Buys a 10 year old $150 laptop >omg why is this not like my $1500 laptop, battery lasts only 1.5 hours and the screen is shit omg omg omg fuck you 4 chan You can by a new battery for like 30 burgers. You can replace the screen with a better one >but then the laptop isn't 150 burgers, it's more If you have a fagbook, then you don't know what money is worth

you have to realize the advice parroted in this shithole is from 2009
these people didn't get with the times and are just content with eternally circlejerking outdated infographs and copypasta feeling smug at their groupthink purchase

I fix Chromebooks at work user. Which model do you have? Some of them are huge pieces of shit.

What is this blatant anti tp shilling? Why are those threads popping up now so much? I bought one of those 6 year old biests, battery life is stunning, 3rd gen i7 is still crazy good and the nipple improved my workflow by that much that i turned of the touchpad in the bios settings. Now fuck off you asshole

Jose Reyes
Yup the jack is separate to the motherboard, it's connected to it with a cable. You'll have to remove the keyboard and palmrest, and maybe the magnesium frame, then disconnect the jack, unscrew it and screw in a new one.

Tried but the screw are stuck

>fucking joke of battery life, lasts 1.5 hours You got lucky. Mine lasted 40 minutes. But the thing is, as every smart person knows, you've got to replace the battery with used TPs. Batteries age. So I bought a new one, and I can now work for 6 hours.
Matthew Nguyen
Where did you buy your battery? Did you get a real IBM/lenovo one? how much did you pay?
I got an x220 which has an original lenovo battery with 80% of its capacity left. Is it worth "upgrading" to a chink battery?
Sebastian Sanchez
Hearing stories of burning and exploding batteries, I wouldn't go cheap. (Guy in Hamburg actually got killed by an exploding battery.) I got mine from the same retailer that sold me my used T430, for 60 Euros I think. Btw. my Thinkpad came with a 1 year dealer warranty and money back in the first 14 days if not completely satisfied.
Logan Wilson
i would :^)
Brandon Bell
you aren't exactly helping the cause either.. i take back the asshole and replace it with kindly idiot.
Connor Nguyen
With that money, I'd rather buy a few drinks for all of these three girls and afterward have a ménage à quatre with them; a much better investment.

Jace Smith
anyone not yet enlighted by the tp experience would misunderstand your sarcastic op diss in one or the other way. Also, that op never actually bought a tp. It is blatant shilling
Ayden Collins
Did you install Linux on it? Or did you try to run botnet10?
I don't even know man. It's one of the acer models though.
Jace Nelson
can you not read the ">be op" part? it's like you're trying as hard as you can to be an idiot. yeah, the OP is bait, but i'd like to at least contribute an educational part to the bait.
