I can't fucking stand Thinkpads.
they have this little 14-inch screen
You have to be a midget to use one
and you can't have stubby fat fingers either
So what - use one for a toaster
shitty ram
shitty CPU
run Linux without a DE because that's all it can handle
fuck that
I can get at least a 15.6 inch screen
or a 17.3 inch screen with 104 keys
better cpu
better gpu
more ram - because i can actually fit more into it
and I don't have to worry about having bratwurst fingers
I'm 6'7" for fuck's sake
I also can do better than a poorfag with a thinkpad
so, fuck thinkpads.

I hate that they are so easy to repair, cheaply available, and supported by libreboot. Fuck Thinkpads!

OP back to check on the death of my thread
>Clevo rebrands

I really don't want a gaming laptop though
The thing is, is that the small screen is just too small

They're meant to be easily transportable. Of course people don't use them as their main computer, but simply a practical interface to access their comp from a distance. It's especially practical for students and people who move a lot.
It's not meant to appeal to everyone.
What are you using right now ?

I bought a T420 and its a nice little laptop but I'd rather just keep using my desktop. When I travel somewhere I don't need my computer or the Internet to distract me from the experience.

So your point is that being genetically inferior (fat, tall and short-sighted) makes you angry?
Have sex.

BIOS freedoms are worth the inconvenience.

It's GNU/Linux.

I hate that they are laptops, a desktop is always better. But when it comes to laptops, there is basically nothing better than old thinkpads. Too many people know now though, they're starting to get more expensive.

I really hate this. I want to get a cheap t61 to ssh into my desktop/servers from, but they go for ~$80, it's absurd.

if you've got a hardware dock you can just drop the thing on your desk and use the incredibly cheap, incredibly large monitor(s plural) that you have on multiple mounts around the desk.
I just want someone to remake the Dell XPS 12 2950, i.e. the only good one. shit for your lap, but using a laptop productively on your lap is a waste of time anyway.
