Thinkpads are still quite nice.
- Danieru 14y agoPlus no one will ever steal it. I've had two people say to my face "Wow, that's an old computer". Which is silly since it is the world's coolest looking laptop.
- Variance 14y agoDoes this mean that Thinkpads are retro now? People always seem surprised that my thinkpad has a trackpoint-nub-thing and yet is less than a year old.
- Variance 14y agoI have a T420s with an SSD, and it's a charm. Light but solid. A refreshingly honest appearance, too, especially if you like the more boxy and somewhat cyber-industrial look that Thinkpads have. A little less gimmicky and passe than minimalism (and not just Apple's minimalism) tends to be.
- vacri 14y agoAlso surprising was that standard thinkpads survived more military tests than those all-enclosed 'toughbook' designs.
