Which one should I buy?
>>52006234
A Thinkpad
get a gun instead and shoot yourself.
Just get a thinkpad idiot
>>52006234
Apple if you want OS X.
Alienware if you want Windows.
If you want your shit to last only buy high-end laptops. Not this Consumer Dell, HP or Asus shit.
>>52006234
If you don't want a thinkpad the you shouldn't be on /g/ faggot
Well, I suppose HP isn't too bad. I have one right now and it's still alive n' kicking.
>>52006234
>buying prebuilt scams
nice meme!
If you are going to get HP at least get something from the Elite series, it's the thinkpad of HP. the business class high end stuff.

>I don't want a mild urinary track infection so which one is better: AIDS, cancer or ebola?
>>52006275
Happy Other laptop user:
>This laptop is great because of this, this and this.
Happy HP laptop user:
>This laptop is great, it's still working
>>52006297
High end build, shit tier specs.
>>52006312
Well, actually I have a desktop, but I get what your trying to say.
>>52006268
you're a retard
>>52006234
fuck off fucking retard /g/ is not your tech review
>>>/wsr/
I swear if I ever get mod for /g/ fucking redditfag like you who can´t read for shit get the b&hammer in under 2secounds
>>52006267
apple barely last tho. you can say the same for most 'high end' laptop
Why is the thinkpad so revered here?
>>52006275
>>52006275
this. I still have my 2008 hp and still kicking with no repair.. Battery is ded tho
>>52006471
If you have to ask you'll never know.
>>52006484
i've never used one, although i do like the design.
>>52006344
they have i7 8gb+ tho, perfect for work.. Hows that shit for a laptop? or are you a gaymur?
>>52006234
>none of the above
Asus master race
>>52006471
Because they're built like tanks, modular, and cheap. Most after them are imitation MacBooks, and shitty ones at that.
>>52006447
>apple barely last tho
I've been using the same MacBook for 5 years and it's still running great. Battery still holds about three fourths of its design capacity.
>>52006471
top tier poorfag machines.
not even shitposting
>>52006524
>modular
what do you mean by this?
>>52006471
built like a tank. Most guys here are poor neets so they buy used same with other boards like /o/
>>52006552
>>modular
>what do you mean by this?
what did he mean by this?
>>52006471
Because it's solid high end computer equipment (not the newest ones though). No botnets using resources to spy on you included in the BIOS, easy to upgrade, great keyboard, modular and etc. It's the ideal laptop build quality
>>52006526
5 years isnt a good benchmark. Not surprising for an fb machine
also
>anecdotal
>>52006582
i'm in the market for a thinkpad. which one is entry level for a college student.
>>52006552
You can modify the internals with ease.
>>52006234
HP Probook
>>52006641
>You can modify the internals with ease.
If/when necessary and if you're skilled.
>>52006234
>I don't want a good brand
>So which of these shit brands should I buy
>>52006827
>why would you be on /g/ if you weren't skilled
>>52007177
>why would you be on /g/ if you weren't skilled
That's like saying
>why would you be on a computer science course if you can't program
Just people people shouldn't do stupid things doesn't mean they wont stop trying.

How is a Thinkpad better than Apple?
How is a Thinkpad better than HP?
How is a Thinkpad better than Alienware?
>>52007343
>Apple - Overpriced, shitty OS
>HP - Shitty hardware, bloat, poor customer service
>Alienware - Overpriced gaymer geer
>Thinkpad - Rugged and reliable
not sure why people are recommending a "think"pad when hp is clearly best
>>52006447
>apple barely lasts
nice maymay
>>52007389
>>52006588
He's not saying his apple lasted him 5 years, he's saying he's had it for 5 years and it's still going great. Now go play with your thinkpad.
>>52007506
prove me wrong? thinkpads feel nice but they're have hacked bios
>>52006234
wtf is wrong with a thinkpad
>>52007371
>>Thinkpad - Rugged and reliable
actually apple are much more reliable. Apple users at IBM require support far less than PC users
>>52007630
jnice try! thiw is "bait"
>>52007630
>shitty OS
The ones sat in front of macs are like when you hand a video game controller to a kid that isn't plugged into anything and they think they're doing something
>>52007514
Elitebooks feel nice, but come with NSA hardware implants.
Dell latitude or macbook pro
>>52007513
Yeah but 5 years doing what exactly?
A facebook machine lasting 5 years is not surprising.
This very second I'm still using my old shitty Compaq from 2007 because it's the only portable thing with a screen bigger than a smartphone.
I can just about still use the web with it, that doesn't mean it's not a huge piece of shit.
Anything mildly strenuous would be a fucking mess.
>>52006234
>Considering American brands
Why not just instead of buying a computer, shoot yourself in the dick?
>>52007701
Dell
>>52007513
more like work in my thinkpad. Now go back to your fb tab
>>52006471
Used to be an American company with laptops for people who don't fuck around like businesses so they are business laptops.
>>52006267
Alienware is garbage
>>52006234
>I want a laptop for basic tasks
Get a cheap, used Thinkpad, HP Elitebook, or Dell Latitude/Precision off of eBay. See the guides on ktgee.net.
>I want a laptop for basic tasks and for some reason I REALLY want OSX!
Get a "cheap" used Macbook. See the guides on bad-dragon.com.
>I want a laptop that can do workstation things
Get a nicer model of used Thinkpad, HP Elitebook, or Dell Latitude/Precision off of eBay meets your spec requirements. See the guides on ktgee.net.
>I want a laptop that can play video games!
Build a desktop instead
>but I need to play games on the GO! I am also willing to sacrifice the upgradability that a desktop offers, pay double-triple the price that an equivalent desktop would cost, and sacrifice any desires I have for a light weight and good battery life
Look into Sager/Clevo. I think Leddit has some good guides for this, just don't expect any intelligent input if you ask their community any questions.
>>52006234
hp probook/elitebook
dell xps
>>52006521
>easy bake oven and no battery master race
>>52007630
>they are more reliable
yup and left is right up is down and the world is fucked in the ass down and up
>>52008005
True, so true!
>>52006520
I'm sure he means for the price
