T430s is my daily driver still
- ekianjo 4y agoan excellent machine. the cpu and gpu start to show their age a bit.
- bubblethink 4y agoThe GPU a lot. No hardware acceleration for any current video codecs. 100% CPU and fans on youtube.
- Lutzb 4y agoI wish there was a nice screen replacement for the t430s but otherwise the form factor is just right.
- raffraffraff 4y agoThe screen is shit. The touchpad is shit. But it's a great little machine for its time.
- Melatonic 4y agoI believe there are - theres some hackers in China that even release full on motherboard replacements with modern CPU's and everything
- btgeekboy 4y agoMine's not my main computer, but being a standard x64 on Windows computer with both a network jack and full-sized SD card slot, mine gets plenty of use as my hangar computer. It's plenty powerful for reading PDFs & wiring diagram spreadsheets, which I sync locally via Syncthing to/from my NAS. And the two aforementioned ports are necessary for updating my avionics, but pretty rare these days without extra dongles. And while it's old, the T-series is decently rugged, so it'll probably survive a fall, perhaps with superficial scratches. All in all, totally worth the couple hundred dollars I paid for it off-lease in something like 2015.
