/g/uys, I need a new laptop and I've been thinking about a thinkpad yoga, because of muh digitizer.
Try to convince me to buy something else
Also, thinkpad general
>>45268597
Get an x220, don't get a yoga.
get a x220 and give me all the money that you saved from not buying a yoga to me.
>>45268611
Comparable specs? Especially processing power, because I'm an engineer and I need my processing power
I just installed Windows Vista on my T60p. I have an important program that requires Windows to run, driver support in Windows 7/8 for the T60p is pretty bad and Windows XP is... Windows XP.
Rate how retarded I am.
>>45268597
Will the keyboard and palmrest get scratched in tablet mode?
>>45268653
You can get the x220t with an i7-2620M. It's basically as good as the i7-4600U of the highest end yoga, just a little worse in power consumption.
The x220t can take up to 8GB of ram, and 16GB in some cases, and you'll still get an ips display, just not at 1080p.
In the end it's up to you, but most people would probably recommend the x220t over a yoga because of it's reliability and build quality.

>In the end it's up to you, but most people would probably recommend the x220t over a yoga because of it's reliability and build quality.
How bad is the yoga's build quality/reliability, because I don't really care for legacy thinkpad shit (for example, I don't mind the new trackpad), but I would actually prefer a 1080p+ display.
Also, are there any other brands that make decent laptops with digitizers?
>>45268885
>you assholes are trying to save me money! how dare you!!!
>>45268968
Yoga is NOT a ThinkPad
There is Fujitsu.
>>45268968
Just get a fucking Surface Pro.
Is an x200 tablet worth it for 180 €?
Where's the best place to grab a thinkpad in the UK?
I've been checking ebay for decent x220s but I can't find any with an IPS screen.
>>45269131
Pretty much only ebay. Sourcing one can take a while.
My SSD came today for my X60. I'll be upgrading some hhd/ram and installing Trisquel later.
I gave it a good clean around the case and keyboard, removed ALL the stickers. It had XP and Vista stickers along with the others; windows id key, intel processor...
>>45270605
SSD size? cost you ?, link?

Vista is fine, fully updated its the same damn thing as Win 7 if all you need it is for one or two programs.
how come my battery is still shit, it looks good on paper. get maybe 3hrs , x201, using tlp also
>>45271266
The indicated capacity of the battery may not be correct, it has to be calibrated every once and awhile.
and then
>Linux
>>45271292
how do you do that.
>>45271319
I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it with TLP, but I'm not sure. Basically it just entirely discharges and then recharges the battery.
Haven't used Linux on a ThinkPad in at least 7 months.
>>45271359
could I work if I put it outside over night might do the trick?
>>45271266
Linux is known to be a massive energy hog.
Just it's use of timers, if I understand correctly, attributes to most of this consumption.
>>45271377
I get the same on windows, So its not linux
>>45268597
Yoga is best laptop. Good screen without some retard unecassary discrete GPU. Foldable slim as hell, good battery ssd. Don't listen to these autists, its great. Use it for uni note. Tent mode is really cool too. Use it with a nice poker keyboard (modded to bluetooth)and a mouse when I travel. Eya better than having to put a keyboard in front of laptops keyboard.
>>45271385
If you're using windows occasionally you can use lenovos power monitoring program to see your battery's actual capacity vs it's max capacity.
>>45271266
Linux acpi gets jack-shit right.. i have a x200t and Windows 8 Battery report shows me the more correct status of my Battery
>>45271448
W7, 8 , all of them I get way to high temps, but with linux everything is normal, thats why I use linux and it feels smoother on laptops somehow.
I bought a T400 for 100$ and spend another 100$ upgrading, now I have a t400 with core 2 duo 2.53, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, 160gb hdd for 200$.
>>45271471
I use a dualboot with Linux and Win8.1 cause i need Linux for Coding and cause its a smoother feeling and Win for Eclipse and

>>45271501
I am also running elementary OS on my x61T
>>45271501
Is 3TB worth $180?
>>45271501
Those specs are nice man, and that price? You can't go wrong. Post a pic.
>>45271501
>didn't upgrade with an SSD
sigh...
>>45271543
the ssd was $ 100 more expensive
Does anyone know how to bind actions to the tablet keys in Elementary OS on an X61T?
I can't for the life of me get the buttons to respond
>>45271540
>>45271583
I feel you, I just bind a script and it does the job, would be nice to make the buttons work, but gave up after a few hrs of trying.
>>45271608
I've bound scripts to the buttons but they still don't do shit when you press them
>>45268821
>You can get this, but it's worse than yoga

same here, but then I just made a desktop icon and its working. If you find a way post it.
Just bought a t540 (paycheck yay), thinking of selling my 2048*1536 IPS t60. Anybody here knows what a good pricepoint would be? $150 maybe? This resolution on a t60 is apparantly really uncommon so can't even find any completed eBay listings for this thing.
>>45268782
Linux + Wmare (windows)?
>>45271377
>Linux is known to be a massive energy hog.
?
X61T here draws less than 6W under Linux.
>>45271730
2048*1536 IPS t60, wtf? how tell me, pic?, pic of deskto+p?, you must be lying
>>45271752
here ya go mate

Hmmm... I'd take that for $150.
>>45271811
Did you add that screen in it?
mind taking it apart and getting us the lcd model?
>>45271883
If he sells it to me, I _promise_ to do that ;-)
>>45271811
HOW??, how much would it cost to get my t60 like that, that looks awesome!
jelly
>>45271752
If I'm not entirely soaring away I believe there is a 2048x1536 screen on one of the weird R-something models, could just as well be one of those screens transplated onto it
>>45271916
Could be. And they're kinda annoying to work with. But I'd been meaning to pick one up,

It's like you're actually uneducated and have no idea what you're talking about.
>>45268782
NT5.2 (Server 2003 only, XP 64-bit support terminated) and NT6.0 are the only sane MS choices left.
When the support for these OS's end, anything workstation related on Windows is no more.
Daily reminder that Vista/Server 2008 still has better CPU performance/utilization, better Superfetch algorithms for system with lots of RAM and less bugs, that will never be fixed than Windows 7, Server 2008 R2, Windows 8 and so on.
>>45272037
Is there a way to pirate Server 2008? (or even R2 2008 or 2012)
>>45272061
Daz loader, just like Vista and 7.
>>45272083
Mind you, the differences between Vista and Server 2008 are non-existant when using the exact same services. Well, x86 version of Enterprise Server supports 64gigs of ram with PAE, just like 2000 Datacenter and Server 2003 Enterprise.
>>45272083
it didn't work
then I looked it up and figured out that it doesn't work with "Datacenter" but with every other version and Server 2012. fuck me life.
I found an old thinkpad x40 with a ssd on craigslist. Do I buy? $40
>>45271501
>putting a hdd into a laptop that doesn't already have an ssd
full retard
>>45273499
Depends on if you want it. A Pentium M isn't nice to work with and if you ever need more space, that SSD is a 1.8" PATA so good luck with that.
>>45273499
> American Prices
I'm jealous, I've been looking for an X40 for a while now.
>>45268782
I've installed Classic Shell on Vista to make it painless...for Windows. You can often use Vista drivers with 7 if you want to play with that.
applied some new thermal paste and these temps are insane mang.
>>45275517
what brand paste?
>>45275529
arctic silver
Currently laptop is pretty fucked, looking for a new one. Is pic related a good idea? Reasonable price? What would be another good place to look besides Ebay and CL?
>>45275758
I would also probably switch out the keyboard and upgrade RAM and HDD
>>45275758
well what the hell does the description for the laptop say?
>>45275517
that's either sitting in the freezer or you broke the sensor chip. Your processor is _not_ sitting at or below ambient.
>>45275783
Sorry, not exactly a laptop-purchasing veteran.
This laptop is used and has some scuffs and scratches from previous use. (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS). It has been FULLY TESTED by a qualified technician.

What's better, battery and performance wise, buying a quad-core machine and underclocking it, or buying a normal dual-core machine and leave it untouched?
>>45276138
thus explaining a great many things.
>>45268597
I'm considering the 14 one.
I don't see another laptop/tablet hybrid in the 13 size with a dedicated gpu and removable 2.5'' and m2 drive.
New yoga doesnt have a digitizer... because lenovo is trying to ruin everything ibm built.
Can someone who has an x200/1 tell me what the size is like in comparison to the HP 2740p? I have a HP tm2t that's similar and heavier than it that died and was thinking of getting a Thinkpad instead of repairing it. I wanted something lighter and smaller to do general stuff.
>>45275784
>keeping your home warmer than 20c
Disgusting
>>45276190
Buying a quad core, more recent the better.
They're way more energy efficient and the batteries are more efficient. Plus they'll run slightly better than the dual core.
>>45269013
yes it is faggot
Dumb question /g.entlemens, i jut upgraded my l440 with a M.2 128gb SSD placed in the empty slot, what would be the best way to clone my wondows 8.1 installation so i can finaly install gentoo on the original HDD
