ThinkPad (and Toughbook) thread

I'm thinking of getting a thinkpad and making it ad free as possible. Would a t60 be better for this or an x60 be better?

They're the same thing. Basically any libreboot-able memepad is "as free as possible". It just so happens that those ones are easier to libreboot.

EXWM or bust.

FUCK my life. There's a crack in the lid of my CF-19.

Thank god I can use a lid from a 19 Mk3 or up though. except there are none up for sale on JewBay as of now

Lads, Ryzen Thinkpads are becoming a thing. Really tempted to upgrade my 10 year old T400 for a A485. Hopefully the specs will be ok. I'm also concerned about the build quality which was quite random the last years...

Should be the same as the X280 and T480, the Aseries use the same chassis as them.

Found someone selling a job lot of disassembled CF-19's, waiting on him to get back from vacantion so I can buy it.

Thinking of buying a Thinkpad.

Either the X220 with some scratches for $160, sold by a private person or a T420 from a second-hand reseller with a 12 month warranty for $250.

Is it worth the extra money to feel safer?

I'd go with a T430 and swap the keyboard.

First ThinkPad? T430. The "classic" keyboard on the T420 really isn't all that - it just happens to have the old layout (not *really* important if you've never owned a ThinkPad before). Something to note is that you won't be able to use third-party batteries.
The T420 keyboard doesn't hold a candle to a T60 (NMB), 360PE, or T4x keyboard. You can try it out though, like the other user said.

Thanks for the help, got carried away by some Luke Smith video.
