The same one I'm shitposting on right now. Thinkpad X200T I got for $85 and have subsequently sunk another $75 into in upgrades.

Thinkpad t430.

Is anyone really that retarded

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 12.5

Turning heads of both chinkpadders and macfags with 16:10 1920x1200 IPS LCD, DVD-RAM burner, VGA, ethernet, and easily replaceable battery. Giving a presentation is top comfy I just plug the connector in and it comes up like it should. 9 hours browsing the web and taking notes in OneNote with Outlook open in the background.

Hp pavilion 15-cw0009la

Ryzen 5 2500u, 12 GB of RAM, 128 GB M2, and changed the 1 TB HDD for a 2 TB one.

The only thing I don't like about it is that HP restricted the processor speed to 2 GHz, when it should run up to 3.6 GHz, even 3 GHz would be enough.

I know it can be solved without a custom BIOS on Linux though, but I need to do some research.

I was interested in getting one of these but it was very expensive(for me) and decided on the Huawei instead. But I must ask, how do you like it?

i went to school and it was a fucking mistake. dont do it unless you plan on doing grad school as well. invest in a trade and you'll be making 3x as much money for half the work.

>grad school
That's where I am, cucking away another 4+ years of my life for a PhD.

then it will be worth it. bachelors is a fucking meme. good luck bro. my lazy ass was too unmotivated to do another 2-4 years of school now im stuck in this neverending shithole cause I already paid tens of thousands for it.

pic related with 8 gb of ram and dual ssd's, it just werks

Honestly, I love it, I got the Kaby Lake 2017 model for £400 brand new on sale, and it really does feel like it's almost a £1k laptop. Fast charge is super useful, screen is beautiful, keyboard is one of the best I've used among notebooks, and it's pretty decent with performance, although i've undervolted for extra battery life.

Some gripes though are lack of thunderbolt 3, only one usb3, and the it only accepts a wierd voltage and current because of fast charge, therefore you are limited by what you can use to charge it, this also means most powerbanks, even the high end usb c pd ones, won't charge it. The biggest gripe is 4gb ram, although it hasn't become an issue for me yet.

T450

I used that for school. It's awful.

>fans get very loud with only mediocre load already
>battery life is utter shit

otherwise you really cant complain - but these points killed it for mobile use in my case

>>fans get very loud
mine doesn't, but it does run hot

Thinkpad (without anime stickers)

Hola cabron

>4gb ram in 2019
Not even Apple will stoop that low.

this

Thinkpad x220 (8gb ram, 256gb ssd, i5 2540m) running Arch GNU/Linux

I have a 2012 mbp running gentoo but I usually don’t bring it along. Or use it at all these days. Strictly phoneposting and do big stuff on a desktop at home. No laptop ever feels good anymore compared to a mech keyboard and giant screen.

How does it feel to be a living, breathing meme?

Thinkpad W520 (8gb ram, 1024gb ssd, i7 2820QM) running Gentoo

pretty good desu. It's a decent enough laptop for the work I use it for, especially after you factor in how cheap it is. No webcam either, so that's a bonus for muh privacy. I have win7 setup in a vm so if I ever need to use excel or something else windows specific I'm able to do that with ease.

Samsung Notebook 9 pro
I7 8550U, 8 GB ram, 256 SSD

I've had it for less then 6 hours now. I haven't had a chance to see if it's upgradeable.
Then pen writes nice, but I'd like a fatter alternative when I pick up drawing.

surface book with dgpu. love the pen

For me, it was a t430 thinkpad. The screen has absolute shit resolution, but it's good for text-based shit like word, excel, powerpoint etc.

how does the keyboard compare to the older thinkpads?

I think the actual keyboard itself is great. I like the travel and feedback of the keys, and I think it's a bit better than the old ones from a typing standpoint.

Regarding the new layout, though, you'll either hate it or be indifferent. I never really used the keys that were affected by the layout change anyway, so I didn't mind it.

One of these, the bw065nr running debian.
I hate it so much and I want to upgrade. The battery is dogshit and I'm gonna be honest I'm too retarded to disassemble it and I don't think it's worth it because I'm 90% sure the storage device is non-upgradeable because it's from HP.

Back i think 10 years ago a Dell M1330 because it is as large as an A4 paper, was the first 13 inch laptop with seperated 3D chip and LED backlight. Super fancy.

And could last a whole fucking 8 to 10 hours. That was also insane back then. And good Linux support also later on when i removed windows.

Dell xps 9370 16 gb with Ubuntu dev edition I love it so far just got it

I am thinking oft getting a thinkpad E480
I plan in using it for the next 5 years at least.

Surface Pro 4
Got it for preorder in 1st year of uni and now I'm in my last semester. It's held up pretty well besides some expected wear. The paint is worn off a bit on the side where the pen sticks on and there's some weird light bleeding in one spot on the screen that wasn't there a few years ago. Battery life is alright, screen's great, portability is 10/10. Bought it mostly to replace pen and paper notes, because 80%+ of my notes wouldn't be doable with just a keyboard.

mid 2012 macbook pro, it just wrks for about 6 years now.

Where the fuck do you guys go to school?
Even in my computer-heavy classes, we were either taking notes by hand or doing exercises in the computer labs.

as I take more advanced courses I've noticed that less and less allow you to use a computer, and for some that do, it simply isn't viable to use a computer to take notes.
During my first few years pretty much every class allowed us to use computers, but now in the second half of my junior year only two of my classes allow us to use computers, and I only use it for one of those.

What's the best customisable laptop case on the market? I want something small enough to fit in a backpack, large enough to put many different sizes of motherboard, HDD/SDD, etc, preferable something thick but not too large in length/width. Can include toughbooks, in fact those might be preferable for changing parts with ease.

My nigga, laptops are actually not useful for taking notes in class as you tend to forget things when you type them, rather than when you handwrite them.
Most classes have notes anyway, just focus on the lecture (unless the notes suck)

Noice, I really like circular trackpad and how you can jog scroll with it.

Ipad pro with comfy keyboard and pencil. Lightweight and good for notes

How about writing by hand?

No laptop, just an ereader

thanks for the compliment. imagine being a workfag LOL. That's a pleonasm btw

Unironically a t430 running lubuntu

I also have a “gaming pc” that I built in high school that hasn’t been used to run anything more intensive than visual novels in a year

faggot
how the fuck are you going to do any computation on that

It's for note taking and reading textbooks, dumbass. Any class that requires computer use takes place in a lab.

these are the ones that have the windows superkey right?

universities usually do not provide any laptops whatsoever.

thinkpad x250 or t450s.

some hp crap with shit seagate HDD that requires replacing upon first bootup.

lenovo ideapad 720s
otherwise good but the fan curve is fucked up so it tries to fly every time the cpu hits 40 degrees

Attached: 4zu3_Lenovo_Ideapad_720S_15IKB_Teaser.jpg (890x668, 208K)

HP Envy ab016nr as my main device. Good battery life and sufficiently powerful. Fan is reasonable when you limit cpu usage to 99% to prevent boost. Will probably upgrade to something with thunderbolt support in a few months for eGPU and external displays.

Side device is a cheap Lenovo Yoga 11e Gen 3 that I use pretty much for onenote pen shit.

tell me your battery life now

2012 Acer Aspire V with AyyyyMD A10 (quad-core, max boost of 3.5Ghz)

Chrome sucks the battery pretty quickly, so expect 5hrs of usage on the internet (especially youtube).
For reading pdf files with ~75% brightness I used it last time from 9 to 3 practically non stop and it went from 100% to 64%.
Used it with GNS3 (network simulation software) which keeps cpu usage up to 100% most of the time and it drained 50% in 2 hours.
This is pretty good for me as I've never needed to bring the adapter with me to uni. Mind you that I bought this laptop used and battery health is ~80%.

based

An XPS 13 9360, the first generation to have the new insanely powerful quad core CPU and the last to have USB-A ports. Also has a blazing fast NVMe SSD. The battery got fucked somehow and only holds 47% of its total capacity, even with that the battery life is fairly good. Even though this laptop is supposedly getting a bit old in the category of the latest and greatest thinshits, it still holds up fairly well and it'd be hard to find a real upgrade.

I think I had an Asus netbook circa 2010, an x220t and a fall 2013 rMBP before I dropped out. Still using the x220t today.

When it is very needful, I can get some HP laptop at uni, since it has all needful CADs and shit.

Uni gave me a 2016 p40 yoga

Listen to me:
If you go to uni get a surface pro. That shit is one of the best things ever and the ability to get everything on one note is incredible. It´s a bit expensive but it´s worth it.
>b-but muh thinkpad, muh dell
Nearly everything in university you need to do has a workload that an iphone 4 can do.
Except you do CAD or some heavy data science shit, but for first you can do that on university pc and for second you can do that on your own pc.

Get a surfface pro (or what ever is as good as this I guess the yoga line from lenovo), get a good pencil and put one note on it.

thinkpad x230

Thinkpad X220 running Devuan

I would use that if I attended a school for the gais

Dell xps 15

I just got a complete t430 for $130 and slapped an SSD on it. Ubuntu works fine for what I'm doing.

I don't go to school anymore kids.
