Post ITT to complain about the largest Chinese personal computer oem manufacturer leanovo (their new craptops make the appel mac book air look fat, get it) ruining your childhood the least terrible series of portable personal computers previously known as the International Business Machines Think Pad.

* Bemoan the loss of the clamshell display bezel, so now your laptop can't fit inside the screen anymore

* Cry yospos a river over the new and redesigned roll cage (what do you mean my laptop is not supposed to be used as a hammer?)

* Rage about the loss of the thinklight, the only computer integrated reading light

* 16:10 4:3 screens never four get (also TN panels definitely forget)

* Call for the murder of every keyboard designer except for one (any one)

* Educate the brainless masses about how they flipped the Thinkpad logo and added a red LED to pander to the lowest common denominator

* 7th row for Home/End/Insert/Del/PgUp/PgDwn :argh:

* Pictured: The Devil Incarnate


and now they couldn't even reintroduce the buttons right~



oh and the pc is dead long live the tablet pc~~~

i think what it means is it used to be flatter when it was closed. the bottom half went a bit inside the screen part when closed and now it doesn't

i actually bought a used t430s instead of a t440s because I hate the implementation of the trackpoint button clickpad on our lab's neverending supply of l540s so much

that said the implementation of trackpoint buttons on the clickpad is only sort of awkward and not completely unuseable so i could have been way more terrible so if you're not a trackpoint purist it's probably ok

yeah when i last bought a laptop i specifically picked a lenovo model that had a clitless keyboard, then below it a touchpad, then below that two touchpad buttons. they had a bunch of other models with other configurations and they were all dumb

they have a new and innovative texture an annoying texture that got toned down a cheap knockoff of a crapple glass trackpad with awkward clicking a trackpad in a weird shape because gotta have 3cm of unused empty space behind the keyboard and 1cm in front of the trackpad so no chance for having a larger less poo poo trackpad and buttons at the same time

i kinda like how the solution to "the display flexes and breaks the panel" has been "make the panel more flexible" first and "make the display flex less" second

thinkpads are less crap than most other laptops but holy poo poo i've never seen another so called business laptop with a similarly floppy screen

and apparently people like paying double market price for ssd upgrade instead of buying their own and upgrading it themselves and saving $100 and getting a spare spinner.

AND make the stupid plastic bottom case a pain in the rear end to take off. hfhfjiewojshdjfuf oh yeah and how about we throw a 16 gig flash drive randomly in the computer somewhere. people need that, right????? gggggggggggggggg

what is your problem with a clumsy attempt at covering up the lack-off-ssd problem

in tyool 2014, the thin-and-light-with-long-battery-life model of an expensive laptop line advertised as especially durable is the perfect place to put a spinning drive

widescreens dictate less rows on keyboards, we cannot allow a reduction in empty space on the laptop

the x-series has been going downhill after the x201. the touchscreen starts clicking randomly after a year and sometimes less on x220s, x230s and x240s. idk if they even offer 3 year warranties anymore. lenovo has been riding the thinkpad brand into the ground and just coasting on its previous reputation

The college I work has a student laptop program and I've been running it for about 6 years. We've been rolling out Thinkpads for years and I agree, the x201 was the last good one. Even then the x200/201 had problems. I had a lot of them end up with bad fans which also meant the mobo might have a problem. I really didn't like the touchpad on the x201. Unfortunately they made it worse on the x220. x230 started using the poo poo keyboards. The x240 is just bad in every way. I have one sitting right here on my desk and I hate it.

Personally, my favorite x-series is the x60 or x61. Small, compact, no gimmicks. It's just a goddamn laptop. I'd love to see a Thinkpad that size but with modern guts.

but that would require building a laptop for useability and not for bullet point features and focus groups

actually on my w540, if you end up without the specific drivers (such as in windows recovery) you can only click in the bottom left corner even though the whole touchpad clicks down. if you try to click anywhere else it just won't register. lol

the t440 series was when lenovo tried to make a macbook. Obviously, they had to reduce their quality down to Apple levels to do that, but that's not really what I want in a computer.

also it was a failure in every way, since no amount of clickpads can make a black box attractive to hipsters and the wider mack community (but i am repeating myself)

my old work-issued lenovo laptop did this and the first time it happened the computer got stuck in "scroll up" mode and i spent 2 days being unable to view websites longer than my screen before i figured out what was going on (i mostly used a wireless mouse so i didn't accidentally fix it)
