Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", lightweight

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>They’re really cheap when you buy a used one.
>Keyboards feel excellent while typing (yes, even the newer ones).
>Great durability thanks to the inclusion of rollcages and use of glass fiber reinforced plastic for the chassis. The keyboard is splash proof and spilled liquids will drain out.
>Utilitarian design - e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking solutions that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for almost every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing on the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Okay, so I discovered my ex in my contacts has a snapchat account listed under a guy's name with a black guy's picture. Only one snapchat account can be associated with a number, right? I'm trying to figure out if this is coincidental or there can be no mistake and she is pretending to be a black guy. She got this number a few weeks ago.
Okay

That's probably her new BF, sorry dude.
Conclusion is posted first if you don't care for reading the whole summary.
>Conclusion
>is the Priv the long-overdue messiah BlackBerry so desperately needs to regain some ground in the mobile realm? Well, sadly, there is no easy answer. While the Priv is a nice device on its own, its nature, purpose, and target audience and its position within the BlackBerry protfolio is riddled with ambiguity, which hopefully won't prove too confusing and detrimental to the model's success.
>there is the issue of price - if popularity is what BlackBerry is after, a €700 plus price point won't exactly invite a huge crowd considering that profit margins throughout the whole industry are slimming down.
>The underwhelming Android experience is another brow raiser..if you go into a store today and shell out the eye-watering amount of money for the Priv, you might naturally expect it to at least perform up to par with let's say a Galaxy S6 flagship, an iPhone 6s or any other hip device.
>But that is just it. The Priv might not shine as a tempting everyday user offer, but perhaps we should endeavor to look at it from another perspective, a quintessentially BlackBerry one and that would be as an enterprise-grade secure communication tool.
> Whether or not the Priv will be met with approval and set BlackBerry on a new development path is yet to be seen, but it is undeniable that despite its flaws, it is currently one of the best business smartphones out there.
>As for the Priv in its current state of infancy, you should definitely not miss on buying it if you already have a complete BlackBerry collection of your own or you use BlackBerries throughout your entire company.
>For one, the rounded corners of the screen really spice things up. It is the first such undertaking in the otherwise flat BlackBerry family and if nothing else it is definitely a bold and progressive move. Still, the curve is quite subtle - nothing too excessive or way overboard
>the BlackBerry Priv definitely has a lot of it. It measures 147 x 77.2 x 9.4mm, when retracted, which isn't all that bad by today's standards, but sliding it out makes it virtually impossible to reach to top corners of the screen, no matter how long your thumbs can stretch.
>The phone weighs in at 192g, but it doesn't really feel bulky of heavy. Weight is nicely distributed and even when the slide is open, the Priv remains well balanced and allows a secure hold. The grippy back certainly helps.
>Speaking of materials however, sadly there is a lot more to be desired. Don't get us wrong, plastic works great and we have seen OEM's achieve incredible things with it, but we have just come to expect more at this price range and rightfully so, since the competition is more than happy to oblige.
>While the Priv feels sturdy enough and well put together for the most part, it is made of plastic all around. That's not necessarily as bad as it sounds if it were of higher than average quality. Sadly, that's not the case and the material used on the back is way too soft and really prone to scratching. It's also quite flexible and gives in a lot more than we would have liked when pressed.
>We also noticed some less than perfect hole cuttings on the front speaker grill, which is simply unacceptable with today's precision cutting equipment.
>While the slider works smoothly enough, it is far from sturdy and has some inherent wobble to it (although pretty miniscule) from the very beginning, which might spell trouble in the long run.
>Overall, BlackBerry could have done better with materials and crafting. Everything looks well enough, but upon closer inspection, it is not exactly flagship-grade.
>The slider: If we didn't already make it clear, we really enjoy this throwback to a forgotten time when this form factor flourished on the phone market. Despite the aforementioned minor concerns about the durability of the mechanism itself, we can safely say that BlackBerry has done an excellent job implementing the form factor and adopting it for a large-screen device.
>So getting to the keyboard is simple enough, but is it any good? Well yes and no. Build-quality is great, it looks nice with the subtle backlight illumination and individual keys are surprisingly comfy with a well-defined 3d texture, nice physical feedback and tolerable key travel. The only real problem with the keyboard is that it is just too small. It is definitely more crammed than most other BlackBerry devices and key travel is far from what fans will be used to as well.
>We do realize, however, that this is purely subjective aspect and your experience may vary greatly depending on the size of your thumbs. Plus, a few hours in using the Priv is bound to recover some of that old muscle memory and typing becomes a breeze.
>Rather surprisingly, we actually found ourselves using the keyboard as a means of keeping our fingers off the screen even when not typing on most occasions. It excels at that thanks to built-in capacitive touch functionality. Simply swipe your finger across the keys in any direction and you can easily scroll across most any interface and it works great.
>Furthermore, there is the added nifty ability to assign shortcuts to each and every separate key. So, you could pretty much have all of your routine actions hot linked in a way that allows you to completely keep your hands off the screen.

Hey guys, I was wondering how I can make this build cheaper? Its way to expensive for what I have atm.
Step 1) don't buy case

Step 3) profit
Alternatively,
Step 1) don't buy ram
Step 2) don't buy GPU
Step 3) kek
>>51787034
Why are you even asking this question? Just buy cheaper parts dumb fuck

I got beer in my build, it will not turn on. Absolutely no reaction.
I can clearly see corrosion on a small part of the motherboard, I think the liquid did not get anywhere else.
My question is:
What parts of my PC are likely broken (or probably not affected)?
Will replacing the motherboard be enough?
>>51786815
lowqualitybait.pnjpg
>>51786815
>tried to turn it on
You fucking retard I hope it is broken
>>51786815
its hard to tell what the fuck im looking at. Is that a PSU and the out take fan? or just the bototm of the case and the gpu? Take a bigger picture. Also it will most likely be fine as long as you dont give it power. Let it dry and then try it. If you tried turning it on while beer was in it then your fucked, because iot most likely shorted. Im guesisng a new motherboard/ whatever part its on will be needed.

Why would they spend their money this way and not on R&D or in lobbying for Net Neutrality. Or are they just using their dispensable money for liberal causes like they'd spend it on Ferraris and mansions?

also I need a good TeX-editor. any recommendations?
>>51786508
>Any recommendations
gentoo fa.m
I use texmaker and i like it.
Sublime has some packages that make great for TeX.
>>51786549
Is there a way to implement MikTeX or do I have to get every single package manually? It's been a huge pain in the ass the last time I wanted to setup Tex on a Linux machine..
Have you experience with TexStudio?
