Instead, I loathe what I've been forced to buy I don't think anyone forced you to buy anything, unless someone was holding a gun to your head and made you buy a laptop.

The original X1 was like a T420s but stuck with a chiclet keyboard, 1366x768 screen, and glossy Gorilla Glass layer. Not quite. The original ThinkPad X1 was a very interesting experiment, as it was the first time after the X301 that Lenovo tried to put out a more "high end" flagship series. So real...

I bet you it's called Ice Lake because Intel's progress in CPU performance is as stagnant as an Ice Lake. Haha :mrgreen: That is funny for two reasons: 1. In reality, Ice Lake promises to be the biggest Intel CPU update in years 2. Ice Lake will be the first generation with the new "Sunny Cove" arc...

8th Gen CPU though? I'd expect x90 series to use newer CPUs. Unless Intel is releasing yet another '8th Gen' iteration. That is the case. Since Intel had to postpone the release of 10 nm "Ice Lake" CPUs to late 2019/early 2020, they released a stop-gap measure called "Whiskey Lake". These newer CPU...

Granted it can look like it, if you are sensitive to prejudice, but I do not believe the TP forum members are of those prejudices. Considering that someone in this very thread posted the nonsense "great replacement" right-wing conspiracy theory, I have my doubts about it. There are many ethical pro...

If a policymaker has data about a certain group of people, it isn't really a generalization in my mind. For example: Migrants from the Maghreb states (Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya) are very high up in the crime statistic. Now, it would be a generalization (or specialization, call it what you wil...

This is not correct. It is correct, because it says "hardly any", which means that there have only been a few. I have zero sympathy for such scumbags. Oh, I can sympathize with people who seek a better life very easily. Of course, using the asylum system for that is wrong, so sending people back wh...

Rumor is that this years generation is delayed because of Intel's supply issue (source: Lenovo retailer who posts in the German ThinkPad Forum). That is why the X1 models will only be released mid year and why the other models have not been announced yet. These models will definitely get announced a...

Stop trying to deny there is a problem. Or in which world do you live? I am not denying any problems though, I just dislike the nefarious generalizations and crazy conspiracy theories that people like you are peddling, which in turn leads to people like the German man in Bottrop to become violent a...

Actually, no, you are wrong. It is in the case of the incident in Bottrop that the media reported that this man was probably mentally ill, because he apparently had was in some clinic once. Meanwhile, in the Amberg case, there is a massive campaign on social media to instrumentalize this incident. N...

Funny though to see information posted about the incident in Amberg here, but not about the right-wing terrorist attack of a German citizen that also happened on New Years Eve. This attack, where a 50 year old German man tried to kill people with migration background with his car (by driving into gr...

FHD is just a lot more common than WUXGA. Also, back in the day, many office monitors had the resolution 1,680 x 1,050 (WSXGA+). When 16:9 came around, those weren't replaced by 1,600 x 900 (HD+), but by 1,920 x 1,080. Obviously, this is a comparison that is a lot more favorable for FHD – might be a...

Voted for 1,920 x 1,080, because this is the resolution of my current desktop monitor. Not that it really is better than 3,820 x 2,160, but it is a very common resolution and also has some advantages for PC games (which I still occasionally like to play). As powerful as my ThinkPad P51 is, games in ...

For the X300 and X301 I doubt that the crappy LCD panel was to save money, but instead to minimize weight and extend battery duration. Had Lenovo wanted to save money, they would have opted for 1280x800 or 1366x768. I would say it probably was chosen to save money. It was a custom made 13.3" 16:10 ...

And everyone SAYS you gotta upgrade to the latest gen CPU....well I gotta say I have rarely told the difference between an i5-2540M and an i5-5300U. Of course that is the case. The i5-2540M is a 35 W CPU, while the i5-5300U is a low-voltage chip that only consumes 15 W. It is actually slightly slow...

It is true that OLED has some technical disadvantages compared with IPS LCD screens, but it wasn't dropped because of these small problems. It was dropped because Samsung stopped making the screens.

It is not very well known today, but IBM used to make its own displays under the brand-name IDTech. Notably, they made the IPS Flexview screens for late IBM ThinkPads as well as the "Big Bertha" monitor. IBM withdrew from the joint-venture, because it was unprofitable for them.

What I personally find more interesting about this device than the leather is the way the display rotates into a tablet (as seen in this video ). Thats a great design and it reminds me a little bit about the old "ThinkPad Houdini" concept . So, kudos to HP for being innovative. Too bad that they did...

There was absolutely nothing religion induced in the Balkans during the 90s. The Serbs simply wanted to execute their dream of "Great Serbia." It had very little to do with religion. It had everything to do with Serbian imperialism, which failed miserably btw. That is kinda true – religion had almo...

I suppose the latest CPUs will turn up in much the same range ? Yes. In fact, the next ThinkPad generation will use "Whiskey-Lake", which is a very small update of the Kaby-Lake-Refresh chips in current models. With the 2019 ThinkPads, the interesting changes are anything but the CPU. Speaking of t...

ThinkPad keys are made out of ABS plastic, the smooth kind for backlit keys and the rougher type for non-backlit ones. Problem is, I don't know what they are. Are there any good scissor-switch keyboards out there with a firm backplate, such as metal? Apart from the ThinkPad Compact external one (whi...

I am wondering about the mechanism: is it a scissor-switch? Yes, its still scissor-switch (which is the same mechanism as old ThinkPad keyboards). Also, which is the 'best' Lenovo Thinkpad-style external keyboard? In terms of external keyboards with a TrackPoint, besides the ThinkPad USB / Bluetoot...

T460p, T470p, T480 and the T480s all feature dGPUs and quad-core chips. Also, there is the X1 Extreme / P1 as a 15.6 inch machine with dedicated graphics & no numpad, but if the T460p is already too expensive, these won't be an option. If you want more GPU performance and can't afford new T series m...

I think it may be true in some cases, but is not universally true. I didn't claim it was universally true. The Islamist ideology is as old as Q'ran which very clearly defines the required behaviour and actions of believers in varying situations. All we're seeing today is a renewed attempt to create...

Of course, you can be a racist for disliking Muslims. Racism is motivated by the sense of belonging to a gro...

Since it has a clunkpad it must be an xx40 machine. Good thinking in principle, but there are non-xx40 machines with the clickpad. Namely the T431s, X230s, S431, S531, E431 and E531. The pictured machine has a single wide bar-hinge with a 14 inch screen – only the S models used this design. Since i...

Obviously, it's a ThinkPad S3

If it isn't a S431, it's a S440. Both models were named "S3" in China.

have T470p; any way to fit the 7-row keyboard from Thinkpad 25??

No. The ThinkPad 25 is based on the T470, which has a completely different design – its incompatible.
