It's simple for me: no Trackpoint, no buy.

Agreed 100%.

No worse than biden's "no they (the voters) don't have a right to know" whether or not he will try to "pack" the supreme court. if fact biden is being very disingenuous there.

Agreed. Why can't he just answer the darn question?

Currently a big fan of Kitchen Dwellers.... I have seen them in person once in VT and they were great!

That is a really neat paint job - Typically i enjoy the black chasis of the Thinkpad line, but this is really cool. Great work!

that is an awesome setup! Looks like it took a while to complete, very nice and unique!

Very good experience with user swallman for his Thinkpad X230. Shipped very quick and exactly as described. Thanks man!

Thanks for the kind message teamde78, it was very nice transacting with you too. Very glad you like your new T470....I see from your sig that it's your new daily driver -- may it serve you well!

Haha yes! Could not be happier - Thanks again!

I was always more into the games on the computer. I did have an Xbox but never really found myself to be as fond of playing the Xbox compared to the MMORPG online games on the computer. I always enjoyed the human interaction part of these games, but overall did just do not have the time nor energy t...

By any chance do you travel a lot for work? In some companies, I noticed they will use the X1 for the travelers within the organization and give more of the Thinkpad T series to those who are in the office all the time. If you do travel, any comments on the overall effectiveness of the lightweight a...

Linux version 4.9.0-6-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07)

Good ol' Debian

Great choice- Debian was my distro of choice before I discovered Arch (and I have been hooked ever since!).

What do I do with Linux? I Live as free individual with no concerns for viruses or other malware. The software available for Linux has development effort of free individuals that reside in a worldwide community.

Very well put - forgot to include this in my post as well

GomJabbar You should have suspected a bad keyboard first. Unless there's traces of coffee in the X220's system board, there's a good that it still works. Hindsight is always 20-20 they say. A teaspoonful (more or less) of coffee was spilled on the lower right area of the keyboard, around the arrow ...

Web browsing, code editing, etc... pretty much everything that you do on Windows but on Arch Linux with dwm

Choice...one of the great benefit of Linux and also a weakness as some people don't like having a choice.

OR asking everyone and their mother which distro is best for them - again only the individual can determine what his or her individual needs may be

What's a good distro for T60/T61/Frankenpad-type (or core 2 duo era period) machines? Basically one that works 100% out of the box and is lightweight yet functional? Any distro usually works with the age of machine, the decision is which WM/DE interface you want to use. Some distros like debian or ...

any quick pics of the machine? I have been looking into a X230 for some time and like how you have 2 ssd's already installed.

Thanks!

Currently running Arch on my T440p with dwm. Took some time configuring - but pretty much customized it to my liking. Really happy with it so far and no major issues.

But if budget is important, then the T420 (with 1600x900) will do you fine for yet a few years. I agree with this - I had a T420 before driving it into the ground for some time in addition to my T430. As much as I don't *mind* the T430 chiclet keyboard - it definitely is not the same as the T420 ke...

I was using my X220 on a Sunday morning almost 2 weeks ago and spilled a little coffee on the keyboard. It worked fine for several hours, then I put it in Hibernation while I left the house for a few hours. When I came back, the power on button didn't do anything. No lights or indicators showing wh...

Just wanted to give a shoutout to tpdude4 for a very pleasant transaction for a Thinkpad T470. PC came as described and shipped very well. Very professional communication. Overall, very pleased. Thanks again!

Very nice find. I always enjoy taking a look at older machines. You never know what you may find. The thrift store is definitely a great place to look.

Really enjoying the legacy theme! Very nice work and thanks!

I don't like the new look. At all. Way too bright and shiny, and not in a good way IMO. Having everything that was on the left now on the right is also not something I'm thrilled about. Makes reading and posting more difficult IMO. The functionality of the forum itself - now that the bugs have been...

Overall I am seeing much fast loading times and the theme is appealing to the eyes.

I think it will just take time however to get use to the author's info on the right instead of the left. I see this as being the biggest challenge for me.

Overall though I think it is an improvement!

Great looking machines! Nice work on the upgrades.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience, TankPad and teamde78! I will spend USD600 max to get my first Thinkpad. My preference on screen size is >=14". Mobility is to be considered because I will carry laptop in backpack while travelling by motorcycle. Is W520 too much to carry around? How ...
