You could buy a nice gaming laptop for that price. I thought the appeal of think pads was that you buy an old one cheap. It's just me I guess but I don't enjoy using them.
Maybe I could, but I'm not using it for gaming so battery life, portability, and fan noise don't have to be sacrificed for a few more FPS when I wanna play something light on the road.
The Tim Taylor approach to hardware was great when I was a kid, less so in my 40s looking to do some moderate coding and radio projects on the road away from my massively overbuilt gaming rig I already own. This lil guy checks all those boxes. I was just wondering what specific hate there was on newer models.
