Why does /g/ believe ThinkPads are good? 2 weeks old and stopped booting, just get 3 green blinks from the power button. Rajeesh from support says motherboard needs replaced
>he fell for the Lenovo meme
Lenovo + IBM era = ok
IBM only era = godly
Lenovo only era = mediocre at best

MSI has been making some portable workstation stuff, less gaymer-y crap with decent specs and good build quality.
Maybe a decent Dell or Acer if you're on a budget.
To be honest, laptops today in a regular persons price range are kinda shit.
Old stuff was built to last, as computer technology has been changing much faster than before, quality has gone down because the companies know people will buy new shit every year anyway.
If you had several thousand dollars and wanted a non shit Lenovo thinkpad, W or P series from within the last year.
