| ChinnoDog | Why are all the latest laptops so weak? The only thing they are good at is battery life. | 15:05 |
| * ChinnoDog installs hand crank on t400 | 15:05 | |
| JonathanD | Weak in what way? | 15:06 |
| ChinnoDog | They all have shortcomings. Not enough memory, screen res too low, not enough storage, and/or they are bricks | 15:09 |
| ChinnoDog | Never mind that some have touch screens. Those have even worse hardware specs. | 15:10 |
| ChinnoDog | Thinkpad x230 is a logical successor to this t400 but the screen resolution is /lower/. | 15:11 |
| ChinnoDog | x1 carbon has higher screen res and can be purchased with 8gb RAM but I already have 8gb. | 15:12 |
| ChinnoDog | I looked at other brands too and they all have the same caveats. Maybe my t400 is still awesome. | 15:12 |
| JonathanD | I blame TVs for the resolution thing. | 15:20 |
| JonathanD | WOuldn't a T something still be what you're after, though? | 15:21 |
| JonathanD | The X's are going to be smaller so the lower res doesn't suprise me much. | 15:22 |
| waltman | The MacBook Pro's a pretty bitchin' laptop :) | 15:22 |
| * waltman ducks | 15:22 | |
| JonathanD | I miss 1680x1050 | 15:22 |
| waltman | I miss 1600x1200 | 15:23 |
| JonathanD | mmmm | 15:23 |
| JonathanD | waltman: in some ways I do too, but 1680x1050 worked pretty well for 2 side by side "page" docs | 15:23 |
| JonathanD | the one I'm on now is 1600x900 | 15:24 |
| JonathanD | Looks like the T530 is 1920x1080 | 15:24 |
| waltman | One of my monitors here is 2560x1440. | 15:24 |
| waltman | It's crazy. | 15:24 |
| JonathanD | Everytime someone says "it's crazy" I hear that car commercial guy off the radio in my head. | 15:25 |
| waltman | For some reason I like OSX better at 16x9 than linux. | 15:25 |
| JonathanD | (when I'm with crissi, I usually say it out loud too) | 15:25 |
| teddy-dbear | https://www.system76.com/home/ | 15:28 |
| teddy-dbear | build your own | 15:28 |
| ChinnoDog | JonathanD: you have it backwards. The t230 has /lower/ resolution than the x1 carbon | 15:34 |
| JonathanD | x230 you mean? | 15:36 |
| JonathanD | I don't see a t230 | 15:36 |
| JonathanD | x1 screen is larger in general, probably part of it. | 15:38 |
| JonathanD | 12.5 vs 14 inch is a pretty big difference. | 15:39 |
| ChinnoDog | oh soryr. Yes, x230 | 15:50 |
| ChinnoDog | The t series is heavy | 15:51 |
| JonathanD | I like heavy. | 15:52 |
| waltman | Alienware makes some nice high-end laptops | 15:52 |
| ChinnoDog | Are they bricks? | 15:57 |
| waltman | Expensive bricks :) | 16:06 |
| ChinnoDog | I just confirmed that. 6+ lbs | 16:07 |
| JonathanD | see, the weight never really bothered me | 16:08 |
| JonathanD | I have a backpack I carry mine in, usually along with about a half gallon of water :P | 16:08 |
| JonathanD | the laptop is not that bad, considering. | 16:09 |
| ChinnoDog | I would want to replace with a tablet if they weren't so memory constrained | 16:12 |
