Nope, X230 is still a great machine. Plus, there's upgradibility and if you need you can use expresscard for egpu.

also see how lenovo representatives (aka Jow Forums shills, but you get the same response if you contact them) react to someone having problems with their shitty product:

>your fault!! my uncle has one, no problem!!! no problem!!! your fault
but chang, the laptop is crap

>nooo refunds!! no refunds!!
but chang, come on, it's shitty plastic, it breaks

>nooo, go away, you lying, you butthurt, china stronk!!! reeee reeee

lol, fuck

>I paid $1300 for a shitty nupad and my cheap, easily replaceable palmrest got a crack in it
>ThinkPads are the worst, least durable machines ever built
>My $4000 Apple® Macbook Pro™ would never treat me like this
>It's Lenovo's fault I dropped over a thousand dollars into their hands for a shitty nupad (that, for the record, most likely works perfectly fine still, you're just too lazy to replace the palmrest)
Quick question, if you REALLY don't want to take 10 minutes to replace a palmrest, why the fuck do you care so much about having a crack in it? ThinkPads are laptops that are meant to work you fucking dipshit, not beauty statements. Your meant to drop it off a building, and have the laptop still work, you shouldn't expect the casing to be in tip-top shape. Even then, however, it's still durable and can withstand a fall. Your friends at Apple® actually care about beauty and fashion so go suck their dick if you really care that fucking much, faggot. stay mad

sooo, my 10 year old pc just broke after fucking with the bios

ive been falling for the thinkpad meme for a while now, thinking about using the x220/x230 as a main computer but there are no offers near me that i can verify irl, theres one x201, is it worth checking it out? or should i just wait out a x220 offer?

>I'm not mad, you're mad!
>You're the one who's butthurt!
>Sure, I spent my rent's pay on a laptop from a chinese company that is known for making worse laptops than they used to, but ME???? I'm not butthurt!! Sad!
>Everyone is chinese except for me and anyone who agrees with me!

Why, is calling someone chinese considered an insult?

like pottery
he thinks anyone who disagrees with him is a lenovo employee, aka a chinese shill.

yeah pretty much
but that's not why, he's been calling everyone who doesn't agree with him chinese because we supposedly "shill lenovo"

lol, yeah, trust this guy, right here

Well yes, actually.
According to some article Lenovo ThinkPads have amassed +100M sales, so until you show me that atleast 1% of (aka one million) ThinkPads have cracked palmrests, I'll consider it a consistent, common issue. I will properly acknowledge it.
>0.00000005% of thinkpads have a cracked palmrests!!11!!!!1! Terrible quality! Lenovo bad!

how do you even know how many people have this problem? do you work for lenovo?

>1%
is that the quality one can expect from lenovo? what about other problems, also 1% for each?
so i guess half of them would have to break immediately from some kind of problem for lenovo to recognize it

fuck that and fuck lenovo

I gave an estimate of how many pictures of cracked palmrests you've shown us at 5, turns out you actually only gave 4. 5/100,000,000 = 5^-8 you fucking tard
If you want I'll lower it to a quarter of a percent. Fuck it, a tenth of a percent. give me proof that at least 0.1% of thinkpads how this issue and i'll consider it.

did you even understand what I said? I thought you could've shown us 5 pictures so 5/100M. You actually gave 4 so infact it would be 4^-8% of ThinkPads with cracked palmests. anyway, neither the image in this reply of this one are palmrests, the first one is from an SL series ThinkPad, cheaper, consumer oriented, not as good as T/X/W/P. The second one, I can't even tell what that's supposed to be, but I can tell you it's definitely not an older ThinkPad. Regardless, do you know that either of these are cracks to "just so randomly appeared"? or were they dropped? Just go buy yourself a macbook and you won't have to deal with a simple crack. hoes INFURIATED (x24)

these are only a few of the many you can find in 30 sec on google

dropped or "magically appeared"?

dropped or "magically appeared"?
nupad, also
dropped or "magically appeared"?
chipped corner, not a crack and you can't tell me this shit "magically appeared". outta here with your bullshit faggot
nupad (even though it's xx40), also
dropped or "magically appeared"?

And I did your cute little "google search". overwhelming majority of them are nupads, and none of them say that they "magically appeared". Also, still not looking like 0.1%. stay mad faggot

My T440 isn't fast enough anymore for things like Java development, so I'm looking for something affordable around 800-100, what does Jow Forums recommend?

Sir ples do the needful and read the OP and check for your model, if it isnt there then you surely overpayed and got cucked hard, i (the plst above yours) payed 100 us for my t510 and havent gotten a single crack or general issue

Surely a W laptop would be better

when did I say it was too many faggot? I can also do this all day, it's an off day for me. quit showing me nupads which we have all acknowledged have shitty build quality. and get the fuck out of here with you "magically appeared" bullshit. we all know you sat on your fucking thinkpad fatass
>this shitty nupad that I spent all my money on has a crack because I can't take care of my devices waaaahh

>I've been cheated and cucked waaaaaah

Just look at all these evidence and my own experience.
How do they react? Of course they know their laptops are crap and they break, but they will never accept it.

That's lenovo for you. Better buy something else. Lenovo is shit.
Consider yourself warned.

Thanks user, now last question. Will the laptop market change in the next years? Im willing to drop good money on a laptop, but completely unsatisfied with current premium tier laptops. Will that change?
If it wont, maybe i should still get the 480 with an extended warranty.

I dont think so, companies want thin and light and they keep shilling thin and light very hard. If you want the T480 though it isn't a bad laptop since it has quad 8th gen incel cpu, so if you want the extra kick go for it. Warranty is a scam though, it's a thinkpad not a MacBook.

consider yourself warned

thinkpads are bad quality laptops that will crack from regular use, just from regular use
if you still want to buy this shit, your choice

lenovo knows this better than anybody, but they prefer to pay reviewers and absolute idiots to do damage control and shilling on the internet,
instead of fixing their shit, it's cheaper this way

It sucks. I remapped it to menu.

Well the T60 is more of an IBM one even though Lenovo technically had acquiredf ThinkPads by then.

where can i find the T60 mainteance manual? the link on thinkwiki is dead.

Fell for the meme and bought an X220. What SSD should I put in? I'd go for a 2.5" for the speed advntage over the mSATA but I'm wondering about the brand and sub-models. Right now I'm leaning toward a Samsung 860. Should I go with the pro or EVO? Anything else I should consider?

I have a T420 (2520M, 8 GB RAM and SSD), it has heat problems and the 4200M seems to have reached it's lifespan.
I'm thinking of buying a new laptop that its equal or better than this one.

Could someone tell me some models (thinkpad or not) worth to check out on eBay?

just buy SAMSUNG EVO 860, everything else is just trash.

Wheres the best places to buy thinkpads?

I am a newbie and got my first X220. I installed arch on it and everything works fine. But I have one question regarding the trackpoint which is new for me. Is it possible to click with the trackpoint as well somehow like I can do with the touchpad? Like I said it is my first thinkpad.

I just got an x220t in the mail, and multiple distros of linux I have tried have the same problem. When plugged into AC, the mouse cursor goes crazy. (Some distros worse than others). Even with touchpad disabled and just trackpoint. Anyone encounter this issue? Fixed it? I've checked forums and have seen a few bug reports, but no fix as far as I can see.

B-bump!!

Been a couple of years, guys. I'm curious if there is anything that should be around the $100 mark now that would be good for a kid who constantly torrents videos.
He's coming from a macbookpro (2012); is there something of slightly better specs I can upgrade him to?

100? you could get like an T400/T420. You're going to be doing some bidding, or just get lucky with a BIN on ebay. There used to be a buying guide in the OP. I don't see it now.
