| cmaloney | Good morning | 14:23 |
| gamerchick02 | hey thinkpad-ers in the room... i've stumbled upon a sweet deal through newegg for a T410. does this one work well with 14.10? | 16:16 |
| rick_h_ | gamerchick02: definitely | 16:21 |
| rick_h_ | dk | 16:23 |
| gamerchick02 | woot! | 16:23 |
| gamerchick02 | thanks | 16:23 |
| gamerchick02 | $289 is a good price for it, yeah/ | 16:23 |
| gamerchick02 | ? | 16:23 |
| gamerchick02 | it's refurb through newegg. any experience getting something like that? | 16:24 |
| rick_h_ | not through newegg, I got a mac refurb before | 16:26 |
| rick_h_ | 289, depends on what's in it I guess. at that price you can upgrade ram/etc pretty well | 16:26 |

| gamerchick02 | that's the link to it | 16:27 |
| gamerchick02 | ooooh it has a DVD-ROM! | 16:27 |
| gamerchick02 | *sarcasm* | 16:27 |
| gamerchick02 | i wonder if i can remove that and lighten it and perhaps replace the HDD w/an SSD | 16:28 |
| gamerchick02 | personally, i love my macbook air. and i'm kinda waiting for it to not be supported anymore to plop ubuntu on it | 16:29 |
| rick_h_ | yea last time I had one I swapped out the dvd drive with a battery cell for a bit more juice | 16:30 |
| rick_h_ | hmm, doesn't say what res screen on it and you'll want to up the ram I'm sure | 16:31 |
| rick_h_ | but cool | 16:31 |
| rick_h_ | they're good solid laptops | 16:31 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah. not sure i'll drop the cash on it but a project laptop... that'll mean: macbook, windows beast of a desktop, and an ubuntu box. i dunno i if i wanna manage that all but that's such a good price!! | 16:32 |
| gamerchick02 | my macbook has 4gb ram on it and it runs well | 16:32 |
| gamerchick02 | for a portable writing/internet/etc machine it's super good | 16:32 |
| gamerchick02 | i like it because it's so dang light | 16:33 |
| gamerchick02 | do you know how heavy the T410 is? | 16:33 |
| rick_h_ | it's a bit chunky for sure | 16:33 |
| rick_h_ | if you're looking for an air replacement it's not that. that's more the x1 carbon | 16:33 |
| gamerchick02 | lol i don't want to replace my air | 16:36 |
| gamerchick02 | i love it to bits. and i never thought i'd love something that Apple put out | 16:37 |
| gamerchick02 | but it's so damn easy to deal with. | 16:37 |
| gamerchick02 | and it's light and quick and just... i dunno. | 16:37 |
| gamerchick02 | also, multiple desktops ahoy. i don't know why windows doesn't do that (would make my work laptop so much more efficient. | 16:45 |
| gamerchick02 | ) | 16:45 |
| jrwren | yeah, a T410 is ancient right? | 16:54 |
| jrwren | its from 2011ish? | 16:54 |
| rick_h_ | yea i5 but not sure which gen. the 450 is on the way this year | 16:55 |
| gamerchick02 | wow | 16:58 |
| gamerchick02 | my current laptop is 2012 gen... | 16:58 |
| gamerchick02 | "mid 2012" | 16:58 |
| gamerchick02 | i guess i don't want to get something that's kind of a step back. i'll wait till my macbook is unsupported and then plop ubuntu on it. | 16:59 |
| jrwren | doesn't apple typically support hardware with its OS for 5yrs? | 17:27 |
| gamerchick02 | :) | 18:07 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm not sure. probably | 18:07 |
| cmaloney | Hmmm... | 19:09 |
| cmaloney | Might get one so I can drop Ubuntu on it. | 19:09 |
| cmaloney | And have spare parts for the T410 that my dad got "such a deal" on. :) | 19:09 |
| cmaloney | I had one for Alcatel Lucent | 19:10 |
| cmaloney | resolution was decent, but I think it was 13xx x 768. | 19:10 |
| gamerchick02 | that's not any better than my macbook | 19:53 |
| gamerchick02 | (small screen!!) | 19:53 |
| cmaloney | Afternoon from the Clinton Macomb Library | 20:01 |
| gamerchick02 | howdy. how's the library? | 20:11 |
| cmaloney | I really miss this library | 20:12 |
| cmaloney | It's quiet, so I have headphones and music running. :) | 20:12 |
| * cmaloney is listening to Tangram - Desert Of Lost Blessings | 20:12 | |
| gamerchick02 | oh nice. | 20:12 |
| gamerchick02 | i should go back to the Auburn Hills Library to write and stuff | 20:12 |
| cmaloney | Since we're no longet r in the area I'm also tethering with my phone | 20:12 |
| cmaloney | Which is nice. | 20:13 |
| gamerchick02 | fewer distractions than my apartment (i have TV there) | 20:13 |
| cmaloney | Oh I have all sorts of distractions here. :) | 20:13 |
| cmaloney | Books, magazines, people | 20:13 |
| gamerchick02 | true | 20:13 |
| gamerchick02 | i have all that except people at my apartment | 20:13 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 20:14 |
| gamerchick02 | i don't want to drive back to my apartment (i'm at my mom's house) | 20:15 |
| cmaloney | Well, you have IRC. That's the same thing, right? | 20:17 |
| gamerchick02 | hah | 20:19 |
| gamerchick02 | true | 20:19 |
