fuck off with this gaymen bullshit or at least make it optional, iGPU is enough for the majority

The rest i agree, keeping the triple drive possibility and all.

>>61316318
If you don't like it, don't use it.
If you do decide to get into gayming or need to render something it's great to have a discrete GPU.

Also the screen should be 1920x1200, literally the perfect laptop resolution.

>>61314039
Should I get the dock for this?

>implying

>>61316456
1600x900 gives you eye cancer. Why the fuck would anyone buy this shitty laptop?

1920x1200 is alright, but why? Nowadays, any laptop runs anything (except games), so all that really matters is the display and keyboard and such. The cheapest rMBP has a 2560x1600 display, so I won't accept any lesser pixel density.

>>61316133
hello friends I ordered a refurbished t420 and it arrives in a few days , do I keep the windows 10 on it or apply pingu ?

>>61314039
I used to own a T420. It was nice, but it was "too much laptop" for me. There's a lot of shit I had no reason to upgrade, bunch of ports and slots I never ended up using more than one actual time, and I never cared for the sticky matte texture of the top lid.

I ended up selling it in favor of continuing to use my Macbook Pro as my main driver.

Don't hate. My laptop needs are different.

About to pull the trigger on a x220.

What am i in for? I'm putting a 500gb msata, and 250gb 2,5" ssd in there. I want to look into upgrading the panel but it seems ridiculously expensive compared to the rest.
I plan on running OpenBSD because i'm autistic and want to try new things.

>>61323088
Each and every panel used in X220 uses PWM at low frequency (140Hz) to dim the back- or rather edgelight.

>>61323105
>X220 uses PWM at low frequency
Does it produce noticeable flickering? And can you recommend a panel for upgrading?

>>61322161
T420 comes with a 900p panel too anon.

>>61323213
You might not 'notice' it directly, even when looking from side (scanning in CRT displays is easily noticable when not directly looking, but with a 'side eye'), but it might induce headache and burning sensation in eyes similar to one you get from eletric arc.

All panels combatible with X220 have the same PWM frequency and there is no which work with DC control.

>>61323555
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I still want one for the sexy keyboard, but i'll try using it for a bit before i throw more money at it.

>>61323587
Why not buy X60 instead? Or do you need those extra cpu cycles and slighty better battery time? They're cheaper too.
In fact, the panels used in X60 use low frequency PWM to dim the backlight too, but unlike for LED's, it is enough for CCFL backlight to display continious light (because they turn on and off much slower).

>>61320616
I had a bunch of stuff open in the other workspace.

>>61314039
because the resolution sucks, i barely use mine anymore

>>61323727
>X60
I would prefer a bit of extra speed of the x220, i've had one in my hands too and i liked everything about from the time i spent with it.
At any rate, i'm getting a refurb with 30 days free return policy, if it gives me trouble, maybe i'll take your advice and look at a X60 instead.

Is there any correlation between StinkPad users and people with Asperger's?

>>61314039

>>61316017

>>61324780
I like the keyboard, and the general look and feel of it. If i regret it i can always sell it again. It's a small expense to satisfy my tech lust on a hobby level, and could potential be a great replacement for my old laptop.

Since I got my laptop I barely use my desktop. With laptop I'm not anchored to a corner of my basement, I can comfortably shitpost and watch anime from anywhere in the house. I don't get any neck pains even after a couple of hours unless I'm sitting in a weird position, but that happend while using desktop as well.
