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these people didn't get with the times and are just content with eternally circlejerking outdated infographs and copypasta feeling smug at their groupthink purchase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.

>be op
>go on ebay
>search for thinkpads under $200
>buys a used 6-year old laptop for $150 without checking what's wrong with it that makes it valued $500 less than average used price
>finally arrives
>wtf it's broken
>never used a tracknipple in my life so when i use it the first time and don't get used to it immediately it's shit
>wtf the battery on this $150, nearly decade-old budget laptop is 1.5 hours when i turn it on the brightest setting and run chrome on the built-in windows 8 home edition
>throw into trashcan
>go to a more advanced and expensive laptop
>wow it's an improvement

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

try reading my post again

>garbage red button wtf ppl actually use this?
the trackpoint is glorius. pretty sure this post is bait
>fucking joke of battery life, lasts 1.5 hours
you read "We don't guarantee the charge duration on the battery" wtf do you think that means
refurbishers sell pads with shit batteries
>what the fuck Jow Forums got me again
yep
>throw into trashcan and go back to macbook pro
if you had a laptop already why would you purchase another one unless its one that you dont care about anyways
>amazing keyboard feel, amazing battery life, amazing trackpad functionality.
bait.
>fuck u give me my money back
no be more responsible

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.

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?

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.

i would :^)

you aren't exactly helping the cause either.. i take back the asshole and replace it with kindly idiot.

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.

Come on, this could have been a pretty successful troll post if not for that

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

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.

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.
