (on X220, T420 models and earlier)

Does this means that the T430 lacks a good keyboard key layout? Are there other big differences? Or the T430 is the best version?

Ps: Sorry for my bad english.

>>61310919

T430 has a chiclet keyboard, but it's basically an "upgraded" T420. If you don't mind the keyboard, go for it.

>>61310908
Odds are good it will be. Let us know how it goes.

Decent condition X230 in Portuguese (not win ultimate so interface Lang can't be changed without upgrading windows) for $99. Take it?

>>61310918

Well, I want an X or T series. I'm not looking for a super old one; I'm just looking for something that can do the things that I stated without problems. Are 2000s models "collectible"?

>>61311162

They don't feel the same and the keys are spaced further apart.

Is this type of keyboard not confortable to programmers? If they are not then i think i will choose the T420.

No. Go with the T420.

>>61311155
T42 doesn't have a floppy. Do some research, man.

>>61311254
the keyboard feels the exact same, it's the layout that's "problematic"

>>61311463

I swear that I'm trying. I thought that since the T42 has a swapple optical drive that I could swap it with a floppy drive.

>>61311477

I previously found an IBM PS/2 L40 SX laptop sitting on a cart of stuff to be recycled. Hailing from 1991, this thing is a sort of proto-thinkpad, with its Trackpoint I being a PS/2 trackball/mouse hybrid that came with it. The keyboard is incredibly tactile for rubber domes, but the weight and NiCd batteries leave something to be desired.
