I agree with most of the points that this video has pointed out
<dual core 7th gen cpu; 1080p screen
<when you have a PREVIOUS ENTRY in the thinkpad lineup with the X1 Carbon Thinkpad that had a choice to have a fucking 1440p screen that had a trackpoint and THE SAME CPU (but the x1 carbon had more choices) the only difference is a paying for a retard 'laptop-size' last-generation gpu and a more or less bad keyboard
since all i do is program and draw basic art and not play heavy games while working, the graphics card isn't that big of a deal.
I would rather deal with broken corners then to pay 1800 usd / 2000+ aud + shipping.

It's a neat idea but Lenovo are competing with their own products on the retro Thinkpad market. Why get this when a T420 is closer to an actual retro Thinkpad and is a fuckton cheaper?
Maybe about 5 years in the future if my T420 dies and I need more power with a similar design.

lenovo polled consumers on their forums for what features they would like in a retro thinkpad. but todays consumers LOVE macbooks and so the features they vote for turn this into a macbook clone. and of course those faggots voted up 16:9 screens and botnet. and they won't even buy it because of the price they'll buy a macbook pro instead.

Every now and then i take a look at the Lenovo lineup because secretly i do want a new thinkpad, even though that name has been reduced to the trackpoint these days, and im just amazed by how bad their specs and pricing is. It's so bad that you get much better deals at Apple, the screens are shit, the internals are behind the curve, the dGPU they use, the 940MX, is one year old while the much better MX150 is used by everyone else, they release it right when 8th gen i7s are released and obviously put a mid tier 7th gen in there. Everything is just so expensive and bad, it's amazing that they stay afloat even when you ignore all of the thinkpad feature rape.

Their SSDs are much much worse. I got a sandisk with OPAL and after clearing the hardware encryption via sedutil and running dd if=urandom on the fucking thing it still boots to a broken windows installation. Going to try secure erase via hdparm just to see what the fuck happens. It's the spookiest shit I have ever seen.

i don't that's the case. i'd have to look it up, but there were at least a sizable chunk of people voting for non 16:9 res, it's the single most important point after all, they lenovo flat out ignored it.

Hardware encryption is great. SSDs have to do it anyway as part of their wear-leveling algorithm, might as well get the benefits for free. And re your b-but muh backdoored proprietary hardware, if you have backdoored hardware you can't trust your software crypto, either. Understand your threat model and stop being retarded.
▶ No.831347

Jej, nigger did you read that post as a whole or just first sentence? It doesn't matter if SSD is proprietary, since SATA is not. It acts as a black box, you don't have to trust it at all. But when it does some on-board cryptography magic (wear-leveling is not), the backdoored firmware itself can reduce your encryption security to zero. You fucking should not trust proprietary encryption algorithms, ever.
Here's a better example for reddit nigger like you: instead of encrypting your pizza locally and uploading encrypted file to the (((cloud))), you decide to trust the (((cloud))) hoster with keeping your file safe. Which case will get you vanned?
