I have three machines
1) desktop (Ubuntu), main daily use at home
2) laptop (t410s/Ubuntu). For work in apps rooms. Really falling to bits now, but still using it due to things like Ethernet port. The keyboard is now worse than the air so looking how beast to replace it
3) MacBook Air, for portable use
Right tool for the right job. If I want a portable I’ll go for a small air. If I want a useful machine I’ll go for something larger and heavier, but with the ports I need
- mr__y 7y agothe most environmentally friendly thing you could do with that t410s is to replace the keyboard with a new one instead of replacing the laptop with a new one. This of course assumes that everything else is fine and only the keyboard is falling to bits.
- isostatic 7y agoScreen hinge is as well
- naikrovek 7y agoOn thinkpads those can be tightened pretty easily. Well, they could be tightened back when I carried a few around. I am (perhaps incorrectly) assuming that your hinges are loose and not actually breaking apart.
- isostatic 7y agoTotally gone - the long thin bits are normally connected by two robots, it’s just one. This means the plastic case is separated. While I can just about close the lid by pushing from tr base of the screen, it’s really flakey. The cpu fan doesn’t work either.
