| X200 reporting in. Received it as part of my uni graduation, still going strong today as a cloud backup device that I can carry everywhere.
Had to replace the battery twice; it lasts about 2-ish hours now, so I'd say that's good.
| Sounds about right. My X220 has an OEM 6-cell battery with it, the last owner cared meticulously for it. About 3.5 to 5 hours on Linux depending on use.

Yeah, I wish I have the OEM battery installed. It was getting a tad to expensive for the old laptop and I wasn't that interested in pulling a hefty sum for an aging laptop.
But battery isn't really in my complaint though. The 2 hours mark is pretty fine. I just wish it had an actual touchpad. The trackpoint is starting to break, and it's the only input available aside from the keyboard (and excluding USB peripherals, of course).
| >>81926 Rough. Well, at least replacing the laptop wouldn't be expensive. Though if you don't want to replace or upgrade, you can replace the keyboard. Dirt cheap, and easy to find.
| No love for IdeaPad :(
| Hope their displays have gotten better. Had a Y50-70 and the fucking screen turned green one day with ghost images on screen. After shipping to fix it and 6 weeks, came back to me with the battery internally disconnected from the charging circuit. I managed to sending it back for a straight replacement, but after a few months the new one had the same stroke as the first. Then the hinge broke apart not long after that. Ik it sounds like I treated it rough but I used it like a desktp
| However this Moto Z made by Lenovo is the fucking bomb. Maybe just bad luck
| T-500 here. Bought it refurbished and dirt cheap because it had a defecfive batery. Am working to base the Terminator T-800 battle units AI on it soon.
| I think I'm going to buy a ref/used TP, is it worth it to get T420s instead of the original T420 over its slim figure and less weight? I'm going to use it mostly for uni, projects, and light gaming (CSGO and such).

Not sure about the T420 since I've never personally tried them. The T420s is a decent machine overall though.
| The T420s only uses SSDs, and an HDD won't fit, so keep that in mind.
| T460s here, bought it quite recently to replace my old Asus, liking it so far

X220 here, ultimate comfy memepad IMO.
