the t430 model is a beast, a real work computer, I prefer it to any other brand, if you upgrade, ram and ssd ,you have a laptop until 2050

@@sarabandacaronte9845 Interesting ... And it turns out that a buzzing fan, like an airplane on takeoff, and dangling hinges do not bother you? Or has it been replaced by something else?

I've been drawn to ThinkPads for a decade. I finally need to go mobile and bought a $370 x270

They're not the best

@@sabiti5428 How you getting on with the laptop. I’m in the market for the same laptop.

@@Maximus20778 for normal work good for compuational work very undervelming

My one off eBay came with a US keyboard. Which is a nightmare for someone drilled with the UK layout. I did replace it once, but the replacement isn't quite right -- not sure whether it's the keyboard or my attempt at changing it. Still, it has its uses as a lightweight server, or a quiet compact workstation when docked and connected to a couple of screens and external mouse and keyboard.

Wtf man, u got a full on Desktop PC in there haha

"Omg pls send me full guide" and for me please :)

Can you suggest a fan on the T430 that won't hum like an airplane?

Nice bro

which ips screen did you get?

Awesome man. Just wondering, how did you manage to upgrade the graphics card to Nvidia 940m?

@@Francis_UD Hi! Mine came with it, you should search for deals on a t440p with that GPU because it's soldered, meaning that you would need to change the Motherboard in order to get the g940m.

@@hellsing0999999999 you sure its a t440p/ 940m? afaik in those models the gpu option if it wasnt just onboard, was the gt730m

@@skurys you are 100% right, I have that model which is really helpful for streaming at 4k

Hello. How is it at work today?

@@alexf1515 It works pretty good! I'm a little disappointed that I can't seem to get the newest version of Windows to install on it, but it's still my daily driver, and there have not been any problems yet. In fact, I'm typing to you right now on it. I would still recommend it over any new budget laptop of maybe $400 or less.

@@caligulite Thanks for the answer. I'm glad that this cool car still brings you pleasure. I am writing to you from the T430, in which if I change the fan buzzing like an airplane and the hinges that have become a little loose over time, it will be like new. By the way, I have Windows 11, it's simple and it works fine on the new system. Of course, you can also upgrade to it if you disable TPM 2.0 and CPU checks. There is a lot of content on the Internet on this topic. Do it and you won't regret it :)

Should I get P50 or T440p ? I need a strong machine for day to day office work, little editing etc.

Why didn’t you just change the ram?

What do you think of the T470p I'm thinking of picking one up to replace my wrecked T450S? Hoping to reuse a lot of the parts and accessories.

@@ChrisD__ I love the T470p - probably still my favorite laptop. Only has a single battery, but it has the "H" series CPU, so it has twice as many cores as the T450s, and it much faster/snappier. I'm a developer who runs Linux, and the T470p still ticks all checkboxes for me: user upgradeable, can change RAM/SSD, has a low-powered dedicated GPU that I can completely power down, the screen is just the right size, the keyboard is great. Unlike the T470, the T470p doesn't come with a Thunderbolt 3 port, but this hasn't been an issue for me. Unlike the T450s, it only has a single battery too (i.e. no internal battery). When I power down the GPU in Linux, I still get around 5 or 6 hours. Whenever I travel or go to conferences, I always take a spare battery. I've been extremely happy with my T470p - does everything I need it to do. If you like, I could create a video or write up a blog about the T470p (with Linux)?

Mine was x220 predecessor, the x230 runs good on these days

Yeah I recently purchased an x220t. I had experienced that style of keyboard years ago with a company Thinkpad and it never left my mind. The tablet function is well executed and there pen works ALL THE TIME, unlike the finicky pen from my garbage surface pro 3. It's light enough, small enough, powerful enough.

Best travel lappie ever.

@@RodFleming-World Yeah I just got a T420 as well, and that big screen is great, but it sure is a big beast - it's really best suited as a desktop. It makes you go back to the X220 and realise just how brilliant it is - they really got it right - great size, incredible keyboard, I7 processor - and you can repair / replace every part of it!

@@mcd3379 Hi basically that's what I do, I leave the 15 inchers here and travel with the 220. Very good arrangement. Nice to meet another Thinkpad fan!

Couldn't agree more

What's 'europe'? Is that a new theme park somewhere?

Used thinkpads sells like hotcakes in my country, indonesia because most people couldnt afford high end laptops. base model laptops in Indonesia is sold around $645 and that is not cheap for people that is mostly paid around $200 per month. Leading to scarcity of those types on used market, causing the prices to go down slower. A used Asus vivobook with 8th gen processor still costs around $322 ThinkPads, on the other hand, is sold around $200 for the i5 8th gen model like L380. That to me is quite a decent prices for what youll gonna get.

"buying older thinkpad is better than buying a newer celeron"

@@harisnaufal890 The video talked about old Thinkpads and they are so "good" because they are upgradeable. Why are you even bringing up 8th gen Thinkpads that are not upgradeable? Soldered RAM, CPU etc. The point I was making that even if an old Thinkpad is upgradable, they still max out at 16GB RAM, so what difference does it make if you buy a newer (non-upgradable) laptop that already have 16GB RAM? None. I never talked about new laptops vs old used Thinkpads. I compare old used Thinkpads to newer (later gen) used laptops. There is simply no reason to buy a 4th gen Thinkpad (like from the video) in 2022 just because they are upgradable.

You have a T440P and update to T440? and got i7-8550U on it? how´s so?

@@JJRamirezP thanks, meant T480.

which ips screen did you get?

Yeah youtube sucks at notifying people about uploads. Thanks for the support

And it is quad core

@@popokatapetl6995 it is indeed

With or without MX150?

I already have one and use it everyday all day

get t440p

Including T450 trackpad as well? ;)

@@BYMasterMM Yep. But I kept forgetting to disable the Windows update feature so my drivers were being updated and knocking my trackpad out of use. I reinstalled the drivers using the mod instructions I found online and everything is back to normal.

@@RCfromtheNYC I didn't seem to have those issues, maybe it was because I manually disabled updates, although it didn't matter too much because I started using Linux more and more over Windows

@@aaxylotl I stuck with Windows since it runs very fast with an SSD upgrade. I just kept forgetting to go through the final process of disabling the driver updates. And I also run the TailsOS Linux distro off of a USB drive when I travel, and have had zero hardware problems.

@@plaane $350 total. You be surprised how many CPUs and memory boards can be found sold loose in thrift shops. Got my CPU and two 16gb sticks for $60 total.

What about X260. Is there any significant upgrade using x260 over x250?

what do u think about x250 i5 5th ? can it run easly illustrator and Photoshop ???

@@safirfoot4606 I think you’ll be held back. I’ve edited photos on it ok but a GPU enabled one would be better, try snag a W series or something, they’d do much better. An X270 etc would be better if you must have an X series By the way I’ve run Corel PSP X6 and X9 with no issue, multiple layers and complex stuff chugs a little

@@woodant1981 thanks a lot appreciate that

Very refreshing your comment. I agree. Most people these days have forgotten that not everything is available forever on the internet and it's good to have your own copies of the things you care about at home. And about the internet? I travel a lot and even if you have a surfstick or an LTE module in your thinkpad, you can't always find a good internet connection and if you want a fast one, it will cost you. Many providers are stingy with the data volume and if you do the math, what does it cost you per month and then per year just for being online? Nah, I'm fine I'd rather spend the money I save on something else. Recently, a lot of braindead people have been trying to gaslight you into thinking that the old Thinkpads deliver poor performance. I only use windows 7 on my devices in the perfect form for me and have everything I need. I have a Thinkpad for video editing, one for gaming (I like indie games, they don't eat up as much performance as triple A stuff) and have just upgraded a P52 to the maximum specs as a workstation only for music production etc. You can get the parts extremely cheaply and can put together a device to suit your needs for every area of work. Ther eis nothing new under the sun and this modern obsession with bigger and faster? where has the reliability gone? I don't want to buy a device today and spend hours or weeks learning software that will be obsolete in 2 years. What is done has to be durable. I don't care of modern slaves buy tech that only benefit is to get spy on and even pay for it. I like my pricavy and the freetom to do the things on my way.

@@collapsingruins Yeah the fact that "Modern" systems reduce performance on older hardware is imho deliberate sabotage. Just as it does on Smartphones that get deliberately slower and performing worse, the more you update and the higher the OS version is. SO they force you to "Upgrade" your phone to a newer model and they keep you buying new hardware that you actually don't need, if the software would be actually optimized.

@@KRAFTWERK2K6 There was a study a few years ago by Indian Telecom that found that most people only use 4-7% of the functionality on their device. Basically, if big tech wasn't constantly changing the interface and system so that you can use your stuff easily, you wouldn't see the point in upgrading. You can basically do anything with a simple smartphone from 10 years ago that you can do today. As this Srecrt service agent paranoia crap that people buy is basically spying software and tracking for the big companies to spy on you, not to secure your data for theft. How can a company that steals my data and spies on me secure me against theft, even what they do themselves? absolute mafia methods these days.

Yes, a little bit more durable and "stable" than x230. sadly dont have usb 3.0. and of course excelent keyboard.
