You're making Apple look good

people like thinkpads because the older second hand ones are cheap and are insanely repairable. buying thinkpads brand new and later gen goes against both of those
tldr: dont buy new and later gen thinkpads

That's probably lense distortion.

The L480 with Win 10 pro and an ssd was like 1500 usd. And there was no replacement keyboard for it on stock right now here. This ain't America.

Can return it in 2 weeks if they scammed me with a refurbished one. Not everyone's an autist.

It will run Debian 10 stable KDE. As soon as it arrives and the OS is uploaded online. That's the upcoming weekend.

I want to use it for 5 or 6 years at least.

I already got an extra 7200rpm Hitachi drive used like for 1 week by me and a brand-new unused 256 sized Samsung ssd.
You throw away everything you have?

A T450S in excellent condition with an i7 5600U is $150 and it will bench just as high as the 7200u

Don't listen to the retards OP. This is a comfy laptop that will work for years, and give you joy. I have a T460 and have used a T470 with same spec as yours and these machines run Debian flawlessly.

When that one came out here, brand new with Win 8 pro and an SSD it was 2700usd unironically. I doubt I'd get it that cheap. Also I make 35k usd per year after taxes, my living expenses are 11k usd, no kids to feed, but Jow Forums says I live in the ""4th world"".

Yeah, I figured. ""Hurr durr reddit"" but all the boards here have their autistic microculture with their 'holy cows'.
First thing's first when I unpack it, I'll rub some alcohol with a cotton pad on the chassis to see if it's not a painted second hand one, just in case. They promised 36 months guarantee unless I drop it from the 10th floor into the swimming pool, so I am expecting a new machine.
Btw the Debian will need the non-free version with firmware incuded but my previous ultrabook had that OS too.

Yea, it needs the iwlwifi if you have intel wifi, but really I personally don't mind it.

Will use it at home. At some places I have cable at some it's more convenient to do wifi since it's 5Ghz AC band.

Wtf is Jewtel doing, looking up this i5-7200U it's just 25% faster than i5-2520m in my almost 8 years old laptop.

Thing probably gets 4-5x more battery life.

Is it over?

Have to wait a week for shipment because they don't work on the weekend othwerwise it would arrive on Saturday.

>2520m
Lithography 32 nm
vs
>7200u
Lithography 14 nm

With the extended larger battery that tilts the machine this one should do like 8hrs on cable connection with linux if not more.

But in 8 years we went from 486DX2-66 to Athlon 800 which was like 40-50x faster and now the gain is 25%.

You fucked up, you could get a 5th gen i7 with a 970M for literally half the price spent.
As far as ThinkPads go, a T440p would have been more than fine with a non-U CPU (aka, much better) and around 300 euros, still with a FHD IPS screen and 16GB out of the box.

I picked a machine that has a metallic chassis all over and under the keyboard too based on teardown videos, the keyboard is also stronger than the average stuff at the mall. Even thicker gamer's laptops bend like fucking cardboard. The cheapest 14" hd screen office ultrabook is 600usd here and they are like pressing plastic foil.
Remember having an old HP-Compaq that lasted 7 years with the original keyboard. Then I've put another chink aftermarket one into it, was tight and worked, used it another year and then gave it away because it was running hot even after reapplying thermal paste.
This board is a glorious salt mine akin to reddit.

Sounds great for that price, remember to run off mitigations to fully use the cpu.

Technology improved faster then. These days it's perfectly fine to use a Sandy Bridge from 2010 for basic daily usage and even gayming.
Couldn't really do the same with a processor from 1999 in 2009.

Because software and especially games also stagnated since there's barely any advance on hardware level during past 10 years.

This is problem with capitalism, look at intel, it's primary function is to make money so if that means jewing out the maximum from old tech and playing political games instead of innovation it'll do that.

I bought T460s for equivalent of 660 USD. Even that's not the best deal even in europe, I didn't get ripped as op

Looked at the teardown of that T model, doesn't have a rigid metallic chassis, it's plastic, only the hinges are metal. I am buying an average machine that can take physical abuse due to the metallic frame but don't plan to throw it around. I don't play games but I read and write a lot and in that scenario rigidity is important especially when I keep most of my devices for 6 years. Also the cooler of that T model looked really small for me.

Maybe it's magnesium, you can't tell magnesium from plastics just looking at video.

Previously I used T510 for three years. T460s is basically as rigid as that behemoth, feels really solid. Only thing that flexes a little bit is screen when you twist it, but then again, why would you twist your screen? I don't think you can break it without intentionally trying.

Overall it is very solid. It can run a little hot sometimes, but nothing to crazy. Only thing that bothers me is display. I've got FHD IPS and it is not bad, just average. Because of that I kind wish I'd got X1C gen3, but it got few nice things over that one.

After 2 months of use I still recommend it, money well spend. Very portable, very pleasant to use and touch, especially because carbon fibre reinforced plastic.

>U processor
>5400RPM HDD

jesus christ

I bought a lightly used X260 for 500, with pretty much the same specs as OP's computer (6200u instead of 7200u, of course) plus a SSD and a Windows key.

My specs:
FHD IPS
8GB DDR4
i5-6300U
256GB SSD
No WWAN (unfortunately)

Condition overall close to mint. No scratches, keyboard and trackpad in good shape.

Bought in Poland.

also, windows 10 pro included

RIP HDD

>one generation earlier than low-power mobile quad-cores became mainstream
gg no re

what? I don't have hdd on that laptop

Porn and spreadsheets on Linux won't pass 40C, let alone reach the stress test levels.

Yeah that's the thing why I picked regular magnetic hdd in case I will install Windows.

So the keyboard lasts 4 years easily and I can have a replecament keyboard in the closet too. While I can do my own shit freely to earn back this money in less than a week and just forget about computers for 5 or 6 years.

He meant SSD. There is too much read and write going on Win 10 pro if you keep security backups. Will eat it the disk up in 3 years.

Also I will make a ton of thinkpad and macbook threads now on, will be fun to watch the cringe.

No, I meant HDD. Win 10 killed a few of them for me.

The magnetic drives? How?

It would have high disk usage all most of the time and would even freeze fairly often (especially with win updates turned on). I installed fresh win 8.1 on the same laptop and now it has no porblems (though it came with win 8 originally and it had some problems too). I also have win 10 on my other, new, laptop that I got less than a month ago and while disk usage ia not that bad it's nowhere near as good as on 8.1. I blame microshits wangbloats 10.

win10 constantly trashes hard drive and then if you have office, some adobe product or chrome it'll further slow everything down with constant scanning and telemetry. Shit like officeclicktorun.exe, software_reporter_tool.exe will drive you crazy.

If linux would do all things I want it to do and with so little effort as windows, I'd be using linux

Well, haven't touched Windows since 2012. That glitch could be gone by next year.

Email, news, porn, movies, document editing. What else? I don't code nor play games. The rax returns are done by my accountant I just mail here some fill-on-the-blank xml type of shit from the government site, then she does the rest and next week I sign the papers.

You can probably turn it off.

>950usd

?!!!?!? wouldn't you get the same shit in an ideapad but WAY less

>adobe product or chrome
Oh indeed, it would fucking freeze if you use adobe reader too. Fucking spyware telemetry bullshit.

The L series looks the part, but just isn’t the same thing. I made the mistake of getting an L430 years ago, it was thick and cheap, not what I was expecting.

Linuxfags will defend this

It is over.

It’s old and never been used. You guys are not as smart as you think you are.

They bend like cardboard now. You should try a V330 or V310 at the store. At least you will leave the house.

Could have gotten a gayming laptop with a dedicated GPU for that price OP. Sucks to be (You)

This!

not saying they are better, but they are the same shit for the same amount of money, also imagine being so stupid you break your laptop but dropping or bending it lol

correction: for less amount of money
