if the t420 is the t420 of laptops
and the ak47 is the t420 of rifles
what is the t420 of other categories of goods?
If the t420 is the t420 of laptops

After much deliberation I think if you're not poor old thinkpads aren't worth it desu. Ryzen ones offer better performance, battery life, and exponentially better integrated graphics and hw video decoding.
Dylan Reed
its only like 37% faster according to userbenchmark
i got my t420 for £67
2700u ryzen thinkpad would be 10x expensive
yea, graphics would be better but your sacrificing the keyboard and socketed cpus
i guess if you got a high paying job it doesn't really matter
Connor Lewis
MDR-V6 is the T420 of headphones
15" Ryzen thinkpad with numpad fucking when? Proper thinkpad, not the fake e-series chinkshit.
> keyboard
I don't care about performance on a portable devices, only power efficiency, but I literally can't play any of my favourite games without numpad or proper top cluster on 8row keyboard.
Liam Clark
It's actually twice as fast while using less than half the power.
William Allen

This desu. I'm not of this freshman-tier generation of poor wankstas who shells out for "gaming laptops". I bought a $3000 Sager laptop a while back and it BSODs all the fucking time and its battery life is about 3 minutes. The PC I built 10 years ago is still competitive in performance and never BSODs on Windows. My gaming and data-intensive stuff is done on a proper full tower PC that I built myself. In a laptop, I just want battery rife, reliability, and self-serviceability if necessary.
Being that laptops are inherent, hard-to-maintanence garbage and expensive to boot, it makes sense to only get cheap ones. ThinkPads are not only cheap and reliable but the proper models are eminently self-serviceable. They even mark what screws correspond to what. When will we ever get such function-before-form, user-focused design again? I don't know, but, in the meantime, ThinkPads are still bae. And my piece of shit $280 X220 gets 10-12 hours of battery (extended battery with an extra cylinder) on the *buntus.
Nolan Kelly
can you recommend a 10-12" laptop with at least like 1024 vertical pixels. looking to replace my 1440x900 x200s
Jaxson Long
Btw, and that Sager can't even "game" properly; HotS stutters. There's hardware stutter. On this giant "gaming laptop" with a desktop 980 in-fucking-side of it, there's hardware stutter in a game. I can't even KVM muh controls to it and play HotS instead of dual booting because a top tier gaming laptop can barely run games.
Also, my X220 came from Saudi Arabia, and it had this yellow lint shit in the air vent which I think may actually be camel fur.

10-12 is too big. What are you doing. Have you learned nothing?

Kevin Nguyen
I would say the T420 is the AKM and the T410 is the original AK-47
Jack Morris
yea of course if you compare a dual core with a quadcore, the quadcore will be twice as fast
u can put in a quadcore i7 in the t420
Zachary Cox
Moto G1 is the T420 of Android Smartphones
James Robinson
>IF
Even then it results in half the poor battery life it already has and TDP/thermal throttling problems.
Nathan Thompson
the t420 of movies
Hunter Perry
>IF
Who the fuck even uses i5 in a mobile workstation? A year ago I was monitoring ebay for T420, M4600 and whatever their HP competitor was and pretty much all of them had i7.
Jason Hernandez
the nokia 515 has no wifi, no touchscreen, a metal body and a gorilla glass screen
Owen Morales
>T410
>no sata3
>no 16GB support
yeah... no
Parker Allen
dual cores not quad cores, what you fail to understand is the 35W TDP throttle on the thinkpad that wasn't designed for a 45W quad-core i7.
Carter Price
>the quadcore will be twice as fast
not in all tasks. the quadcore is lower frequency. the quadcore can even end up feeling more sluggish in general use.
William Price
Emacs is the T420 of editors.
James Cruz
F-91W is the T420 of watches

>t420
so it's old, thick, bad, hot and loud?
Returned one I got "refurbished" and made sure to damage it to give the seller the finger for selling me a piece of shit laptop
still got 100% of my money including shipping back
never listen to /tpg/
Jeremiah Allen
They're all refurbished. They're not made anymore. They're like functional antiques unironically better than new shit.
Ryan Perez
>better than new shit
I don't know, I've personally never used a laptop as bad as that thinkpad
Lincoln Reyes
Try anything Apple
And anything else because everyone mimicks Apple because normies outnumber TRUE GENTLEMEN even in CS classes
Tyler Moore
even the gentlesirs in my CS course agreed that thinkpads are shit
Only person i've met that liked it was some obnoxious openly gay guy who had the early 2000s alt rock aesthetic going in fucking 2017.
Robert Myers
>even the gentlesirs in my CS course agreed that thinkpads are shit
What you basically just said is that you and your friends are nu-age onions bois.
Thanks for reifying my statistics.

When did you realize nips have made a comeback in the PC market? If it wasn't for the shit touchpad and lack of trackpoint everyone would be tossing their chinkpads in the trash.
Christian Peterson
I never use the nip. It's hard to control. All it does is sit there and get in the way of pressing the B key. I've fantasized about ripping it the fuck out.
Trackpads are great as long as you put the fucking BUTTONS ON THE BOTTOM SO YOU CAN HIT THEM WITH YOUR THUMB. Which of course many ThinkPads don't.
Henry Powell
And now that I'm thinking about it they probably put them at the top so that nip users can easily access them with THEIR thumb.
It's people like you. I hope you die of slow bone cancer.

Thousands for shitty battery life and economically-scaling prebuilt hardware impossible to replace and guaranteed to take a shit in a few years
I hope you're financially ruined by ultimately futile cancer treatments friendo. :3

I get 10 hours of battery life and replaceable battery/SSD/RAM. Meanwhile macbook users eat shit.
