ThinkPad (and Toughbook) thread

Tablet EliteBooks are shit IMO, get a 2570p instead. IB > SB, better iGPU and less power consumption.

Just installed Win2k on my UltraBay 2000 HDD adapter's HDD, installing drivers 'n shit now.

seller doesn't want to put his bank/personal info on any of his computers. he's doing the right thing to leave no prints behind

m8, you can TOO paranoid.

Besides, I doubt anyone would do banking on a fucking outdoor oriented computer.

Still haven't heard back from the eBay seller for these: ebay.com/itm/292167926672

That lamp next to the T22 makes me think of me of Brave Little Toaster. Wonder if I should buy a small desk for my T22 'n shit.

Also saw a IBM keyboard at a thrift shop today, had some weird ass QWERTY layout but it was black (T4x era?) with blue Enter/Shift keys, should I go back and buy it?

Fuck forgot pic again.

Holy shit, on second look I noticed that lamp awfully looks like Lampy!

I want to get a thinkpad, here's what I'm thinking:

T400 for $60 with 4gb RAM installed
$8 for an AC adapter
$8 for an ultrabay adapter
$55 for a 120gb SSD
$21 for a 320GB HDD from Toshiba.

total is $152, I might look into upgrading to 8gb RAM later on. all of it would be from Ebay.

what do you guys think of this? could I spend less than this?

Too expensive, grab a nice T5x0 or X230 for that money instead if you're not a freetard who wants trannyboot.

T4x0's have a shit tier screen apparently.
