hehe what a time to be alive. I just got issued a E16 Gen 2 a few weeks back, and yeah it's better than the piece of shit Dell I got issued for work.

Remember when you could still remove the laptop keyboard with a single screw on the bottom center of your Thinkpad? Fuckin progress amirite?

9-11 years? Please tell me you installed Linux, no Mac can be safely daylied for that long under MacOS, they have like a 7 year life span.

Not every ThinkPad (and, there are many, many to choose from) is made of equal quality, unfortunately, where as Apple only has to design two notebooks (MacBook Air and Pro).

I would argue Lenovo's T series is superior to Apple's build quality in some aspects, while not as refined and chiseled as Apple's machines, what it lacks in refinement it more than makes up for in durability for use outside of Starbucks. And any ThinkPad keyboard is far superior to anything Apple has to offer, even on their desktops. Apple's track pad is pretty hard to beat, though, but I don't remember the last time I used a trackpad. If Apple added a TrackPoint to their notebooks I would be there day one.

Yeah they now run Linux at my parents house, still chugging along.

IBM Thinkpads had been great, Lenovo started cost cutting.

I used to borrow my dads neglected Thinkpad to play games like X-Wing Alliance and AoE. I think it's cool that they look exactly the same today and still have the red mouse nub.

But that's it, I never used one again lol. Also my skepticism blew through the roof over the whole Lenovo thing.

I don't have much experience with IBM ThinkPads, but according to r/ThinkPad the only thing that's changed is the keyboard, with most people preferring the old 7-row over the new chiclet style that Lenovo introduced. I use both, and love both equally.

x200 w/ linux and everything upgraded

surprisingly fast with a SSD

CMOS ended up dying at some point and I've been too lazy to replace it. took it apart once but it takes some random weird ass CMOS battery and I just gave up since I have other laptops lol
