What kind of reactions can I expect when I use my thinkpad in public?

You have the compromised, consumer trash edition of a thinkpad. Nobody gives a fuck about you or your shit laptop.

companies can ask you to leave the premises. people seem to misunderstand the bill of rights as this far-reaching set of laws that prevents anyone else from telling you what to do. in reality, all of them simply limit the legislature from legislating certain laws.
the coffee shop can tell you to pack up your shit and leave for having a certain sticker on your laptop, or for carrying a gun, or for not consenting to a totally arbitrary search of your bag.
they have a right to do whatever they want on their property. just because they run a business doesn't make them a public good, subject to the public's niggardly behavior (in this case, strutting around with a gun to intimidate people since your presence alone doesn't command enough respect)

>What kind of reactions can I expect when I use my thinkpad in public?
Well, that depends on two things:
What kind of thinkpad, and yourself.
As long as it's something new-ish and normal sized (like the X1 pictured), or a T420, or heck, even a T61), no one will care. As long as it is not covered in 100 autism stickers. If you have something "really exotic", like a tablet version with a swivel hinge, everyone forgot about nowadays, or something small (aka, just a normal fucking ultraportable laptop with a sane aspect ratio, e.g. X61), or something really old or fat (e.g. Butterfly, or oldschool X-series + slice/ultrabase, W700DS) you might get some curious questions of people that want to know what you have.
so nothing bad will happen.
Now on the other hand, if you are a fat, sweaty fedora and/or neckbeard, you will get looks, but certainly not because of your thinkpad, but rather because of your waifu you are carrying, the leather coat you are wearing, or your fucking katana, or you general appearance that is an insult to any set of eyes, but not your choice of latop.

>>55218495
From time to time, also depending on your stickers, people will start a conversation and it's up to you to maintain it.
I mean, it happened once in two years, but this guy was cool as fuck. Unsurprisingly, he was running GNU/Linux and concerned about civic rights, mass surveillance, etc. I wonder what he's become.

I bring my Thinkpad X200 with me wherever and the only reaction from the past two years was from some autistic girl in class because it wasnt the school issued laptops I was using lmao. Otherwise nobody cares, everybody else usually has a macbook and is usually typing shit out in MS Word while eating
Too bad I can't use my t440s anywhere outside my room because of the disgusting touchpad that is super loud when clicking
I could replace that shit already but I'm afraid because I still have one year of warranty
>>55219505

What am I doing wrong? Do I need an autistic logo on it for it to be cool?
>>55219572

>>55219584
Good point. I should bring my mechanical keyboard everywhere I go.
>>55219572
I think the Y50 still looks like a pretty normal laptop. Great laptop though, good choice. My Alienware sticks out because it looks like a space ship door and has the glowing alien head on it.
>>55219595
Yeah it's awesome.
I got it for only 500 too, which is a sweet deal for the 50hz ips 4k display, the 4710hq and the 860m.
>>55219611
god damn, where'd you find that deal? Used?
>>55219625
yeah, but in perfect condition. The only problem was that the air filter was a little dirty.
It's just an undercover agreement between nerds: you see someone at the uni with a TP and you know he probably knows something about computers. Other than that, the vast majority of people will just not care

Depends on where in public.
In my CS programme, a lot of people use thinkpads for programming. Among with macbooks, I'd say they're the most common laptops you'll see here.
But that's at university. It's different elsewhere.
When I sit in the bus, nobody uses a laptop ever, so if I started pulling out my T420, people would look for sure, just because it's odd to see someone use a laptop in the bus

I'd unironically cop that 4k glossy screen if it didn't literally mean 4 hours of battery life.
Why is the macbook the only laptop with the perfect screen res and battery?
>>55220637
Cause it's the only one with a proper os.
Install windows on a rmbp on you don't even get 4h of battery instead of 7h+ with the same usage on osx.
>>55220694
It's not about the OS f4m, it's about that 94Whr battery that they crammed in there driving half the pixels of the xps15.
2560 is the perfect resolution, 94Whr is the perfect battery, but Jesus Christ that's not worth 2800€ instead of 1800€

It is absolutely about the OS. OSX can be targeted for a very very small range of specs so they have time to optimise for things like battery life.

I'm actually reading this on a refurbished XPS 13 that I received yesterday. Fuckin' integrated graphics running Skyrim on high in 1080P at 40 fps. And an awesome touchpad, and a wicked good processor, and a 512GB PCIe SSD, and 16GB of RAM, and a damn good touch screen. Never thought I'd be so stoked on a Dell, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy a current gen MBP. Now I just have to get Linux configured and it'll be perfect.

Using it in public? no reaction at all, nobody cares. That being said, I was with a coworker at lunch, she uses a Dell Inspiron 13 foldy yoga touchscreen thing, and left it at the office. We were talking about work stuff and she wanted to look something up and asked to use my T450S.
After she handed it back, she said. "I don't usually get excited about laptops, but that is a REALLY nice keyboard.

Nobody fucking caring
Thinkpads are the most generic laptops possible. The branding is nearly impossible to see from a distance. Most people only have experience with super old ones in school. The average person seen using a thinkpad in public is a guy in a suit because companies buy them in bulk for their employees (and then they get rid of them in bulk, hence the cheapness).
Nobody will worship you for it. Nobody will hate you for it. The thinkpad is the laptop of laptops.
Now, if you buy a mac, some people will think you're rich/hip, other people will think you have no excuse to be using any apple product but an iphone if you are not female.
>>55220637

>yfw at one time apple thought bogging down the OS with low-load tasks whenever the processor got too hot was a good idea
>>55222463
X2x0 and T4x0 have big extended battery options. You can push T4x0s to almost 100 Watt-hours if you get the biggest one.

I have only gotten one comment on my Thinkpad, and it was by some autist who wanted to know what mods and what OS I was running on my R60. I just told him I was running Linux and stopped talking, and listened ramble on and on about Thinkpads are the greatest ever.

depends on how attractive you are, if you're ugly you NEED a macbook, everything else will make you look at least like a rapist, a thinkpad of all things will make you look like a pedophile
No one really cares if you use on in public, it's an incredibly popular laptop for businesses to give their employees so if anyone ever takes notice to it (pretty unlikely, most people don't care what laptop you use) they'll just assume you're working
