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.

I use a T420 and am wondering what the majority on /tpg/ is. I'm sorry if you're the one guy that uses a W540 or W550. The poll doesn't let you allow more than 30 choices.

X220, but I use my Precision M4800 all the time.

m8 put your answer in the poll, not here :p it doesn't have to be your main computer. preferred laptop is good, though.
it's for gayming and may become my first build. What do you think? Suggestions? Substitutions? Is the cpu powerful?

Oh and I'll buy my own case fans.
And one last thing, budget is below $1100
- Buy and i5 for gaymen
- Asrock is trash, get Asus or Gigabyte
- If it's for gaymen you want at least 8GB RAM
- You don't need to buy windows, just pirate it

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies),
we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's
likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on
making it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-*buntus except vanilla Ubuntu (Unity)
-openSUSE
-LinuxMint (a.k.a Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon)
Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.

Why aren't you using GNUnet, /g?/
From the last thread
Private trackers:
>have to keep up a seed ratio or you're thrown out
>have to attach an account to your searches and requests
>have to trust that the private tracker's owner won't leak your details anywhere
>uploading must be approved
GNUnet:
>no seeding requirement
>no account needed
>no trusted 3rd parties needed
>no way to trace any traffic back to you, unless you set anonymity to 0
>even just searching for content can be done via GNUnet's anonymous protocol
>anyone can publish anything
>no way for publishers to know who's downloading
>no way for downloaders to know who's publishing (except via optional namespaces)
Seems like a clear winner to me.
Hey /gnunet/ senpai don't mind me, I thought I'd come optimize your logos for you.

Can someone tell me what category (bassy, v-shaped, neutral, etc) pic related is in? It's the one I currently have and I want to use it as a reference when I want looking for new headphone or earplug.
How does a TurtleBeach® Earforce® PX22™ compare to the usual /g/ approved headphones? (I got it as a gift from a gaymer friend.)

What are you working on?
If programming languages were religions, what would they be and why?
What's better - Smalltalk or Objective-C?
Answer these and other questions here.
>>51381637
I'm working on a programming language. It's called Valutron.
Valutron is a Lisp. It has two key differences to many other Lisps: it has actual syntax instead of S-expressions all the way down, and I place emphasis on the dynamic Object-Oriented system that is available.
Here is a code example:// let's define a 'get-hello-world' generic
defgeneric get-hello-world (object some-object) => string;
// let's define a 'hello' class
defclass hello (object)
{
slot string hello : initarg hello:;
slot string world : accessor getWorld, initarg world:;
}
defmethod get-hello-world (hello some-object) => string
{
let result = copy(some-object.hello);
append(to: result, some-object.getWorld);
result
}
let aHello = make-instance (hello: "hello", world: "world");
// the arrow -> is an alternative form of method dispatch syntax
print(stdio, aHello->get-hello-world());
Here's the same expressed in CL with CLOS:(defgeneric get-hello-world ((some-object object)))
(defclass hello (object)
((hello :initarg :hello)
(world :initarg :world
:accessor getworld)
)
(defmethod get-hello-world ((some-object hello))
(setq result (copy (hello some-object)))
(append :to result (getWorld some-object))
(result)
)
(setq aHello (make-instance 'hello :hello 'hello :world 'world))
(print stdio (get-hello-world aHello))
>>51381637
I've decided to learn C++.
What would happen if i was to do:double arr[3] = {3.14, 22.7, 6.9};
int *arrp = arr;
arrp += 4; // more elements than there are in the array!
>>51381851
shit, that points to the wrong type. oh well.
