10:04 Hey, that model is one of my laptops! It is still shockingly useful in 2024, I did almost all of my python coding assignments on it. I also did some heavier tasks like GIS and gaming! Older games still work reasonably well on it! Browsing and KZfaq worked flawlessly as long as video playback was kept to 720P!

8:35 Hey, isn't this the new trends for ultra expensive laptops nowadays? zenbook duo for example

this is one chonky overbuilt boy

I have old laptops that I generally use on the go, they are also good to focus on what you need to get done

X201T is good, but why not X200T? The cpu uses Core 2 Duo, which doesn't have any kind of backdoor stuff with the cpu, and it even supports the libreboot,which decreases the boottime and improves the security!

I have that as well and it's running Windows 11 ..I manually reprogram my laptop

Do you even talk about Chromebooks? It’s even worse.💀 Chromebooks are basically a netbook of 21st century, it was contributed to e-waste, if not with “new” laptop for $100 - 500.☠️☠️ That’s my opinion, so either take it with a grain of salt or move on.

Nice how the social commentary is sprinkled throughout

I dont know why people think that anything that we do today requires a recent computer. Tasks like editing documents, browsing, calling didn't get that much more demanding. In fact I am able to edit videos on a 14 year old laptop although admittedly it was very slow and currently my gaming pc is a 10 years old system and demanding games like Microsoft flight simulator are really enjoyable.

Ah... The kind of laptop where i put Mint or Debian and gave it to my parents because they just want to do a bit of Facebook

Im using one of them as a server lmao

also how did U run windows 11 on it

btw U can still use windows 7 if U have an antivirus

Underrated youtuber, just recommend U start tiktok and instagram shorts sp people follow you

I bought a T420 and want to upgrade it no matter what the costs . It's in mint condition. I love this machine so thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with Linux though. Might be an option in future.

thankyou my problem solve

They rip this man off.

Got myself a chonky Dell Precision with an 8 core Xeon, 32gb of ram, and a quadro for $240, used is the move.

Your video is good. Visit HPL for latest mini soldering iron, very useful

Framework iv in DOSbox works well in the T420. Roll on (back) the reversion to DOS for love of vintage and to escape doomscrolling and perennial bombardment with advertising... ;-). ❤😊

Thanks for showing love to the Panasonic Toughbook. It is an under-rated laptop, after Thinkpad, although I've never owned one - I respect it for sticking to their original design, unlike Thinkpad under Lenovo.

One time I was downloading a music on my Gaming PC with Ryzen 5 by converting YT videos to mp3 and that time my CPU was acting like a Celeron as KZfaq was being freezy and slow for no reason. Now KZfaq is working fine.

may Allah ( God ) bless you

Love your channel, im also into Thinkpads on which i run various Linux DIstro's, Your vids are great and i learn alot, Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa

I see something selling one for 100$ nearby i5 2gen 320gb HDD, it doesn't have a battery. Should I buy it ? I need one computer for coding, accounting, browsing and other day to day stuff

I’m installing Windows 11 MBR for Legacy BIOS on my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro as I’m watching 🤣 also, did it on my retina with UEFI by mistake, late 2012 MBP Pro Retina to be exact, post bootcamp drivers install in windows I’d get all sorts of blue screen errors. Managed to fix them by allowing windows to update drivers by itself after a fresh clean local reinstall from the Repair screen after a few blue screen fails in a row, managed to take the Apple Control Panel program from System32 while it wasn’t blue screening it, copied it off to a USB so post windows reset / reinstall, I somehow had my Wi-Fi driver and everything started updating through windows, placed the Apple control panel back in System32 to enable right click trackpad support AND IT WORKED! Hope this helps anyone who reads it

Windows 8 on MacBook?

"...the start of a whole new form of advertistment" Oh! if only they knew back then...

I have the regular x201 and always wanted to get the tablet version. Too bad they it goes for over $100 nowadays...

Love ur videos bro, Keep it up

Another Banging Video man, wow 10 bucks, in Cape Town that would cost like 100 plus bucks, Wow,

HP engineers: so you want us to go all out and create the greatest laptop of all times? What's our budget? HP executive: I got a bag of cocaine.

Interesting HP laptop, I see how of a peak HP was, I have the HP Pavilion G7-2269wm and it has really loud speakers thanks to Dolby advance audio, anyways its a pretty good laptop but it does need a new battery & keyboard but asides that, its rocking 500GB HDD drive. AMD A8-4500M, 6GB of ram, and most importantly how big it is.

You have a very good point about them just being made as a quick money grab the only reason a person should have one of those if they get it given to them or for really cheap and are going to use it for a custom project by one of them people that would get away raspberry pi project using a Celeron instead

I considered to like and subscribe, because I want more content like this.

Watching it on replay and thank you for your efforts my man

Cult of the think pad enters chat

Yes, but SSDs are not foolproof. They can have electron drain after time, and they too have a re-write life. After five or six years, the components in a pc are shot anyway, so you take a big chance when buying a used one.

T420 was the finest 14” thinkpad ive owned, i did the 2560x1440 upgrade but kept the i5 dual core. It gamed poorly including web graphics and even with my gtx 960 egpu at the time, but as a high-dpi desktop workspace fitting multiple browser windows, pdfs, documents, and explorer windows I was more productive with my T420 than any of my prior machines. The 7-row and palmrest on T420 were perfect for me, to date T420 was my greatest typing platform. I enjoyed watching my blu rays on it with the optical drive.

No need to scoff whit the Lonovo company. The iPad you're talking about has long since been thrown into the trash. Update is disabled. The battery is only put in for service if it hasn't broken yet. Lenovo engineers tried to design a notebook that would work for 20 years. They succeeded. It was not made for those who want to play Candy Cras and whine that it doesn't fit in their bag. Well, because of such needs, expandable devices have almost completely disappeared from the market. Slowly, every year you can throw everything away and buy a new one, for you can take a selfie with it.

if I was treated like that ideapad had been treated.... I'd be slow too :/ lmao

CRAP-tops 1 crappy processor/low mem 2. MS windblows OS or 3. google CRAPium OS Has anyone ever run linux from thumbdrive on these? would prob make them 100X better.

I like these older machines .. currently im using a t440 with the i7 4710mq and 16gigs of ram .. works great for programming plc's and radios .. works great for all the everyday stuff like youtube and email .. so its my favorite for work laptop

I have a T420 and still using it just for storing data because It has 2 SSD's maybe I will add another storage on the M2 slot they say its possible to add. beside the T420, I have a T400 and a T470.

Still using my T410

How much did the display upgrade cost? I was thinking about doing it but the adapter seems to be pretty expensive.
