nah there are definitely certain kinds of soft-touch coatings that disintegrate into a gross mess of sticky crumbs of their own accord, even if you put them in a climate-controlled exhibition case

i don't know which thinkpads might use those. my yoga doesn't. it's all either shiny black or subtly textured gray. don't have the material swatches with me rn but i wanna say like a mold-tech 11010, maybe a little softer

don't the rubbery coatings just turn into a disgusting adhesive sludge in a few years?

that's sony, and it happens with virtually every soft-touch rubber thing they made/make. particularly the feet on the blueish/silver Vaios will turn to sticky plastic goop that's impossible to get off anything

The rubbery coating sounded nice for the retro, don't know how people like plastic aka "carbon" otherwise.

There's a rubbery coating on my standard T470

it's a piece of electronics, so you can't just assign it to any particular architectural movement.

if i had to classify it ("it" being the original thinkpad from 1992) as being inspired by certain well-defined directions, i'd trace it back to american modernism (e.g. the International Style), with the significant bauhaus influences that implies. this makes sense given the era in which the original designer, richard sapper, was the most productive. iirc he also claimed that it was inspired by a japanese bento box, so there's some essence of traditional japanese aesthetics in there.

i had the 17" mbp and it was huge like xbox but it died. the good part is its so big is that its corpse is used as easily identified props/set dressing in many plays now. reads from the back row. simple. gutted that bitch and jammed a remote control led in there behind the logo. A+

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
after the rubbery coating on my x220 started wearing off, I plastdipped it white, and then blue, and now white again. x220 supremacy.

laptops come in different sizes to satisfy different requirements

personally I prefer a 17" and I might buy a 19" if such a thing existed. but, conceptually, I understand why other people prefer 12 or 15 inches

simply purchase

the most common death mode is for the ati graphics to fail

apple won't repair it, but you can install linux on it and just disable the ati graphics at boot time :q:

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

do you ever make the logo glow special colors to fit the mood of your plays? like maybe make it turn blood red during a murder scene, pulsating pink during a love scene, etc?

you might have a new star on your hands!
