[14:23] <cmaloney> Good morning
[16:16] <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?
[16:21] <rick_h_> gamerchick02: definitely
[16:23] <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> ?
[16:24] <gamerchick02> it's refurb through newegg. any experience getting something like that?
[16:26] <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

[16:27] <gamerchick02> that's the link to it
[16:27] <gamerchick02> ooooh it has a DVD-ROM!
[16:27] <gamerchick02> *sarcasm*
[16:28] <gamerchick02> i wonder if i can remove that and lighten it and perhaps replace the HDD w/an SSD
[16:29] <gamerchick02> personally, i love my macbook air. and i'm kinda waiting for it to not be supported anymore to plop ubuntu on it
[16:30] <rick_h_> yea last time I had one I swapped out the dvd drive with a battery cell for a bit more juice
[16:31] <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
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <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
[16:36] <gamerchick02> lol i don't want to replace my air
[16:37] <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.
[16:45] <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> )
[16:54] <jrwren> yeah, a T410 is ancient right?
[16:54] <jrwren> its from 2011ish?
[16:55] <rick_h_> yea i5 but not sure which gen. the 450 is on the way this year
[16:58] <gamerchick02> wow
[16:58] <gamerchick02> my current laptop is 2012 gen...
[16:58] <gamerchick02> "mid 2012"
[16:59] <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.
[17:27] <jrwren> doesn't apple typically support hardware with its OS for 5yrs?
[18:07] <gamerchick02> :)
[18:07] <gamerchick02> i'm not sure. probably
[19:09] <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. :)
[19:10] <cmaloney> I had one for Alcatel Lucent
[19:10] <cmaloney> resolution was decent, but I think it was 13xx x 768.
[19:53] <gamerchick02> that's not any better than my macbook
[19:53] <gamerchick02> (small screen!!)
[20:01] <cmaloney> Afternoon from the Clinton Macomb Library
[20:11] <gamerchick02> howdy. how's the library?
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <cmaloney> Heh
[20:15] <gamerchick02> i don't want to drive back to my apartment (i'm at my mom's house)
[20:17] <cmaloney> Well, you have IRC. That's the same thing, right?
[20:19] <gamerchick02> hah
[20:19] <gamerchick02> true
