Traditional laptops like the Thinkpad X201 or X220 back from over ten years ago were lighter, had brighter and denser displays, didn't make me pay extra for bluetooth and even had a third mouse button for scrolling.
- ziml77 3y agoNot just paying quite a bit more for Bluetooth, but it's not even internal. It takes up a USB port!

- kitsunesoba 3y agoThe whole of the x86 laptop space has been trending away from 16:9 in the past couple of years — I have a 16:10 ThinkPad from 2021 for example. This is great, but it sure took a long time… the 16:9 takeover and the terrible reign of 1366x768 began at some point around 2007 and only started relinquishing in 2021.
