There's nothing wrong with the t420 or the x1 hybrid. In fact, the x1 hybrid is one of my best purchases at 800 cad in 2012 and can still get 16 hours of usage in Android mode. That's with only the 3 cell battery, have yet to buy the battery slice.

Purchased so I could finally play...well, any games. The laptop I had before it could handle basically nothing, and this one can play new shit even - though I might need to turn the graphics down a bit for it to be smooth. And then it does all my other computer stuff as well.

I would've gone for a desktop for gaming and kept the laptop for other shit, but I go over to people's houses frequently on my days off and need something portable.

Definitely recommended of you want a sturdy workhorse. Guess you could do some light gaming if you wanted. Never bothered to try.

I use an old HP 635 that I opened up and upgraded. Now it has an AMD Phenom II quad-core cpu @2.2 ghz instead of the previous dual-core @1.8ghz, a solid state drive, and 4gb RAM. Could still add up to 8gb of RAM but it's not really a concern of mine.

I use it to code primarily. For some reason I prefer coding on a laptop than on a full keyboard. All my gayming and files are on my desktop.

Also put ElementaryOS on it for another breath of life (and it's pretty imo), and installed PowerTOP and other battery saving tools to make the old battery last ~3 hours from full charge (assuming moderate use).

The only reason I would care to upgrade is the weight, otherwise this is all anyone really needs if they're not gaming.

I just got a new W540 quad core. It was a distributor refurb but it appears it was never out of the box. It was priced ~$750 but I traded some engineering hours for it. It's sufficient for what I use it for which is managing VMware and prototyping VMs. I also do some light browsing. My desktop tops out at 24gigs of mem while my laptop has 32. My desktop is a 980x monster so there's not much it doesn't do fast if I need it done fast. Everything else is done on the laptop.

Actually not as flimsy as you'd think. I can pick the entire thing by just the display and rotate and shake it without it turning.
I honestly thought it have to change the way I used a laptop, but if you don't intentionally rotate it, it feels like any other hinge, really.
>>54700909
Nah, it'd be nice if there was one, but it's pretty much like any other laptop without it

As seen here, holding it with one hand, partially rotated without it continuing to move though it's weight should cause it to continue to rotate.
What I'm trying to say is, the hinge is really stiff in all directions, but not impossible to accidentally rotate. Just not as easy as you'd think.

Horrible. I had one and it was the worst laptop I've ever *used* much less owned.
>>
>>54709928
Like the build just sucked or what?
>>
>>54709942

Horribly engineered. Shit is just shoved inside with no mind to how it ends up. So, for example, it the weight was heavily biased toward the rear.

Flexy everything. The case flexed, the keyboard flexed, etc.

Shitty finish. The keyboard had some godawful semi-gloss that looks nice at BestBuy, but feels shitty and loads up with fingerprints and smudges.

Constant crashes. For no particular reason, it would just bluescreen. I was able to reduce the frequency by changing some USB setting in the BIOS (disabling "Enable Legacy USB" perhaps? Don't remember). Reporting this to Toshiba resulted in an "oh wow, interesting" non-response.

Shitty sound. They did some promo licensing bullshit deal with Altec Lansing (not even an actually respectable audio company) for the speakers. Well, they sounded like shit. They were just generic drop-in speakers. Compare that to, for example, a Macbook Pro, which will have a very carefully engineered chamber to maximize performance. A Lenovo T420, on the other hand, has simple drop-in speakers, but at least they don't try to market themselves as something they're not.

I had a Toshiba satellite. What annoyed the fuck out of me is that it got extremely hot while playing videogames and the fan air blows out of right side right on to my hand.

Oh yes, it also did blue screen a lot, the sound often decided to not come out of my headphones but my speakers (very awkward when my laptop suddenly starts blasting Whitehouse in the middle of class), it would turn itself on in the middle of the night, and freeze a lot.
Come to think of it I did not like my Toshiba satellite at all. Toshiba satellite can suck my dick, I'm glad it's dead

I have a battlestation and several crappy test laptops, but the laptop I recently acquired is a very gently used (original battery had 4 cycles on it) ThinkPad x220. Upgraded with SSD and 16 gigs RAM.

I needed something that could run big boy desktop apps, be really portable, and have a huge battery while I'm on trains and planes and far away from home.

Dual-booting Windows and Loonix, for image editing, graphic design, and general shitposting.

I'm an Aussie looking to buy a laptop for reading manga and fanfiction, viewing images and watching the occasional clip online, but I am only able to spend $600 dollars on it, what should I buy and where from?

Also what should I get to protect it from malware and viruses.

This. I use it for everything (have a dock for it).

Additionally I use a X60 when I am not at home and don't want to lift all the weight of the W530.

Also, what are Debian and Gentoo all I find after looking them up is something about Linux which is not something I am familiar with.

Six years going stronk, only had to replace the keyboard once because I spilled a drink over it.

I guess I'll just wait until some relative gets a new laptop and gives me the old one (they always do) to "upgrade".

use it exclusively for on-site work, accessing routers/switches etc.

It's small enough to carry everywhere, battery is good and it looks professional.

For word processing and other basic school tasks, absolutely not. It can run Aero smooth as butter, and that's about the most demanding thing I'll be asking of it.

Baby duck syndrome. I have a Debian dualboot but no reason to use it. Probably gonna be deleting that partition sooner or later.

Search ebay or whatever for "8800P" or "7500P"

300-500$ laptops, all bells whistles 19-35 watts of heat on lap, plays games on medium or whatever pretty nicely.

Dell Latitude E6420, and I use it basically for everything because it's rock solid and gets the job done.

And with the CompleteCare warranty if I needed service Dell would send someone to my home to fix it. Or I could just destroy it right now by throwing it off my 3rd floor balcony and watching cars drive over it shattering it into a million fucking pieces, call Dell, say "I dropped it, I need another one..." and within 72 hours I'll have a new one at my door, no questions asked.

Why bother with any other company or products?

Yeah I was always hyped about these toys since childhood.
HP Probook 6475b
Finally bought a used one for 200€, last june.
It had quite good specifications for my taste:
RAM: 4GB
Processor: AMD 2,7GHz
Hard drive: 500GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7520G
but it freezes every now and then and I don't know why (sometimes within a minute and sometimes within 4 hours, it's unpredictable).
I brought it back to the seller which he was supposed to repair it. He "repaired" and tested it 4 times now, but it still keeps freezing. He even said he swapped the ram and hard drive after repairing it.
Also gave it to my friend but he had no luck either, we just formated the beast a few times.
I've written down the errors but they're long gone since I gave them to those guys along with the laptop.
Now it's just sitting ducks, harvesting dust - I don't use it anymore, except sometimes for skype while playing on main PC or doing other minor things, all I can do is just feel sorry for this machine because it can't work to it's expectations.
Now that I doubt that I can repair it, I've been thinking of selling the parts so I don't stand out as another asshole who sold a malfunctioning toy to another unlucky man.

MacBook. Super thin fast and efficient. Fanless design with a great keyboard that doesn't require much travel and is actually incredibly fluid to type with. Everything else is actually a meme if you don't need the horsepower and a fan and all that jazz

works for what I do, needed a cheap laptop to remote around, almost nothing is really run right from the laptop. there's also a couple things that concerned me at first that I later learned were by design such as the power button having a light pipe with no LED because it's a cheap system in a re-used case.

HP DV7, Arch Linux, light browsing.
would not recommend any consumer grade hp laptops, only business or enterprise grade, those kick ass.

that being said on a 9 cell battery i get 14 hours of good use.
