Fell for the x230 one, fuck off.

Because I'd just buy a macbook if I wanted to be a pretentious hipster with more money than sense.

>>62063472
Because I already fell for the X1 meme and nupads are shit.

I swear, at some point I'm going to snap and will order an X62…

I fell for the t440p quadcore meme where I had to swap the trackpad requiring complete disassembly of the machine to change it to a T450 trackpad.

OP here, battery life is excellent on my t470, I get 14+ if all I'm doing is just web browsing and document editing. It's to the point where I don't take the charger with me when I leave the house.

I used the employee discount code, I got mine for $1,124.96 after tax. Although that also includes some useless upgrades
My configuration was
Fully upgraded battery
Fingerprint sensor
Backlit keyboard
1080p non-touch
Windows 10 Pro
the upgraded i5 processor (one below the i7)

Overall I'd say it was worth it even if it was a little expensive, that employee discount really took the price down though something like 33%?

>>62063990
Also I'm going to be using this for college which is why I'm saying I may have spent a little too much, I already have a desktop which I have built. I just really wanted the luxury of having a good, reliable laptop with an excellent battery life and trackpad. Most importantly battery life.

Hello friend. W500 here.

>>62063472
I was going to buy T470 or X1. But I decided to wait for the A475, which should come out this Christmas/New Year. I bought a used T430 to hold me over until then.

>>62064091
The keys feel amazing on this laptop, period. Clicket usually feels like shit but Lenovo did something with this laptop that just makes it feel so good.

>>62063472
Because I fell for the T460 meme and I couldn't be happier. Shit, I paid like 400€ for the laptop (I5-6300, 8GB and 512HDD, unused with the precint and all) and 80€ for a 256GB SSD. I have never been this happy with a laptop.

Also >>62064222 is right, the new keyboard is simply comfy as fuck. The typing never felt so good (and I was a fan of the T420 keyboard).

>>62064091
Do ThinkPads always have to lag several years behind other laptops to make it fair?

No, but the only reason to fall for the thinkpad meme is because they are available for cheap, are easily upgrade-able, and that the keyboards are god tier.

Might as well buy a clevo/sager for mech keys, display, customization, and comparative price.

I fell for the T450s meme and I'm loving it (mostly). The raised keys makes it really nice when typing and feels pretty comfy with the feedback when keys are pressed. Do the newer Thinkpads have raised keyboards?

>>62066577
Fucking baby

nice get though

Because if I'm going to spend money on a new laptop, it'll be a Sager. Sick of all the bullshit surrounding HP Dell and Lenovo. I have a T420 and working on it is a pain in the dick.

T410 here, the only real downside is <2hrs of battery life but since all I do is sit at home it doesn't bother me also 1080p60 youtube videos tend to stutter from time to time on the integrated intel gpu
got it for 130 euros so I'm pretty happy with it overall plus it's the first laptop I've seen with proper cooling that doesn't overheat and throttle doing anything more than web browsing

>>62063533

>>62063472

>>62069299
>Can't run shit anymore

Can't run what exactly? Rendering? Compiling?

Unless you're talking hardware level x265 decoding capability or proper AVX instructions, there is really nothing that won't be able to run on Sandy bridge era and on processors.

Older C2D machines are technically still capable, but lack in many areas. Power consumption and iGPU being the 2 major ones. I have an old HP with a single core AMD sempron. Still works, albeit very slowly. Could still be used as a daily shit posting machine if I really had to.

I got the cheap 1080p kaby lake acer on amazon for $335 on sale. Literally impossible to beat that value considering how easy the upgrade was for the ssd.

>>62069338
Link? That sounds like a steal even if it is Acer. $335 for a modern Intel CPU would last at least 2 years if taking care of it.

Find one that is actually cheaper then a clevo/sager for the same specs, and then it won't be a meme.

I'll upgrade when that time comes.

>>62070213
But cheap means expensive to you, so every computer then becomes a meme.

>>62063472
Because I own an XPS 13 and when my mother was considering a laptop I got her an X220 with a new 9 cell for about $175~ total.

There just isn't a point to any "modern" thinkpads.
The only excuse to buy one is if you're getting comp'd to get a new laptop for work, but in that case there are just better options.

>>62072475
Is the t420 the last good thinkpad?

>>62072508
don't know but hell of a lot comfier than the newest laptops.

>>62063472
Do some new Thinkpads still come with 1366×768?

really wish I could get a refurbished Thinkpad without that cancerous resolution. Replacing the screen myself is too hard, the most I've done is put the wificard thing and an SSD.

I fell for the X1 Yoghurt mene.

>>62067682
howd you get your popup off the screen?

>>62069349
fuck no. Consumer laptops are the worst build-quality wise. Refurbished business laptops, doesn't have to be a Thinkpad, are the best value. Except for the "business" laptops that are not actually business-grade, though I don't remmeber which series across Dell and Lenovo for example to avoid.

Specs don't matter on a laptop nowadays, even a 1st gen i3 is enough for most applications you need a laptop for as long as you drop an SSD in it. Heck a 2nd gen i3 on a desktop is still what I use at work, and it's good enough for the shit ton of crap I have open across 2 monitors.

>>62063472
Because thinkpads are fucking pieces of shit, they are overpriced and you cant even change its hardware due to whitelist bullshit.
Lattude is the actual master race, durable, cheap, and as customizable as a laptop can be.

>>62072646
This was true a few years ago, but now it's really not. Unless you plan to beat the shit out of your laptop on the regular, a consumer grade laptop will last you as long as a thinkpad would without new paste or some other part failure. And that's before you consider the 1080p > 720p, the far superior iGPU, and the battery life. I've never bought a refurb that had anything close to a perfect battery.

>>62072710
I have consumer laptop and business laptop bought on same years... sandy bridge laptop

the consumer already kaput 2 years ago and my business laptop still running 24/5 per week

>>62072710
I bought a new T530i (a weird model with an i3) with a 1080p screen for just under US$400 around 3 years ago. Definitely better than the Acer and Toshiba laptop between me and my mom a couple years prior to that around the same price.

I can't imagine that much has changed in just a couple years because proper cooling and build quality in general are always going to take a backseat with consumer laptops because the goal is to make the specs as pretty as possible. Even if you are careful with a laptop, it's going to take some wear and tear when you're commuting around with it.

Unless you're using a laptop more as a portable desktop, and you absolutely need some power for light gaming or other heavy usage, then a business-grade laptop is going to be better value. That's not to say I would not grudgingly pick a consumer laptop with a 1080p screen if the only choice for a business laptop is with a 1366x768 screen, but I'd certainly be willing to pay a premium just for the better build quality.

>>62072882
>I bought a new T530i
and now in 2017 you can upgrade the processor to a quad core i7 for extra performance

soldered processors were a mistake, fucking Jewtel kikes.

>no 7 row
No thank you.
I'll save my money for the retro.
Until then, I'll stick with my modded t430.

>>62072873
>>62072882
You can buy a new $350 consumer laptop every year and still come out ahead of buying a 1080p thinkpad. So yeah, unless you literally need the military build quality because of autism or missing limbs, I'd say there's no economic argument.

>>62067682
>46 C SSD

>>62073047
>So yeah, unless you literally need the military build quality because of autism or missing limbs, I'd say there's no economic argument.
you're still underestimating the abuse a laptop will have to go through when you're commuting with it like using it in a bus for example over a year. You're also underestimating what a manufacturer is going to skimp on just to have the highest specs for a price range.

i don't think buying a new business-grade laptop is worth it since it's as overpriced as a mac, but one on clearance or refurbished is going to be a great deal unless you really need to game on a laptop. There's just so much supply out there from companies updating their stock, it's easy to find a great deal just like how you could also probably snatch a decent work desktop out there for cheap or free and just pop a graphics card in. Coworker got an Intel Xeon for free and is planning to build a gaming desktop off it.

T440p or T450s or T460?

Any recommendations for a laptop that has a great screen, long battery life and no numpad? I've checked some Asus laptops and they can have all of those while also having a metal body. Metal body is awesome except that you can never get a larger battery afterwards. I wish someone made a laptop like T420 but with metal body, huge battery life and an IPS screen.

I did. I should be getting it in a few days.

>>62073456

it's always disturbed me how when someone makes a terrible purchase they go online to defend it and try to convince others to follow suit.


just own up, you overpaid for a glorified ultrabook which isn't slim or cool looking and has a TERRIBLE screen. do you really think people would judge you? most would applaud your honesty and recommend you just buy a chromebook which does the same thing for half the price.

>>62078245
Your mother is a terrible purchase, however I bet you aren't telling her customers the same thing about her. Hypocrite much?

>>62067682
Holy shit, those temps are WAY too high.

>>62072508
Depends whether you want to replace the keyboard or the CPU. Both T430 and T420 have the same socket, and can use the same keyboards. You have to flash a modded bios to get things to work either way.

There are also people who think X61 was the last good thinkpad, so there's that.

>>62063472
Last time I checked, the t470 was prohibitively expensive. That paired with the chiclet keyboard turns me away from anything past the t420. Hoping for the retro. I'm saving for that one. If it flops and turns out as shit, I'll just buy a used t430 and modify the keyboard.

>>62073311

Not him, but during the winter my laptop goes through some pretty heavy temperature fluctuations during my commute. Going from -5/15c to 10-20c etc. That can be pretty hard on electronics, but my think pad has been fine so far.
