Convince me not to buy a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead of an old Thinkpad x230.
Yoga:
1080p
IPS
8GB ram
128GB ssd
touchscreen for watching porn in bed!
i5
Thinkpad:
the retarded 13xx x xxxx resolution
IPS
8GB ram
180GB ssd
i7
They are both the same price when you add a new battery to the x230
how do you even find an old thinkpad x230t in good condition? I've been looking on ebay and they all look like shit
can you post a link to the one you were looking at OP?
>>54647262
No, im not going to link ; ^) It's sold by a local company with warranty.
>>54647292
can you tell me how to go about finding a decent one
fuck mate i just want a laptop to watch anime in bed should i just get the yoga
i didn't even really consider it because it doesn't have the cool swivel thing the x230t has
>>54647337
I would get yoga if I was you
>>54647234
can I install Linux on Yoga?
>>54647234
Any laptop processor that is not HQ is a bad investment, because you can get the power of the processor inside a 1000 $ + laptop for 100$ ( example i3 6100 )
>>54647234
Yoga:
Superfish
Thinkpad:
No superfish

Inb4 kill computer watching porn in bed
>>54647391
yeah but what if I am discussing stock options with my business associate at the conference room table and I have to swivel my screen to show him my lorenz curve probability plot of our comparative wealth to prove his inferiority?
on the yoga I would have to pick up and turn the laptop like a fucking moron
>>54647393
This is the only important question.
would would you pay so much for low specs
>>54647510
>low specs
Are you autistic? Portability, display and battery life is what matters on a laptop
Why *doesn't* Lenovo stick high-res screens on the X series?
>>54647420
Rip battery life if you get a hq CPU, might as well buy a smaller desktop since you will be plugged in all the time
>>54647391>>54647234
Literally worst ducking keyboard and track pad ever.
I ducking hate it. Hinges are weAK and do is the casing.
Tbh it's Allright for casual shit posting and watching shows, but anything that requires clicking or typing sucks.
I bought one for my gf but she doesn't use it so I do
>>54647393
Yes I've booted puppy and mint
>>54647437
No you flip the screen and show the gentleman across from you
Hence yoga.
>>54647393
Booting arch as my dd on my yoga 2 pro for about 5 months now. Honestly works perfectly
>>54647707
What should i get for programming? No fucking thinkpad
Get the Thinkpad, yoga a piece of shit bad build quality and the battery life is not that great, pic related it's my piece of shit yoga memelaptop
>>54647926
T420 with coreboot and upgrade to ivy bridge
Isn't the screen resolution a problem on the x2X0t computers?
Is it possible to upgrade the screen to HD?
>>54647421
>not reinstalling the OS right away
And pray for no firmware/hardware level botnet.

Decent laptops for sure

I feel sad.

XPS 13, you fucking retard.
I'd probably just get a 'gaming' laptop for that kind of money.
OP here:
why is it so fucking impossible to find a ~13" laptop with SSD, i5u, IPS display and good battery life?
>>54650821
it's not
you're just poor, and can't/don't want to afford them
>>54650821
Isn't that exactly what the one in the OP post is?
>>54648021
Hmm reviews say the keyboard is actually pretty good
>>54647234
Buy a Carbon X1 OP
>>54646759
This other OP and friends proved it's the official notebook of /g/, this isn't even I joke, I legitimately can't fault the points they've raised
>>54647234
convertables are shit
>>54651185
>2000€
It's 3x as much as the Yoga
>>54651260
Care to elaborate? The idea that you can use a convertable more convenient in bed seems nice
>>54647292
>using the smiley with a carat nose
>>54651265
Also 3x as better
>>54651275
>Glossy screen
>Touchscreen
Not even once. Also instead of getting two things designed for a sole purpose you're getting a meet-me-in the middle half baked version of each in one,
Just get a regular laptop and use your phone in bed
