"You can use it outside in the sun and still see your screen" a problem linux users have never faced before :p

I bought a X230 in great condition a few weeks ago and it is still a great machine for every day tasks and for playing older RTS-Games. It just depends what do you wanna do with older Thinkpads. I think the T440p is a great machine even in 2020 ;)

Got a perfect T440p with 8gb ram , 120gb SSD, and 92% battery health, with charger for $145

Love thiccpads. I have a P50, myself. Having the added heft in the base of the laptop does improve the typing experience because it feels more solid in your lap. I don't get the same stability when typing on an X1 Carbon 6th gen. Build quality is definitely better in the X1C, with keys that are more tactile, springy, and don't wobble like the P50, but P50 has superior weight and travel distance.

7:09 hurt me personally

Watching from my T440s. ^.^

Now, august 2022, my T440p is still my main machine, and still really happy with it. Bought used laptop & followed pretty much you guide, upgraded LCD to 1080p, mem to 2x8GB 1866, CPU to i7-4900MQ, 450 trackpad, SSD, whitelisted the BIOS. Working with my T440p is a pleasure Thx again for posting your research 3 years ago. 👍👍👍

Louis Roussman once showed another benefit of a T440 over later models. Since the T450 the batteries cannot go beyond the back end, because of the hinges that make the laptop thinner. If you take a bigger battery it gives you something to hold the laptop while it's open and that way you can actually work on it while you are on a walk. Also the newer style of hinges seems to break more often, but that might only count for macbooks. Had I known that I can replace the clickpad, I would have gotten a T440. But I'm still happy with my T450s

Got a t440p today. Was not expecting it to be this good!

I bought the T440P in 2021 :c

I needed a laptop for school for dev purposes so I knew I didn't need anything very fancy or powerful. Saw that I could nab one of these on ebay for $80 without a hard drive. Popped an SSD in there and installed Manjaro and I'm very happy with it as is. I don't really get your problems with the trackpad, not the greatest in the world but it's fine, it's functional. Honestly, while you say this is for the tinkerer I think it's just great for more casual users as well or people who just need a cheap, solid machine.

I’ve owned a couple of these over a couple of years now. The first one I had, I accidentally snapped one of the latches for the touchpad ribbon, preventing me from connecting one to the main board. I decided to pick up another and found one on eBay for £130! This had an i3 CPU, but the beauty of this laptop is the socketed CPU. Upgraded to an i7 with 16GB RAM, 480GB ssd and a 1080p IPS display for less than £200. If you look at the build quality and specs of a modern laptop at £330 (the most I would have payed the the laptop + upgrades) they don’t come close. I’ve not used a brand new laptop that feels this solid in years. They just don’t make them like this any more. Most of the things you’d want to upgrade are under the bottom cover which takes 2 screws to remove. I’d take a half inch extra thickness for this any day. Its better than having to use a spudger to pop snaps out of place to upgrade your ram, risking affecting the way the case fits together permanently. This hardware plays nicely with linux out of the box too, a massive bonus. I hope in the future lenovo can appreciate why people like these older models and what makes them the “engineers” laptop, and wake up to the fact that its the product which is truly great, not the aesthetic and brand

2:37 E X T R A T H I C C 👌

My first laptop was a Thinkpad 600E, I loved her! Just bought a T440s, I needed a cheap laptop for school.

I bought a used one off ebay for $90. Upgraded ram, screen, processor and trackpad. It was a fun project and have been using it for a year now. Love this thing. I went with the i7-4710MQ

Short answer: Yes, T420-T440 are awesome!!!

I got the I7 4870hq, it worked out of the box and the Intel Iris is really nice. :)

I just bought a T440p for 50USD. Excited!

I can confirm that this laptop is still very solid in 2019. Bought mine from a small refurbished store about 9 months ago with an i7 4700MQ, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 9-cell battery and 1080p screen for 400 euros. Should I wanted to get a new laptop with similar specs I'd probably pay 2-3 times the amount. I'm so happy with my thicc baby ! P.S The touchpad is trash so I suggest using a mouse.

“Chinese cartoons” :D

Bought a second-hand 4th gen Thinkpad and using it for a week now. Upgraded the RAM and still no issues. Superfast laptop.

Very Professional Video ! ...you deserve way more subs....keep It up

No, only a LibreFreeAssInFreedomBooted 1987 IBM x10 ThnikPad is an acceptable mobile computer.

me and my daily driver T430 always love to see some thinkpad fans

OH BOY THIS TITLE OMG U GUYS LOVE IT DEEP

I used to have a T500 with 2, maybe 3 hours of battery life max. I used it for school and couldn't really use it all day due to the battery life. It was also super heavy and the screen was awful. The T440 might have a much better screen and maybe better battery life but it's still heavy and new Laptops are honestly better for a lot of things. Fun fact: You only have to go up slightly in price to match the Haswell quad cores and those are at half the TDP and you get a way slimmer machine. Not every new Laptop is a Macbook.

I have I5 t440p amazing performance and I can even play games like GTAV and fifa 17 etc. Just upgraded the ram.

I'd really like to see a video of you benchmarking this thing!

I got X1 Carbon with an i5 5200u for about 300€ on eBay. Honestly, it's the best laptop I've ever had wich 3 years prior cost like 1500+€. The screen is glossy and the colours aren't accurate, but 1440p res, 8gb of ram and solid 4-7 hours of battery life. I only use my notebook when being on the go and therefore I don't need much power and a thick&heavy wouldn't fit in my backpack as well. But if weight and size aren't a problem I'd pick up one as well.

I declare myself with envy! :D Congratulations!

I have had a Thinkpad x230 from 2012 running Debian as my daily driver throughout university and beyond, ran me $80 plus a $90 new battery. Sold my 2015 MacBook Pro afterwards, kept the $600 and haven't reconsidered

if you are still using bspwm i'd love to see a video about you config/workflow

I have e440 with i7 4702mq, nice but not robust as 440p

Posting this from my T440p with all upgrades: i7-4702MQ, FHD panel, and 3 buttons trackpad. Awesome notebook, best money spent ever. Thanks to your channel, Sebi's channel and this guide octoperf.com/blog/2018/11/07/thinkpad-t440p-buyers-guide/ I've managed to have my own Thinkpad. Started with X200s, then X220, X230 and now T440p.

Please do a tutorial on how to upgrade the trackpad! I've heard a lot of stuff about how messy it is (driver wise). Also, to anyone here dealing with slow 1080p60fps youtube videos or suffering from framedrops, use the h264ify plug-in on chrome or firefox, saddly, the I5 that comes with the t440p is not supported by the newer codec youtube is using (vp9) and does not support propper hardware acceleration.

Watching this on my T440s :)

excellent! FYI, this has been added to the coreboot supported ones, which makes it a really good option

Also I totally understand your pain in welding

Wow, you sure spend a lot of time on /g/, anon.

I used a T440p at work for almost 2 years and it was fantastic, so I bought a used T440s with new battery for $300 and it's just as good, 8GB ram, 240GB SSD, 4th gen i5 cpu etc

I would love to see x200 project! That laptop looks good. I am still rocking on i7 x230 with coreboot. I actually got excited about coreboot through your videos. I am very grateful for finding that option for BIOS. Thank you and have fun with new laptop.

There's basically a new one for sale for 120 near me. Should I get it?

Nice Channel, greetings from a IBM Lenovo Technican 👍👍😎

New lap tops are pretty good for compiling a lot of code, or doing a lot of video production. Sometimes that’s worth more than new ports.

totally agree! these days most! .. yes - most laptops are overpried.. just like new cars.. very poor plastic poor quality. Now I own x230 and T440s ... these are better for example than my Xiaomi Notebook Pro for just 1/3 of the cost! - T440s has better screen (for professional photography) and better cooling.. and performance wise I cannot see much difference in everyday work! (Xiaomi should be in theory 2x faster..) shame I didnt know it before... used IBM Thinkpad t440s was 1/3 of a price of Xiaomi!!! that runs throlling all the time! - I need to totally repaste it and void warranty of course.

Rocking the ThinkPad T480 from the T410.

Went for a T550 a couple of months ago, really happy with it (except for the display, i gotta change that).

Yes, buy (reuse) elderly Thinkpads.

Wow!! Chinese cartoons , I'll pretend I never heard .

Ich weiß was ich mir als nächstes kaufen werde.

I love your videos and your humbleness about being afraid of some of the same things of ism I'll buy an t440p soon.. :)

I still completely love my T440 (non-P, which makes it quite a bit thinner). My only complaint is that Lenovo ditched the old-style keyboards in favor of stupid chiclet keys. It is funny that you refer them as the "new design" of keyboards. They were actually introduced back in the 70's and 80's, but fell out of fashion due users widely considering far inferior--that is--until Apple brought the design back, after which the public suddenly decided they were amazing. 🙄

T440p is a beast machine. Give it an SSD drive and it will give you all the love you deserve!

Love me a vintage ThinkPad - still have an x220 - but you can get at T480 for increasingly good prices these days

Thanks for the video, but it would be better if you show us the ThinkPad while you're talking

It’s December of 2022 and I wanna get one now

For me that never click on the trackpad, just tap to click the track pad on this pc is a fantastic idea and I love it.

Congratulations, you have a good channel, very useful. I bought a t440p in 2019 (ho-ho-ho).Thank you very much for all the information.

but should i buy one in 2024????

Gutes Video Wolfgang, danke dir.

Love my T440p.... got it a couple of years ago for $200, 500GB HD, 8G of Ram... running Win 7. Now 500g SSD, 18G of Ram. I have an Ideapad 720, an X201, X240, and a new T470, but my T440p (running Fedora... or Kali) is my daily driver. :) Combined with a docking station, it is pretty much all I need. The 40A1 Pro dock is compatible with the T440 and the X240, and quite a few others. I got mine for #20 USD off fleaBay.

My only complaint about the T440p is its weight. Otherwise it's a great laptop.

Sounds awesome. Thank you. I will defoe look at it and consider it for my next series on KZfaq.

Older ones with old keyboard were really good (T420, X220, X200 Tablet, T510...etc)

had linux in my t440p converted it to windows 10 because linux was not working and just showing the black screen with the cursor the t440p still runs strong only drawback max ram you can put in it is 16gb but it still runs like a beast

I have a 2012 lenovo thinkpad w520. Its a power house. 4 core I7 2.2ghz turboboost to 3.4ghz, 16gb ram, 240gb SSD, 2 gigs VRAM and has the 9 cell battery that lasts for a LONG time. Running Parrot OS and never had a problem. Thinkpad for life!

I run a x250 with new ips, ssd, wifi card. With Linux and macos.

Thanks for all of the detail and recommendations. I've got a T440p with a deluxe docking station and I'm super happy with it. I'm running Windows 10 [upgraded with the Insiders Program] and am able to power my Software Development tools with WSL2 [Windows Subsystem for Linux 2nd Edition] with Ubuntu LTS. There are videos available on this setup and I plan on making some when I get settled in on how to do so. I'm opting to keep Windows because I prefer much of Adobe software for my photography business, and just don't want to add complexity to my life with multiple OSs. I may switch my T420 with Windows 7 to a Linux Distro though as Windows 7 is no longer supported.

Watching on my T 430s which I love.

Man, T-series logo, Fantano thiccness. You're stepping up yer game.

Confused between t440p and t450 which do you prefer?

2019? Just bought one in 2020!!:))

If Tyrion Wellic tolds it... I'm buying a ThinkPad!!

5 Years ago ...

Just picked up a T450 with i5-5300u, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD for $175. The batteries were a bit worn down, but I've replaced the internal and upgraded the external to an 48WH one, now it runs beautifully.

Watching this from my librebooted, Debian T60 (T7200 upgrade) :)

Bought this laptop when this video came out. I really like it, a very good laptop, I smell the quality and the solidity of the product. i5-4300m, I upgraded ram, now I have 16gb of ram, I run minecraft bedrock edition on max settings even with 8g of ram without any drop in fps.

Got one t440 i7 4600, nvidia gt 730m, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM for around $350 today🔥

Hi,Ive got one with i5, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD in optical mech. WIN10 Pro,90% battery life, brand new Lenovo charger. Thats for 250 EURO.Its fast like soaped lightning.Very nice physical condition. Im fully satisfied:-) Plan to set i7 and also SSD M.2 :-)

You can get a used P50 with a serious load out for under 1K. Great for heavy software development and CUDA. Otherwise I would go with a X220 with an i7 that can address 16G (4-6hr battery too). They regularly sell for under $400 and beat the pants off of any modern chrome book. You can get a micro docking station for $15, add a nice monitor and you have a powerful desktop until it dies or you get sick of it. Since they're unkillable it'll probably be the later.

Good information. Thank you, Irish David Spade.

We are still running multiple ones at work, because of how modular and serviceable they are, and I myself work on a T560. (That one has the ventilation on the other side of the control thingy of the docking station). I think you can actually still use external GPUs by taking out the LTE card

bought this laptop in 2023 - still good for the price!

Can this laptop run games like gta v or valorant?

Im trying to buy t440 right now.

ty for your vids, they are awesome

I got myself a x270 and put a 1080 IPS screen in it with a 512 GB SSD and it's been my daily driver for a while now.

Didn't watch the video: but yes! I got mine for 115 euro. 16gb ram, i7-4600M and 9-cell battery included. Upgraded it with the following: -Original B140HAN01.2 display (50 euro) -i7 4700MQ (10 euro, if accounting for the i7-4600M which I sold for 40 euro) -120GB Crucial SSD (25 euro) -1TB HDD (pre-owned) All in all I spent 200 euro... for an amazing laptop. Been using it for well over a year now. You really can't beat it for the price.

4:45 For the X1 Carbon.

Absolutely!!! Just got mine!

I'm looking forward to buying a "new" laptop. I'm stuck between the T430 with a GPU and a regular iGPU T440p. What should I do?

I see you are a man of culture as well..

The trick with using the awful touchpad on the T440 (or X240) is to turn off the trackpad in Synaptics setup. This means that the trackpad now ONLY has functionality as buttons for the trackpoint. If you do this, than it works Ok, and it really isn't much worse than regular trackpoint buttons. However, if you try to leave the trackpad enabled, it just doesn't work at all, and you are constantly selecting wrong things and clicking when you don't intend to. I'd still recommend an xx50 or newer model (xx60, xx70) instead, as the specs are slightly better, they're still almost as cheap, and the dedicated trackpoint buttons are still better than the pad, even just as a button.

That's why I got the T440s. Sure, it has the U class processor but it's plenty for me. It's a lot thinner and lighter which is important for me as a laptop is meant to be carried around. Hauling it around on many flights, riding scooters and general travel -- T440s is definitely a better choice. Besides, at home I use a small desktop anyway.

lenovo have some crazy quality and durability i have lenovo laptop for 5 years now and it still running like new

Yeah sure i will buy it in 2020.. i've already had t420.. it is great.. but after watching your video i think i will buy it.. thanks bro.. great job..

i love my t440p , recently it gained coreboot support so thats pretty good

I got the larger T530 and I am quite happy with it. I was a bit unsure about the chicklet keyboard but I was pleasantly surprised. Not as nice as the old IBM style ones but much much better then other chicklet keyboards. Just because the keyboard now looks the same as other brands it is still better and has very good feedback. Unlike my old mac keyboard which has zero travel.

I own one since 2014 and it was dropped kinda hard, and it still works
