I wish phones were this way, I rather lose style and gain battery.

@@itsGuy When I had a iPhone I had a case that charged in the way and it was pretty sweet. I could also turn it off and on if I wanted to so it was kind of like a case that had a power bank which was nice at the time. Running the S9 now and I had that iPhone a long time ago.

@@justinnentwich2779 When I was in 4th grade me and my class were going on a school trip, and I sat with my best friend at the time and he told me "Look at this case, it charges the phone while I'm using it" and I was like "Dude that's crazy I wish I had one of those" after 10 minutes he said "Look it's not charging I think it broke" and I was like "Was it broken before?" and he said that it wasn't. Since we both had iPhones the battery only lasted for a couple more hours and on the ride back both of our phones were dead. Like 4 years go by and we were chatting in a Discord call and he asked me "Hey remember that iPhone case that I said charged my phone? I forgot to charge and I got embaressed to say" I laughed my ass off that it took 4 years for him to admit it

I was thinking the exact same thing haha

or x230 which i happen to be using right now.

The cat's in the cradle.

/g/ says it is a meme. Memepad. The only way to make it worse would be to buy one and install Linux on it. Linux is also a meme, according to /g/. Wait, you could go all the way into memes and install Arch Linux on it. Memepad with Memelinux. (I think I dislike /g/. Maybe…)

Who is this "4chan"?

Put your LFS on it ;-)

I have an x220. I don't regret it, it's small and reliable. If you don't mind it not being the new sexy toy then it's totally worth it.

Yep, I only got it after I saw this comment. :)

@Mario Acosta It is a FOUR leaved clover.

@@jaarbahd9062 you're so clover

I'm not Luke but there's no way in hell he bought it from Lenovo.

Probably not enough.

all of it

Well at least with the CPU part they really can't do much because it intel soldering them also not good for the bottom line "we can't have people fixing there own shit"

Converting to usb c charging is actually pretty easy, theres a guy whom makes plugs that you just swap in

What are you mean "nice"? Most of modern laptops are disposable, not not suitable for repair, shit. This also applies new thinkpads. X220(230), T420(430) good cheap option for purchase.

Don't fret! It can be made new again with replacement parts.

Modern emoji came out in 2015. It's zoomer shit.

It's almost as if that's what the video is literally about.

Luke Smith please take my babies luke

Check eBay over and over for a while until you find a cheap one. There might also just be fewer x220 for sale in Canada, I don't know.

Yeah, check ebay for the cheapest deals. I bought my x220 on Amazon for $175 and I love it to death but some people have gotten better specs for fewer bucks. Mine's an i5 and came with 4 gigs RAM and a 300 gig HDD. I switched out the HDD for a 1T HDD and added 2 gigs of RAM. Not much, but those were the parts I had on hand. With Arch Linux, encrypted drive and boot, it's my favorite machine. I've got a 9 cell battery coming and an IPS panel. Will eventually invest in an SSD but I'm content with it's speed for now. Steam is the only program with any noticeable lag.

I found a redone one for 99€ (EUROS) on ebay, which is a very low price

he was rendering pdfs on the thinkpad gpu

Hardcore PDF rendering

To make things easier just buy a windows machine then replace windoes with your distro of choice

@@brickedmyphone1189 Like I said I don't want to pay Microsoft. I don't. I don't. I don't wanna.

@@Houshalter Thanks. I've already applied all the power saving tools possible.

@@rentristandelacruz Finally somebody who replied to what I was actually asking about. So why is it the case that I am getting relatively longer screen time? Luke has the same screen time as you do on Arch. Is it possible that the processors or other components you use are more power hungry? Also, I have used TLP, thermald and PowerTop for my power management

@@anubhav21dec hey man, you are awesome, I hope you are doing well over there and keep being smart about the stuff you use.

Why not? Please explain

I'm late, but keeping your laptop plugged in at all times is 100% safe and could increase the lifespan of the battery.

Also late as this guy ^ but he’s right. Most modern laptops (not sure about older laptops) have a smart mechanism where they completely bypass the battery, making it run off the wall power directly. It’s great for getting more performance as your computer components will get power directly, instead of relying off of the battery all the time.

Underclocking the CPU does a good trick but it require a full featured BIOS for that.

You would need the extra battery for the ips screen, ips uses like 20% more battery

Could you give us an update? I'd be very interested in both mods.

It's an old battery. In my case when it was new, il got 7 - 8 hours, but now, 7 years later, I get 4 - 5 hours with the same battery.

Lasts at least a week -at least when not used

How can the x220 take an utrabay battery? It has no ultrabay in it

The x220 slice battery works with the x230

All of his computers cost less than $300 or so lol How much did you spend for yours?

That's where they're made.

Hope they've improved; there was a recall in 2014 that affected the X200, X220, and other models.

China is literally where these Thinkpad come from...

keyboards are much better in these thinkpads. If you type much on a notebook yo will understand.

I've bought and used newer laptops and 2 in 1 lenovos, but i just ended up going back to old thinkpads. The newer stuff just keeps breaking so easily and i never enjoy using them.
