100% worth it for the keyboard nipple!
I don’t understand why computers need G-spots
Training mostly
Yes.
With great sacrifice, comes great responsibility…
Yes
How do they make it red though?
Dell’s Engineer’s Blood.
As it should be!
(I’m currently using a Dell)
Hey, dells used to be decent. I thing my latitude 5290 is a better investment then a x280 (since it has upgradable ram and practically same build quality).
If only it were so eco friendly
I prefer the nub over the track pad any day of the week.
What about Wednesday?
Specially on Wednesday, my dudes
Wednesday clearly isn’t a day of the week, so you can infer a “no.”
Thinkpads used to be quality machines, but my last two laptops broke after just a year. One was keyboard, other was mouse pad.
Is it really that hard to put quality components in parts that are physically touched a lot?
Im going for some other brand next time but they all kind of suck now it seems.
It’s not hard, but the more laptop lasts, the longer it will take before you buy a new one.
My 2017 MacBook pro, the shittiest MacBook version of the 21rst century, functioned well and was my primary computer until a couple months ago.
I’m not that familiar with newer ThinkPads as I only ever used a L540 and a T420, but can’t you just replace the trackpad or keyboard if it breaks?
I have a X220 and a T14 Gen 2 (11th gen Intel core) and the quality is night and day. Also they introduced cheaper models like an E series, the L series and those have even worse materials or QC.
That’s not the point. A laptop should last more than a year.
Yeah, you’re right. A brand new one, anyway.
I probably can, yeah. Its just that it feels like I lose trust in a brand where such things break so easily.
I know its not comparable, but my external keyboard and mouse has worked for probably 6 years now without a single problem. Why is it so hard to put quality components in a laptop. Seems like cost savings. And those machines are really expensive.
Sadly Apple is the only company making good laptop hardware it seems. Just have to deal with a huge price tag and reduced compatibility!
I mean… There’s good laptop brands. Stuff like https://shop.mntre.com/ or https://frame.work/
Intriguing… How well does debian work with an arm CPU?
Which models?
I got a framework, which is built around quality parts, repairability, and upgradeability. Theoretically it’s the last laptop I will ever buy.
I liked the concept but the reviews have not been amazing. I hope you like it, because I would love to have one if its actually good.
Frameworks are the only good worthy successor imo.
Not leaving home row for the win
pro tip if you don’t want to buy another cap (or you don’t live in europe/US and only way to buy is by buying enough to open your own trackpad cap’s store):
You can remove the cap, put a piece of soft paper or cotton inside the cap’s hole and it will give you more leverage.
It is basically the same effect of using a taller cap.
You will need to tweak the amount of cotton/tissue to your taste, but I can use my trackpad with 3.0 sensitivity.
manwhile, before I mad this “DIWhy”, I had to crank up to 10 and even that was not enough. Also the mouse basically teleported across screen with minimal touch (but still huge pressure to pain the tip of my finger)
At least this is the vegan option. They used to be made from cat snouts.
I think you misunderstood what people meant when they talked it being part of a pussy
Vegetarian mouse
ABSOLUTELY
