my W520 is very needs suiting

big, fast, silent (unless I leave firefox running for too long)

only complaint is that the nubbly covering on the trackpad has worn away unevenly

called lenovo tech support, they fedexed me a new palmrest / fingerprint reader / speaker cover at 0 charge

haven't installed it yet because gently caress fixing thiungs that ain't broke

it does have this unlabeled button next to the audio controls which does nothing when i press it though :pwn:

now what button which needs to have a piece of poo poo lenovo software installed to actually do something could that possibly be :confused:

removing the thinkvantage button was the one accidental good thing coming out of the removal of all the top row buttons on the *40 series (we must have more unused space over the keyboard because reasons).

:agreed:

The X301 was the only good Thinkpad ultrabook.

Build a laptop that's completely identical except for a modern CPU and USB 3, and it will be as light as a X1 and have better features than a T450s

gave it to mom she loves it (until i eventually get her a mba)

i still use my t420 and i like it a lot; it has room for both an SSD and a regular 2.5" HDD so i get the best of both worlds

also it let me install 16gb of ram even though the specs listed 8gb as the max

i never had the gpu desolder itself from the motherboard that someone else said was a problem with this model; maybe cuz i opted to spend a bit more and chose the nvidia gpu instead of the intel? idk

my only complaint is it seems like it should run a bit faster for a core i7 @ 2.7ghz. Maybe it's some half-assed "laptop version" of the i7 or something i have no idea

poo poo trackpad is meaningless to me; nubbin for life

lol im defending nothing; i researched for weeks before buying the laptop and had 30 days to return it if i didnt like it, not to mention i have no interest in current thinkpad's and their new horrible changes

if anything, i like this laptop more now than i did when i first bought it. i could have ended up with one of those newer ones with chicklet keys :stonklol:

as a youth I'd crank the brightness on my macbook and tilt the screen forward to see my keyboard

when I grew older, I learned where all the keys were, and no longer needed a light

then I grew older still, and learned that there's never a good reason to use a laptop in the dark anyway
