ded thread

Reposting from thread that was already on autosage.
Considering selling Early 2014 i5 macbook air, what business laptop can I get for $400 or less that won't be a downgrade. Battery life is very important, mba lasts nearly 9 hours.
>>
>>61359005
You should keep it desu, I don't think there's a significant upgrade for $400
>>
>>61359074
I guess I can hang on to it then. Is it easy to run GNU/Linux on a mac?
>>
>>61359186
Should be very easy
>>
>>61359186
but why
>>
>tfw your ips display has terrible burn in
You lied to me, got a x230 btw.
>>
>>61359186
yes, shpuld have no problems.

>tfw you fall in love with tripcode even though you're straight

wot

why are there 2 /tpg/ threads currently
>>
i want to get a x220 or x220.
I currently have a x200s. The size is right and the battery is about 7-8hrs with the 9cell i bought for it.
Currently only use laptops for web browsing and light vm's (windows labs for class)
are the i5's much better on battery than the core2's?
>>
>>61360970
because both OP's made the same thread with a 10 second difference and were both too stubborn to delete our own threads
t. OP of the other /tpg/
>>
>>61361037
Yes they're more power efficient. I don't know how you were using a lowly clocked c2d for windows vms comfortably. I would just go X230 seeing as how sandy bridge is 2011 era shit.

Ryzen APU Thinkpads when?
>>
I want to get a thinkpad for /libre/booting t400-500
where can I get one really cheap?
>>
How is the current Thinkpad e570?
I'm going to get it with the 940mx since I don't game that much and the 950 + i7 is an exta 350.
I've had the e550 and it's served me fairly well. Albeit a bit slow since i3 and igpu.
Is there any reason not to get the newer model?
>>
Any spot in Canada for a X220 ???
Otherwise any other cheap thinkpad that would be good to test and try various things to develop a linux distro ? (touchscreen and small size would be fun but not essential)
>>

>>61361592
Never. Maybe in an Edge pseudopad.
>>
>>61358984
Everyone should get a libreboot compatible thinkpad. You will need one in the future.
>>
>>61361931
literally anywhere that sells computers
>>
>>61363025
Is T420 libreboot compatible?
