Thinkpad Goodness

what does the /g/ thinkpad community think of the w530? i feel like i got a great machine

Add a classic keyboard and coreboot, it becomes best pad

it is a great machine. I use it every day. classic keyboard is optional, I have an x220 and honestly have no preference regarding the keyboards.

Whats the difference between the default and the classic kb?

>>61975861
Look at them, it's visible.

>>61976050
so its not an issue of membrane vs mechanical?

>>61976070
No, just chiclet vs actually nice keys.

>>61975406
I have been thinking about getting one of these to replace my x201 tablet that has served me well for many years.

>>61976088
The chiclet keys are fine because they still curve in
The 6-row instead of 7-row layout is the biggest different

>>61977673
I just really dislike chiclet.

Even he says the keys themselves are fine
His main complaint is the touch keys for the trackpoint, which aren't a problem for the W530 keyboard because it still has physical trackpoint buttons

Are you just poor and / or a massive pleb ?

The keys are a different shape, have less travel and the layout of the function keys messes with your muscle memory.
It's not a straight downgrade but a lot of people prefer the feel of the older keyboard.

lmfao

>>61975751
What's so good about Coreboot?

>>61979291
No botnet, faster boot times

I want to add a new thinkpad to my collection, max 16", 8gb of ram (or upgradeable) and with a graphics card powerful enough to run Guild Wars 2 "ok". I thought about the W series, since those have the quadro cards, but won't those have a ton of problems with the game?

>>61979325
Can I use an anime boot image like I can with the modified BIOS?

>>61978216
macbooks are the macbooks of laptops you fucking inbred

>>61975406
As a fellow W530 owner...

I can guarantee you're going to love it!
