>finally get convinced by Jow Forums
>spend 2100 euros getting a Thinkpad T580
>Install Arch on it
>Yeah it's kinda good I guess
So I got a 4k 15'' screen which makes everything look fucking tiny, and an i7 with an external nvidia card that barely works with the nouveau drivers, and 16 gigabytes of ram and an SSD...
To browse Jow Forums and fap to my fucking 2d waifus
Thanks
Much thanks

>Arch
>buying a new thinkpad
Jow Forums is fucking sponsored by Lenovo at this point, Thinkpads are complete shit. Good work falling for the Thinkpad Jew
I don't get what are you trying to say. You bought a computer but have no use for it? Or are you somehow blaming having no use for it on the OS you voluntary installed on it?
>T580
>2100 euros
Point of ThinkPads is getting a 100$ T420 in mint condition and ricing it with 3840QM i7 Quadcore and 1080p IPS. Not spending a fucking 2200 euros.
You realize the meme is buying an old ThinkPad you can get for dirt cheap (x200:$30), maybe upgrading to an SSD with 8mb of ram for another $100? Since they're a business comp there's lots of 2nd hand ones in like-new condition and there's lots of spare parts. Also the old keyboards are sick. That's why you buy a ThinkPad. Not a a new one, fool. You memed yourself
What are you even doing
...
Jesus Christ OP you did it completely wrong
The T580 comes stock with a FHD panel, the 4K upgrade is like €250. OP is either lying or a massive idiot.
Wow... Why the fuck did you not ask the thinkpad general what to do?? Can you retuen it?? user you fucking brainlet
>
You can buy x230/x220 ~10$ on ebay
and replace screen
reddit.com
Only version of the T580 stocked at the Greek Lenovo shop. Also no 500GB SSD, just 250
I kinda like it however, it's my first laptop and it's so sleek and compact
The Thinkpads shilled for are the old IBM ones usually, unless you have newfags thinking IBM and Lenovo models are the same.
The only thing you did wrong was installing a meme os like linux. 2000 is pretty much the minimum for a decent thinkpad so you had it right so far.
OP HERE
YEAH THANKS FOR THE NEGATIVE COMMENTARY GUYS I ONLY SPENT 4 OF MY MONTHLY SALARIES FOR THIS ;_;
I'd like to hear how Jow Forums managed to convince you to buy a 2100€ chinkpad and not a 100€ older model
Install Windows back and use it as you'd use any computer you tardo.
This
wow refunds and returns magically don't exist
>getting a new tp
anything after 2-nd gen Lenovo is pure shit and not a thinkpad. don't blame Jow Forums for you being an ass-blasted tardcake
Why would you spend that much on a computer?
I use a w530 with quad i7 and 1080 resolution I bought for 300$ shipped.
It also has 16 gigs of ram and ssd. With 1tb hdd as well. With room for another drive. And room for 16 gb more ram LMAO
You fucked up cunt.
>things that never happened
>2200 euro is 4 months of pay
>spending 4 months' pay on a laptop
>greek
Yeah it all checks out.
You do realize that practically every brand you see being advertised here, are paid shills, right?
I mean you don't really have to be a genius to figure this out...
Nor do you have to be a genius to figure out what kind of brands pay for shills to advertise their products.
I'll help you out. It's the ones with inferior products.
>arch
you got a good processor, just use gentoo
>nouveau
shit performance for muh foss. just use the nvidia drivers
>to browse Jow Forums and fap
get into programming and start utilizing that horsepower. or just install lutris and play vidya
>Buys a professional laptop
>Doesn't install professional os (Windows 10 Pro)
OP wtf
>4k screen
>Laptop display
For what purpose
no
Intel shills are rampant, but most people here recommend used thinkpads, since they're cheap and reliable. Still doesn't change the fact that this is the most consumerist board.
Do you seriously think that everyone mentioning a brand is a shill?
I'm sure there are some on here, but I highly doubt that Lenovo is making thinkpad general threads where everyone jacks off over 8 year old machines.
That said, OP is exactly the kind of person that a shill would target, since he just associated "Thinkpad" with Jow Forums approved, and proceeded to buy a system he has no use for.
>dumb enough to buy a current gen chinkpad
>not dumb enough to install pajeet OS
FTFY
For your retinas.
The people you call Intel shills are more likely gaymers with some level of buyer's remorse, so they cope by attacking anything AMD. That, or they're actually such consumerist NPCs that they fanboy and build their identity around the brand of a product they own.
>Fuck pajeet OS
>I prefer to live with OS that doesn't natively support any proprietary software that actual buisiness professionals use because I anyways only use it to fap to 2d porn and rice my OS with animu pictures and broken fonts
>Greek
Instead of paying of your denbts, you buy an overpriced MemePad?
>natively support any proprietary software that actual buisiness professionals use
sure, photoshop and excel scream ''The real business experience™'' and the only point of Linux is the desktop threads at a mongolian cartoon board. And i can still run that shit, so what's the point
>oh Germany please bail us out - if we go under it will wreck your Euro
>I know, I know, we won't let it happen again
>Mmmm yes, working 10 hours/week for €500/month is fine
>Ooooh look, Jow Forums told me about thinkpads! I can just put it on the credit card!
>Thinkpad T580
>not corebooted
enjoy NSA botnet
More like 10 hours a DAY. My boss doesn't let me leave until I dust the computers at the reception desk. I'm a programmer.
I don't even know why he's obsessed, he says they will run better and since I'm the computer guy I should vacuum/dust them because I know not to break them
550€/month.
best of all, you get a 16:9 screen. HD
Install a normal operating system like Windows 10 or RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 and enjoy your laptop. Or you can "rice" this shit with some eye-bleeding "minimalism" and fonts and some shitty anime wallpaper and show that in desktop thread. Your choice.
You were supposed to get an old thinkpad.
wtf
USED thinkpad, genius.
What on earth is your hourly wage then?
There's no way you can be employed full time making that. That's what I made in the US working as a part time cashier at fucking Taco Bell, in high school 6 years ago.
Well it's not a bad laptop you just spent $1500 more than you needed to
Lol what a fucking pussynigger
I get paid 300€/month
>t. yoghurt neighbour
You have a point, I wasn't looking at a big picture
I found an X201 and a T61 from insomnia.gr for 70euros each ρε Αρχιμόγγολε
i hope you're fucking joking
Noting this for when eastern yuros try to lol at American prices for internet and cell phones.
ThinkTurds:
You wouldn't buy a used television.
Why would you buy a used computer?
>poorfag
3.2€ == 3.6$ / hour, no overtime
And we pay our morning coffee out of pocket
Bulgaria? Croatia?
B-But latest technology
I honestly didn't know you guys in ThinkPad threads buy and rebuild old ones.
>he actually bought a chinkpad for more than 500 bucks
This
>Greece
>Croatia
>neighbours
nah, i'm from Bulgaristan
>that fucking bezel
>eewww
I hope the cost of living is at least lower there.
The climate is so nice though.
Time to install Gentoo
>You wouldn't buy a used television.
Except for the fact that I did.
>Why would you buy a used computer?
Good performance at 1/3rd of the price.
you got your bait wrong, autismo. people do buy used tvs
New thinkpads are shit. But only as shit as everything else.
>buying any of that fashion accessory
buying a keyboard with numpad
wowwweeeee what a waste of money
>buy big expensive laptop
>install an OS that barely supports the hardware
Literally pissing away money because you want to install your autism OS
>convinced by Jow Forums
>buys new thinkpad
You're not fooling anyone. Jow Forums told you countless times to get used ThinkPads and never spend more than 200$ on a laptop.
kek.
Not one of them, I would spend that money too.
It's not a fucking Mac, you payed premium.
>went back to uni after working for 10 years
>need a laptop but I don't feel to waste money
>x200 used thinkpad nothing broken, 90€

>fancy keyboard

>wait, is OP saying that he bought a 2k+ laptop?
>oh god why
>buying an expensive laptop just to install Linux
>buying a ChinkPad in general
I mean you only have yourself to blame for being an idiot.
why a 580? i htought that x220, x230, t420 and t430 were the poster child for thinkpads?
>New thinkpads are shit. But only as shit as everything else.
They are more shit. Dell is actually good again, and ThinkPads suck.
Basically Dell XPS is the laptop to buy these days for price/performance, imo.
>all this hate on new stinkpads
We have new X1 Carbons at work and they are fucking nice. Expensive though.
Much better than my shitty X270, I should have got an XPS13 or something instead
>installing meme distros on decent modern hardware
Jesus Christ, kys
When did anyone in Jow Forums convinced you to get a T580?
T420, T430, or T440p, then yes, but not the new one.
I guess a typical Greekturd then.
T420 used but in good condition ~150€ shipped
3840QM used ~200€ shipped
wtf ebay
Italy here
Just got a work as junior sysadmin for ~7.5€/H
Can get to double that in 4-5 years
>thing look fucking tiny

>>spend 2100 euros
>ruin it by installing loonix
The amount of hating poorfags in this thread lmfao.
>using anything lower than a t460
Enjoy your shitty battery life
I bought new P51 for about 1700€ over a year ago and I think I couldn't spend it better. It runs smoothly even with multiple Visual Studios opened and playing pubg, battery life is nice, and I'm little bit more relaxed when customer puts a glass of water near it during a presentation (one clumsy faggot destroyed my old asus' keyboard spilling water that way).
But I didn't even spend my one months salary on it, so yeah.
>4k
>15"
Just why? Below like 30", 4k just serves to make stuff smoother if scaling works well.
lol just got ideapad 330s FHD IPS for 450 euro lmao
>current year
>owning a television
For what purpose?
>>So I got a 4k 15'' screen which makes everything look fucking tiny
idk about arch but Ubuntu and Mint have built in scaling so everything looks normal sized on a 4K screen
You would have been better off with a gaymen laptop honestly.
this, I got a t440p I wish I've just bought a T460p/T470
>Jow Forums convinced you to buy a T580
>Jow Forums would've never done such a thing
Jow Forums doesn't support Arch Linux, new friend.
I wouldn't buy a new television either
Don't install lunix on it. Plain and simple. If you have to use lunix, install the nVidia drivers and use GNOME. My brother has the T580 and similar problems.
Or just don't waste your time and use Windows 10. No, the CIA doesn't give a shit about your horse porn.
