I'm still using a 7 year old thinkpad just because I can't justify buying a laptop that's guaranteed to be worse. At least not until it literally becomes too underpowered for browsing with a single tab.

It annoys me that new laptops have too large flexing track pad without dedicated buttons, even worse when there is zero tactile feedback on borders. And it's unstably slow even on highest sensitivity. Never got used to Track-point since it wasn't much of a thing anymore - it's tricky to be precise and quick.

You claim not to be a gaymer, but then you have Nintento 64 in alongside with your Thinkpad.

That's only the CPU though (which is soldered to the board nowadays), still does not excuse the fact that they are still a pain to open up and swap out their batteries.

I have 3 working x220 Thinkpads, I corebooted them (seabios payload) gave one to my son for university. The other 2 I have (almost) mirrored KDE Plasma Desktop installs, one on top of Arch (daily driver), the other FreeBSD (for consideration). Both run extremely well I also have 2 incomplete x220 bases , both corebooted one is for messing with and building coreboot roms, the other is gonna be turned into a desktop for my daughter, I think the x220 is the sweetspot for Thinkpad supremacy

I remember a time when soft modems became a thing. No non-Windows drivers/software existed at the time. I used an external Hayes to gt around that, and freed up a slot to boot

I've been ThinkPad pilled for about a year now thanks to Mr. Smith. I have a W510 and X201. I'm a little upset at the fact normies push the market towards that sleek design since it is more fragile and inherently more difficult to repair and replace parts. Companies like that since normies will just buy a new laptop or phone or whatever when something needs to be fixed. Ideally it should be robust and modular without having some kind of major firmware difficulty. Great video, Luke!

that comment about girls not liking thinkpads got me thinking. Its highly commodified that women make 90% of consumer choices. Guys would prefer an ugly box but women would be more into colors, sleekness, and less screws on the machine. I guess this is why everything keeps dumbing down now.

Luke, I bought a x220 recently and have been trying to get the DisplayPort to work but having limited success. How do you connect your laptop (running Artix/larbs) up to an external monitor in order to get a higher resolution workspace? Do you tend to find you get more success using VGA?

Then moment I saw your computers. A smile came to my face. I have a similar computer set-up. A personal old X230 & a similar company issued HP.

That X60 and X220 will still be working when that HP piece of junk is e-waste.

This is hilarious.. i just learned of your channel and existence and I'm a former arch user, now a void user that runs dwm and just bought a used thinkpad x220 and vim is my favorite editor. So I'm a fan without even knowing it apparently.

Really love the trackpoint but it is slightly off to the left on my device. Any idea how to fix this?

THAT is pure love, pure love to the thinkpad :3 which i really like. Thank you for making such nice and good content and people should know what real quality is!!!

Dells and HPs of 7+ years also had externally removable batteries and drives. I think the new way helps force the purchase of new laptops more easily.

On my newer laptop, I couldn’t go into UEFI while booting. So annoying! To install Linux, I had to go through the Windows settings only to enter UEFI.

Take a shot every time that he says "boomer".

Having X220 and X230 as my daily driver. UPGRADE Ram and SSD to it and it feels like a new Laptop.

"This is where I actually I keep my old, kid stuff." Confederate flag on the wall....You have been doing this for awhile, haven't you?

Hey! Please tell me if you get linux working on your pro book 440! I got one from school and installed another harddrive (don't tell it), but was planing on getting linux on it.

Totally agree. UEFI is there to discourage the installation of any non MS operating system. If I buy a new laptop, I never boot into Winblows. It gets Linux as soon a it comes out of the box. My favorite lappy is by far my Thinkpad. I had an old IBM Thinkpad. That think booted from button press to Arch Linux login screen in 9 seconds.

How do you deal with the Page Up/Down keys being so dangerously close to the cursor keys , especially since you're obviously working with your keys a lot ?

Does anyone know how to get Linux working with the modern wifi antennas?

Yeah it's annoying, I have to recompile and install my WiFi driver for my "newer and better" laptop, every time I reinstall. Thinkpads are better.

What are your guys thoughts on the p1 gen 2? looking at the: 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-9850H with vPro™ (2.60GHz, up to 4.60GHz with Turbo Boost, 6 Cores, 12MB Cache) 16GB DDR4 2666MHz 512GB SSD PCIe NVIDIA® Quadro® T2000 4GB Anythought? Looking around on google and not sure but thinkpads arent in any of those lists, so it has me thinking if i should get one.

I agree with you. I bought me a new laptop to replace me Thinkpad T430 because it was showing age and I was wanting something light for college. I'm surprise that Arch found my new laptop (HP Pavilion) wifi but my dad was wanting to switch Linux and he have a newer HP (year or two older) and Linux Mint didn't see the wifi driver so I had to find the driver and it was a pain to the point I about gave up till I finally found the wifi driver in github. The biggest thing I miss from my Thinkpad is the keyboard I got used to it and how easy it was to upgrade. I still got to get used the keyboard on my new HP and my dad's HP it was a pain to replace his old HDD and RAM. How you replace the hard drive in your HP was about the same.

Which one should I get, all the x220s are like $200-$300 on ebay atm.

Have a house full of Thinkpad workstations. They do a variety of chores including video editing. Great machines, easy to repair and upgrade. My newest is a W540. Most run 24/7.

You mention you installed LARBS. I did too. Two days ago. i3 version. Turned out a lot of actions from i3 status bar did nothing. It used to run perfectly. Don't know what happened.

This 3rd gen X1 carbon I got used has been pretty good.

Watching this on my T430 upgraded with an i7-3840QM processor, 16GB RAM, 2 SSDs and a better screen. These things are insanely upgradeable and customiseable.
