See

I think you're right

but I got this t440p for like 100 bucks

And then bought a 1080p IPS panel for like 60

So, value wise

I think it was pretty great

But I would have never paid retail price for thiw

Or even half of retail price

i overpaid for my thinkpad because the seller guarenteed that the battery capacity was good

yeah

Fucking batteries bane of my existence

Buying a battery for this thing that isn't overpriced is so hrad

a new battery and an ultrabay battery is more than half the price that I paid for the laptop to begin with

yeah

I want to get a retina now that they've been replaced by touchbar mcgees

i have an x220

battery is ok

Yeah

it wasnt IPS tho

I would get an X220

which is kind of shitty

IPS is still only 720p right?

yea

768 is the best x220 has

I suppose it's better than 720p TN

There was that mod some guy did where he ripped out the video controller out of an x240 or something

it was so complicated though

I'd probably get an X240

i know that's far beyond the timeline that /g/ accepts for ThinkPads, but eh

With the extended battery, that thing can get 20 hours

how much is garbage battery? i bought a used t420 and got like 5-6 hours

My t440p gets less than 2 hours on windows

So I'm pretty sure it's fucked

But, yeah.

I imagine garbage battery is about the same.

guess i got lucky with the two i bought

or it is the arch meme

Yeah, probably just got batteries that weren't fucked

my t420s gets 2 hours on both windows and linux

Arch Linux 200mb ram idle feelsgoodman

i like thinkpads
