Which Thinkpad do I get?
| Seconding x220
| T440 or T430, eventually T420 if considerably cheaper. X series is for manlets, X1 Carbons aren't worth it, everything else is just shit. If you don't care about upgradability and repairing by yourself, you can consider basically every single T series ThinkPad
| X62 from chinks
| Get a T430. Eventually, you'll get sick of using two laptops and switch to one. And if you get wine configured properly, you will just use it for gaming. The X230/220 are great, but you'll get annoyed with the lack of dedicated graphics
| Why would he need dedicated graphics for school? It's about prortability. Get something smaller than 15 inch. No reason to carry something heavy around. X series ftw.
| I'm using an X230 myself, and I'm speaking from personal experience. Love the X series, but I'd rather have made the call to go for one bulky laptop for everything than balance two for mobile gaming and school. Depends on one's preference.
| The 360 one that comes with a pen
| The T430 is p decent,got one with MATE on it myself
| richgurl here I just got a Carbon X1 and I'm literally in love. I keep running my hands all over the chassis. it's light as hell, got all the ports you want, and typing on the keyboard is a fucking dream. definitely worth it if you love thinkpads and have $1600 to shell out. 16gb, i7, 512gb SSD with transfer rates of like 4000mb/s.

>buying brand new thinkpads
>buying anything after the glory days of x220 and t420
Absolutely disgusting. Richfag missing the point over here.

| I'm debating getting a t420 for college too
| X220 is reliable, I have the X220T for editing images on gimp. If you want some graphical performance instead, get T4xx with a dedicated onboard graphics card

| I’ve been running windows on a bigboi laptop, but I just use it for gaming and want something I can throw Linux on and bring to school. I’ve heard about the thinkpad meme and want to get one that wouldn’t be too stark a change but is also cheap as dirt. wat do
