Its really annoying the W series Lenovos were discontinued. The W530 could survive everything from road trip back-seat python to outdoor satellite sdr debugging, all while having a keyboard that was backlit and easy to replace.
- jlgaddis 7y agoIndeed! I've got a six and a half year old W530 that I stull use pretty much on a daily basis. It's survived I-don't-know-how-many hundreds of miles in the saddlebag of a Harley-Davidson.
- igetspam 7y agoI have a W530 that I can't stand. The keyboard is so much worse than the previous or current generations. There's also something wrong with it that makes the screen go rainbow when it moves the wrong way, so I can't carry it around. I don't know what it is but I can barely type in that thing. I have P70 now and I love the thinkpad again. My next laptop will be a P5x model. Great keyboard, screen is fine (I don't game or do anything that requires more than a modest display), built like a tank and uoi can stuff it full of memory. (Always running Linux, so I can't speak to anything else.)
