>why most of programmers choose lenovo
Achtually, most of us choose Apple. Just saying.
>>54309554
the actual question is
"why is thinkpad such a popular choice?"
lurk more
if youve been on /g/ for a while youll eventually read on anons opinions on why theyre good laptops
>>54309706
so, the main cause is technical
characteristics or other special
features?
I'm hacking 4chans mainframe on my T420 as we speak.
Don't come to 4chan tomorrow.

Literally brand whoreism exactly like designers using apple. Asus and Dell make much better business grade laptops.
Best <$300 laptops out there.
Build quality can't be fucking matched

That would be the Razer Blade Stealth
cuz the thinkpad, hp elitebook, and dell latitude are commonly bought by major corporations and offices then sold for dirt cheap in excellent quality. like $150 for a t420.
NASA famously uses it on the ISS, and overall it's pretty ok. if you want a desktop replacement go for something else, but $150 for a 64 bit, 3 gigs of ram, 2.5 ghz, new laptop? fuck it, why not?

Cheap as fuck to get older ones, as business buy them in bulk then sell them for a low price as businesses can't really spend the effort to sell and negotiate them for higher prices, they just want them gone out of there warehouses and get a little bit back
Their build quality and durability is also legendary, as is their linux support
The only downside is the Final Real Thinkpad, the t420, has a totally garbage screen, and anything older is starting to be pretty slow these days
>>54310221
at least we only pay $200 for our brand whorism instead of $2000

Are you talking about IBM ThinkPads or Lenovo?

Even pre-430 model Lenovos have good linux support. They even got coreboot working on a 420 I believe
