Is the E585 shit?

So I get a Thinkpad x41 a while back, and I've been very satisfied with it for a while now. But since it's a bit older, I thought about replacing the HDD I got with it (~40GB) with maybe a SSD. Just to be on the safe side.

The problem is that I know not all disks are compatible with the X41, hence I thought about asking if anyone here knows or even can recommend some particular SSD (if neccesary HDD too) that work well?

disgusting

They aren't thick enough. A proper laptop is at least an inch thick.

Nice toothy blowjobs

How much was the SKU you wanted? Cheapest one with low tier CPU, garbage screen/disk is like $860.

i got a t42 for free
im sure it could type documents fine, but could it handle the internet, specifically youtube? unfortunately the gpu is the only thing i cant upgrade.

also the mobo is fucked so i cant test it, so i need to ask here

none of them. I was hoping for a ryzen pro 7 and a WQHD screen, and for it come out before back-to-school deals started.

I would be fine with FHD if the panel wasn't absolutely crap

Finally bought my first thinkpad, a T530. i7 quad core, 16GB of RAM, 500GB HDD (going to put an SSD in it), 9 cell battery for $265 USD shipped to Canada.

Did I do good?

did it come with the FHD screen, that's what matters

Yes yes, the yummy 1080p

not bad, i just hope you don't plan to commute with it though, it's a pain

installed Fedora on the X230t and i can't believe everything works out of the box.
Even stuff like the wacom digitizer works with pressure sensitivity too.

I do intend to, I'm not concerned. Brought my old 11 pound gaming laptop(Not including the charger) on a flight to the States, as well as a 5 pound laptop in the same bag. I should be able to handle the 6 or so pounds of the T530 without any issues

Thinking about pulling the trigger on the Thinkpad Helix, just need to know if it can keep open 20 tabs and libreOffice, anyone know if it can do that on the 1.8Ghz I5-3427U?

Any t440s owners care to share their opinion on the laptop? I'm thinking about getting one but I'm debating between it and a similarly specced Latitude.

So I'm thinking of buying a Macbook Pro, but do I want the 13" or the 15"? I don't know what all this processor stuff is, so I should get the most expensive one, because it just works.

Why? They're easy to replace.

I'm waiting on my T540 to arrive (i7 4810MQ, 4GB of RAM, 256GB SSD). I'll add another 2GB of RAM, and if it has anything less than FHD I'll just upgrade straight to the 3k display.

I have a t440p, which is similar but thiccer. It's nice, although definitely on the heavy side.

Guy that bought the T530 here. I'd be completely comfortable with the replacement, but it wouldn't be worth the cost. Here in Canada I'd be looking at over $120 for the new panel shipped to my door.

How's the FHD screen quality? I'd like something bright and sharp.

Is there a specific day/week/month/time that any anons would recommend scanning the Lenovo US Outlet site for refurbished, modern chink pads? Some of the deals on here seem to be way too good to be true, and obviously I'm sure they sell out quickly, but just wanted to get some recommendations.
Also, is there any particular model Jow Forums recommends for fags who want to use it for some light/moderate gaymen in addition to running simple production software for work?

They're very hard to libreboot, and they're about half as fast as a regular X200.
LED and CCFL make a big difference, especially with the X200T.
If you want a tablet just got for the X220T.
I'm an americuck until I leave. Gotta figure out how to take my precious memepads and a Talos II with me though

Wrong thread. Also don't buy Macs, they are shit

>taking the bait

T60, 1050p Screen with a decent CCFL, T7200, palmrest is taped together with duct tape since it utterly refuses to screw in.

Where do you guys buy your thinkpads?
Ebay? Cragislist?

Mine came with a HD+ (1600x900) TN screen that looked absolute dogshit. I bought a FHD IPS panel off Aliexpress and installed it myself. So I can't say anything about the quality of the official ones.

too expensive. i have a thinkpad 13 and i love it, but i also got a discount through my old job. with the specs i got it would've been around $800. i like the keyboard, but i've never used one of the older ones so i really have no comparison other than my old POS acer

Initially I jumped on it because of the high resolution screen but I kinda regret it as nothing other than static webpages and 720p video can actually benefit from it. I use my much nicer condition X61t in 768p more often.

What is the best ThinkPad that's compatible for Windows 10?
I need a laptop for work and it has to run Windows 10.

If the panel isn't from AUO, and the keyboard isn't from LiteOn, then you fucked up.

...anything?
even my 11yo thinkpad runs windows 10

Seriously? So Windows still bothers to make their updates work with old ass Intel CPUs?

In that case, what's the best bang got my buck ThinkPad that I can easily get from a reliable refurbished source?

I see, thanks for the input. I'll see if I can check out a screen in person because other than that the t440s is really appealing.

Yes, is my ThinkPad running 10.
Just read the OP and pick the cheapest one.

Just curious, which wifi card are you using in it? My T61 has a 4965AGN which isn't officially supported after 7, so it will bluescreen in W10 quite often.

I'm using a Dell DW1510 i had lying around because it supports 5ghz, works out of the box with W10.

Probably $70 or less desu. Then just buy the ssd seperately. Used ssd or harddrives is a bit sketchy.

What's the A275 like? Looking at a manufacturer refurb for $400 US.

I know it won't be as good as the Ryzen A285, but then again, that laptop won't have a removable battery and will have soldered RAM. A485 looks nice, but I prefer 12" form factor, and that laptop is probably going to be triple the price or more.

Too expensive is just about the only legitimate excuse for not getting one.

hp zbook 15 g2 or w541?

both are around $400. what do

What's the cheapest i7-8750H laptop that I can run Linux on?

The hp zbook listing seems like a more complete package, but I think it just depends on if you prefer using thinkpads or not.

What's supposed to be wrong with the T440s screen? Are people saying it's worse than other FHD IPS panels?

When I shopped for the screen for my T440p, it seemed there were 2 models of 14" eDP FHD IPS panel available that would work with it:
>An AUO one that everyone said was better, and costs more on its own
>An LG one that everyone said was worse, and is cheaper as a separate part
I think I saw something claiming Lenovo uses the two interchangeably.
I was careful to buy an AUO, but I bought from someone on Aliexpress who was apparently a scammer. I got a panel that says AUO on the sticker and works fine, but is apparently actually an LG panel -- explaining why his listing was cheaper than the other ones that guaranteed you would actually get an AUO. The panel itself looks beautiful displaying photos and video. It's maybe a little on the motion-blurry side, but neither model claimed a good pixel response time. It does have a slightly annoying quirk though: image retention when switching from a high contrast image to a low-contrast medium-gray shade. As expected, I couldn't find anyone complaining about this on the AUO panel, but once I found I had been duped, I found a few people mentioning it about the LG one.

Get an ide to msata adaptor and an msata ssd.

Personally I prefer the aesthetic of the thinkpads over the zbook, the elitebook were okay.

Don't bank on the smartcard reader as I've heard they're a bitch to get working

Will Lenovo ever release a thinkpad that doesn't have shitty screen?

X1C6 with HDR display or WQHD option on others are really good screens.

>So what exactly is wrong with newer models?
Jow Forums's poverty

>proper laptop is at least an inch thick.
Weirdest way to compensate I've ever heard.

Is 14 inch big enough for college? I'll be programming/working on it like 8 housr a day.

If you want to make the most out of it put a T43 motherboard in it, but honestly even that would be slow.

I'm considering a T480 with WQHD screen or a T580 with 4k screen but it appears that the 15 inch ThinkPads all have a fucking numpad.

On the bright side it has a genuine 9 cell battery that holds at least a 90 minute charge.

How long will it take until she regrets it? Place your bets, I say 6 months or less.

It's running a little warm. Was hitting 50-60 during updates. Seems to be idling around 40. Probably just needs new paste.

They look like black Macbook Pros.

IPS display on T60 is okay I think. But I'm not sure if I can judge it anymore after years of looking at shitty Thinkpad displays.

>trans woman
I always mix that up. If somebody is a trans woman does that mean that they are a man pretending to be a woman or a woman pretending to be a man? Now I suppose it's the former but I'll get it mixed up soon anyway.

What can I put into CardBus or ExpressCard/54 slots in T60? I tried searching for a (microSD) card reader but didn't find anything. I suppose I could look for a 3G modem. Are there any that don't stick out?

What happens when all old models of Thinkpads die?

One of my biggest fears in life. I just don't know.

excuse me?

things like x62 happen

He's right

>It's reporting anywhere from 7hrs to 11 hours battery life

I think I got really lucky

How is this a bad thing?

but in what way?

Looking for a new laptop 15.6 to 17.3, i'll use it for college (technical) so it needs to have dedicated gpu
i'd like it to have ssd+hdd, i need a minimum of 500GB
Budget 1000€ or 1200usd

I've been looking into acer aspires - is that the right way to go?

Look at the OP; do you see any mention of powerful graphical performance in the list of reasons to buy a Thinkpad?

I have 400$ to spend, i'm basically looking for the most performance for this price, upgradability would be great too. What model do you guys recommend?

T440p is the current king of price/performance.

Do you really not see the resemblance?

do you mean the minimalistic design that is implanted into many laptops in this current generation?
i don't think it's Apple's fault tbqh

Too bad we can't get one with a good keyboard
