Is Louis OK?

>>55555285
He's a bit paranoid but he had a hard life, so I'd give him a pass.
He looks ok to me
I'm looking for a new small laptop for travel.
I recently bought a Thinkpad T61 because of the Richard Stallman memes, installed Middleton and an SSD, and the whole thing is heavy, and feels clunky and slow. I could probably get around $150 for it with the modifications.
I'm looking for something that runs ubuntu well, is fast, and under 13", budget is under $400. I don't game at all but I'm looking for an i5 or better processor, at least 4GB of RAM. I'm okay with buying an older machine but not something so old it doesn't work properly with the latest LTS.
What do you suggest?
Thinkpad X220.
I'd have suggested an EeePC 1201N (Atom 330/ION) but that's only if you are on a fucktight budget.
>>55555384
Is the x230 any good?
>>55556105
I don't know man. I went from a X220 to a X250 and the "awful keyboard problem" people were talking about isn't THAT much of a problem. I miss the back/next page keys and my usual layout but the new key shape is way better in my opinion.
Though I think there's a difference between the 30 series keyboard and the 40/50 series one, something something about chassis.
i'll start

It depends on what you need a monitor for
>>55554942
Dumb meme retard.
Also either use the golden rectangle or 21:9. Anything besides that suks.
Hi /g/. I use Arch and Linux in general for a long time, but I'm a bit bored of it. It's really good, I have a good setup, I like many things about it but I don't really feel productive at all. Most of the software on Linux is destinated to developers and the few that are for video and photo editing lack features or have bugs. How is Windows 10? I'm thinking about installing it, but I don't like all that botnet. I don't know what the fuck I should do, Linux doesn't inspires me to be productive, Windows is a bit botnet. I really need some opinions right now. I could sell my data but at least do something useful.
Pic not related
If you're sick of arch, you probably should move to OpenBSD for unparalleled productivity.
>>55554880
Just install Windows 7 and don't install the 3 bad updates (or more ifk). W10 literally does nothing better than it

Toyota Hilux doesnt have this problem. They don't sell it in USA though.
Ok, I just bought a new rig, and I'm trying to install windows 10 from a usb flash drive, that I created with the microsoft tool. When I don't get "windows is not able to install windows here, make sure you select the right stuff blah blah" thing (I have selected the right stuff), it seems like it install it, and right after it says that it needs to reboot to continue, it reboots, but starts with the installation yet again. When I tried to remove the flash drive when the timer for the reboot was going on, after tht I got the message that there are no bootable drives and whatnot. WHAT THE FUCK? It's a fresh WD Caviar Blue 1TB damn it.

install gentoo
Might be better to just take it to the Geek Squad. They'll get it installed for you.
Right to the point, /g/:
Is the Toshiba HDTS325XZSTA SDD trustworthy?
I usually trust toshiba, my external HDD and zip disquettes are made by them
Samsung or die
Why not just go 850 EVO?

wut
>>55554650
Damn, you have to click one extra button to get to your resolution? May as well just go install Linux, amirite?
>>55554702
Just thought it was strange, considering everyone understands resolution but not DPI scaling.
Maybe it was done this way to prevent moms from setting display to 800x600 since they can see it better
