btw, my thinkvantage and mic mute buttons aren't working anymore. xev doesn't registers any event at all when i press those buttons.

Same

And only time I bought a laptop from AliExpress (3 weeks ago) it died within 24 hours from unpacking becayse hardware malfunction and I can't get my money back because seller is shit.

Try contacting AliExpress directly, they constantly refund me for defective products.

Didn't work.

It is now at stage of sending item back and waiting for a refund.

But seller is making some terms, as in sending laptop to a different place, etc.

Idk how would it turn out and in few days I am leaving for few weeks to a place without internet.

Oh boy.

That is so sad.

X230?

nice machine

X230?

220, 230 has different keyboard. (unless he doesn't create a frankenpad from 230 with 220's keyboard, as I want to do :D).

Well in that case they should work. The keyboard looks like a refurb tough so maybe the refurb damaged it?

I got used to the x230 and typing on my t420 now feels subjectively worse imho

Sometimes I think in the same way when I'm trying my old x220, but there are actually two types of 220s (and earlier) keyboards. One of this is worse, than from x230, but another one is better for me. Will completely decide when will find that type, which I want (:

Whatcha think about Thinkpad x260?

Mostly about version with i3, 4GB RAM and best battery available?

What about price, WLAN and screen resolution?

Idk.

still is easily accessible and easy to replace battery so: "Murr"

Eh, i3 may be a bit lowpower for me but if you dont run vms on it, sure.

Also Intel will release soon U-cpu's with 4 cores!

Side one: I need to get any laptop to work with untill September.

Side two: I finally want a high quality device that would serve me 5+ years.

Just like my previous one did.

Eh, i3 may be a bit lowpower for me but if you dont run vms on it, sure.

Runing vm's always means a lot of cores. I have dual-core i5-4200U and it sucks.

Side two: I finally want a high quality device that would serve me 5+ years.

Go for it then. I'd go one higher one cpu and ram tough

Side three: I don't have money to buy a high quality device.

Runing vm's always means a lot of cores. I have dual-core i5-4200U and it sucks.

I run them remote but spice will cost you a ton of resources still

Side three: I don't have money to buy a high quality device.

look into x240/250 and t440s/t450s then

Go for it then. I'd go one higher one cpu and ram tough

Even worst x260 cost 2-3 times over my money.

they are available used for stupid cheap

In EU, yeah.

Not here.

H.264 decoding?

Not here.

how's russia import?

H.264 decoding?

I'd wish

Spice = Uncompressed Videostream in size almost

Spice = Uncompressed Videostream in size almost

AAAA

scaling with pixel amount

That means a lot of bandwidth.

Don't really want to even deal with buying anything such expensive somewhere where I can't beat the seller if they would get me low quality gear.

Even 300 (and 450) mbps wi-fi wouldn't be enough.

So viewing one machine over spice will use all my 800 Mbit/s wlan

Even 300 (and 450) mbps wi-fi wouldn't be enough.

I have 100mbit wired lan...

Even 300 (and 450) mbps wi-fi wouldn't be enough.

it would, but dropped frames

I have 100mbit wired lan...

me too.

But I use wlan sometimes.

oh right, eu-free russia

And it's even slower due to neighboors.

oh right, eu-free russia

Hmm?

Hmm?

no eu = no beating polish sellers to warranty

I just meant that I don't want to come through refund hell once again. Current one is still in process.

no eu = no beating polish sellers to warranty

In my case, even incountry isn't what I'd want to come through.

Even more painless (because usually a server shop) is itsco https://www.itsco.de/notebooks/lenovo-laptops But they dont have an as wide selection.

Intel HD should be enough.

Well... used thinkpads! XD

Best linux support of any laptop avilable mostly.

The biggest thing I need is very long battery life. 12-15 hours or more. Preferably 14" screen or less. Everything else is secondary.

I guess, something like x230.

With best in the line battery.

And with worst disk, ram, cpu options.

With best in the line battery.

Good thing about laptops like ThinkPads is that the battery is conveniently replaceable, so you can buy two of them to double your baterry life

what is not possible on some other laptops (looking at you, mba)

All the cool stuff for people with money though.

I don't know, you can buy a knock-off baterry which is not that expensive comparing to the cost of the laptop itself

and works just as fine as the original one

I don't know, you can buy a knock-off baterry which is not that expensive comparing to the cost of the laptop itself

To buy a battery, you first need to buy a laptop.

I guess, something like x230.

you want x240 for battery life.

x230's are rated at 35W, 240 are 15W.

They last a crapton longer just because of the cpu rating change.

Too expensive. :(

with the x230 you won't reach 14 hours battery life tough

I thought of buying 9cell and additional one that is placed at ODD place.

x240 looks perfect though.

But even x220 isn't in my pricerange. :/

I guess, I just don't have another choice.

Would give all the efforts to repair my laptop.

And save for a Thinkpad for few years.

What's your budget, @Gwindor?

Because X220s are cheap now: http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/product_detail/16738/Lenovo-Thinkpad-X220-12-5-Laptop-Intel-i5-2520M-2-5GHz-Processor-4GB-RAM-320GB-Windows-7-Professional/
