That's why I took the Latittude. otherwise I was gonna go with Thinkpad in the first place

Well, thats a loss thanks to not doing your own research.

latitudes are also good

Do they work for some hardware manufacturer that is not IBM, @Sparkenstein ?

Ehh no. He is just more experienced than me

Ehh no. He is just more experienced than me

Well, it doesn't sound like that.

latitudes are also good

Eh, so-so.

That's why listen to him and brought latittude

latitudes are also good

On the contrary, my keyboard feels total plastic

the keys are cheap quality

Eh, so-so.

What's wrong with Latitude? I have one and still works like a boss. And it's 12 years old.

12 years ago they werent that bad

Mousepad works "sometimes"

But dell specced most of the series down over the years.

So you say that the modern Latitudes are kinda rubbish? Like the modern HP laptops?

So you say that the modern Latitudes are kinda rubbish? Like the modern HP laptops?

Exactly.

For Dell go precision or xps.

The keys are too thin

Exactly.

Okay, fair enough.

XPS builds are great but they cost too much

The keys are too thin

And so what? Do you plan to dance Tarantella on them?

latitude by now is more a marketing sticker - can mean good, can be cheap af.

XPS builds are great but they cost too much

Thats why used thinkpads. :P

XPS builds are great but they cost too much

xps are consumer notebooks

xps are consumer notebooks

One of the best built and still pretty tough built ones however.

Its the closest to a prosumer laptop right after "real" business highend.

A HP Spectre X360 is also nice though

What are the extra perks with Thinkpad

And way cheaper than a XPS

Other than what you get with usual laptop

Its the closest to a prosumer laptop right after "real" business highend.

theres a latitude for the XPS 13 and a precision for the 15

A HP Spectre X360 is also nice though

imo the Envy series are better

imo the Envy series are better

The screens are so dim on those though

What are the extra perks with Thinkpad

<=x230/t430 coreboot/HEADS <=x250/t450 (or so) big, beefy 9 cell battery to hold it on the go <= current Super sturdy awesome made well supported work machines.

Like my latittude supports a sim card literally

<=x230/t430 coreboot/HEADS <=x250/t450 (or so) big, beefy 9 cell battery to hold it on the go <= current Super sturdy awesome made well supported work machines.

and great keyboards

<=x230/t430 coreboot/HEADS <=x250/t450 (or so) big, beefy 9 cell battery to hold it on the go <= current Super sturdy awesome made well supported work machines.

(make sure to avoid nvidia models so you get the dock feature)

Well, thats a loss thanks to not doing your own research.

This sounds so Sherlock....

<=x230/t430 coreboot/HEADS <=x250/t450 (or so) big, beefy 9 cell battery to hold it on the go <= current Super sturdy awesome made well supported work machines.

I love how my X230 Is faster with the stock CPU than the X240, but with the modded CPU it's faster than every single normal T and X Series until the XX80's

(make sure to avoid nvidia models so you get the dock feature)

What's that

(make sure to avoid nvidia models so you get the dock feature)

Uh? What do you mean by that? What dock? Where?

Turns your laptop into a workstation

That doesn't belong to a laptop, does it?

Just by plugging it in

That doesn't belong to a laptop, does it?

It does!

That doesn't belong to a laptop, does it?

You put your laptop on it

Looks horrible, like a super huge heavy thing

Look at the bottom of your T440, there's a connector there

(some dells also have it)

Looks horrible, like a super huge heavy thing

Well, it doesn't move so

Is there that guys which freakly recomended flatpack? The best software ever, yeah? ?

You install shit then that's what you'll end up with.

Looks horrible, like a super huge heavy thing

Its exactly as big as the laptop. And pretty light.

Flatpaks in your case

Well, it doesn't move so

Ah, it's an accessory.

What for!

Its mean for permanent setup on your desktop

And which series is that X or T

What for!

Extra connectivity so you can use your laptop as a complete desktop replacement

so you have a workspace, by plugging it in

And which series is that X or T

Both!

That doesn't belong to a laptop, does it?

it's the best thing for laptops, you have a docking station on your desktop all the time, connected to power, monitors and whatnot, and when you come back to the desktop you just put laptop in it and it connects everything

* sits down and waits for @Wolfshappen to get triggered saying this and that will break the system *

?

Its mean for permanent setup on your desktop

Doh... buy a desktop computer if you want a permanent setup. They're cheaper than laptops.

And which series is that X or T

Both

Doh... buy a desktop computer if you want a permanent setup. They're cheaper than laptops.

This way you get BOTH

X230 and T430

Doh... buy a desktop computer if you want a permanent setup. They're cheaper than laptops.

But they're not

For ~30 bucks you have a viable desktop, from your laptop.

And dont need to bother syncing data.

This way you get BOTH

Okay. I don't see what is it for. But I understand is a nice accesory.

Doh... buy a desktop computer if you want a permanent setup. They're cheaper than laptops.

what if you want a desktop but sometimes you need to pick it up and go somewhere? ;p also why have two computers when you can have one?

I run an external GPU From my laptops with quad cores, so for $70 Overall I get desktop level performance

I say, if someone say to never use root for administration, even personal laptop. Then does he ever administrate any type of server?

Look up ACLs

To be frank, who needs that when you have type C USB?

I personally prefer Nvidia. Far better cards.

Okay. I don't see what is it for. But I understand is a nice accesory.

I literally work like that right now.

I personally prefer Nvidia. Far better cards.

They arent.

Okay. I don't see what is it for. But I understand is a nice accesory.

So let's say them in a work place you just give people docks and their own laptops rather than a desktop and a laptop

The 820M in some thinkpads is out-paced by the intel hd.

Even on windows.

You save a ton of money and don't have data syncronistation issues

I run an external GPU From my laptops with quad cores, so for $70 Overall I get desktop level performance

Are they any good?

Are they any good?

Yes

To be frank, who needs that when you have type C USB?

C USB's haven't been around forever

Thinking of moving to a WX 7100 from the 1060 though

Interesting but no

what if you want a desktop but sometimes you need to pick it up and go somewhere? ;p also why have two computers when you can have one?

Why would I want a desktop computer?

Dream Future Setup

Why would I want a desktop computer?

to work comfortably using a regular keyboard and two displays ;)

Why would I want a desktop computer?

Larger displays to work on.

Dream Future Setup

I've seriously been thinking of getting a 6 Core thinkpad and just selling my desktop

More color accurate.

Bigger keys.

Why would I want a desktop computer?

Youc an run all your monitors, have all your devices easily accessible like proper keyboards, mice, wired connections, proper audio support
