Why is Jow Forums so in love with thinkfags when the HP 8440w was the greatest laptop ever made?

I never understood the appeal of buying a gigantic blocky chinkpad. Why not buy yourself a small, mobile, well designed laptop that both looks good and is useful?

Because a 60 dollar c2d laptop functions fine enough for partaking in the various hobbies you can find on Jow Forums

good-luck going with a watercooled setup with HP junk

people here that want a "portable" computer want business grade durability, not daddy's money college notebook

Both of these

I own 5 eliteshits and a ton more memepads
the good
>no whitelist on wif-card, you can run linux-libre or openbsd on them no prob
>chicklet keyboard is much more pleasant than the lenovo ones but worse than the old memepads
>easy remove backs are amazing for repasting and cleaning, I cant find the securing screw on ebay though
>caddies are available on ebay for having a storage drive
>even the 12" take all HDD sizes
>nice design if you like 2008-2014 apple
>glass trackpads
>tn panels are slightly better than thinkpad tns
>usually no headphone hiss
>very strong hinges
the bad:
>12" use torx screws what the fuck
>shit keyboard layout
>no msata ssd support even though there's an empty slot for it
>caddies need a special door because the universal ones wont fit
>batteries and parts are harder to find
>you cant adjust trackpoint speed under x, but it's possible to scroll with the the right trackpoint button so only having 2 isn't that big an issue
>thinklight equivalent is pathetic
>no hardware wifi switch, only a button
>even though upgrades and repastes are easy tearing them down is fucking hard
>trackpad wont shine up over time but the offwhite rubber buttons will yellow and look disgusting eventually.
>generally dim screens

That's all fine and dandy, but pop and coffee don't exactly completely drain out, it leaves a sticky residue due to the sugar content.

so what just spray it down with a hose and some dishsoap

Because only thinkpads can run libreboot, and the pic related cannot -- and without libreboot, you do not belong on Jow Forums.

The HP is clearly superior.

8 years ago my i dropped my 8440p on school floor. the fucking tiles cracked im talking about huge 120cm tiles, although my hdd died

yup I was having an autism meltdown once and holding mine by the screen and slamming the body against the door frame of my room and it was fine

8540w has three buttons and a clit mouse as well.

Numberpads dont belong on laptops

>But where is the clit mouse

Someone complained here about insanely dim and shitty screens on those.

WTF is wrong with you

Nani the fuck. I'm posting on that right now. It's one sexy laptop, but the keyboard is ass and doesn't come close to a ThinkPad. However, the mouse buttons are superior.

Dudeeeee you're getting a dellllllll
How does it feel to be a burnout druggie?

The dellllllll is burning my leg and needs its thermal paste reapplied. Fucking Haswell.

Are you retarded?
