New T Series Fan

#1 Post by MikalE » Sun Sep 13, 2015 10:02 pm

I have recently been bitten by the T series bug.

A couple of years ago i bought a refurbed E530 and it's been a good machine, though it's no T series. I replaced the HD in that one a few months ago and reloaded the OS from an .iso because my backups were trashed.

Then late last month I stumbled onto a T500 on e-bay. I was amazed at how much computer you could get for pennies on the dollar after corporate entities dump these computers onto the market through refurbers.

After getting the T500 up and running (no OS) I got to looking around some more and discovered the T510 and bought one of those too. It arrived last Thursday.

Next up is going to be a T520, and until Lenovo brings back this older style keyboard, or the Retro Thinkpad I've been reading about, it will be the last T series I buy. When I buy this T520 it's going to be the highest-end system I can find.

Great place you have here for T series addicts like me.
T510 i5, T510 i7 4349-A64 - T520 i7 4242-4UU, technically a CTO now.

Wait until you've discovered the X series or W series or...well, you get the picture... :twisted:

Hi!

First....i thought....oh, a like of really new thinkpad....such as launched 2012 and earlier....but then....as i read furthermore....ahh....even another one with no in touch with nowadays thinkpad...such as produced since 2012...

me, i have tried/ owned several models....types..T23..T43....T61...X61....X61s....X200s....X201....and for now i have found my two favorite machines...T410s and T420s (one of the last produced...it has been produced in may 2012)...

The modern thinkpad are just consumer thinkpad,....the p series just looks interesting...but it has also chiclet....

so i stay on this older machines and hope that there will be a retro or new classic thinkpad...with an keyboard in old style and so on....

So a heavy welcome....and please give an location....unless this your account may be deleted soon...

Kindly,

PandoRa
