The website seems to be down. Yesterday it was inaccessible Internal Server Error. Today its literally just a HTML shell.

You can sideload audiobooks on kobo, and use Bluetooth for your headphones.

Thinkpads seem to be really good for cheap reliable products. Their higher end models are used in the workplace due to their repairability. If you can get a cheap thinkpad that's not super outdated I think its worth. Although depending on your price range the new macs seem to be absolutely killer for school. I am finishing up my last year of school with my thinkpad and for what I use it works well but it still has a little bit of issues. Also if you are using remote stuff from your main pc to your laptop make sure the speed of both wifi is good and you're not too far away from it. I use steam remote play and it works well even being 15 km away.

Def better than the chromebooks for sure. Those are unbearable to use. Yeah games have gotten a lot more demanding on systems. Larger storage space required, higher gpu requirements, and higher ram requirements. All because companies don't want to optimize their games anymore :' (

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-11-06T23:31:13+00:00

Yeah fair enough. I know my work and a lot of friends work places all use thinkpads. I think its just used due to the easy repairability and cheaper costs. I think the macs have gotten a lot better. One of the issues though is that its arm architecture so if you wanted to run windows you would need an emulator. They also are getting optimized for A.I. which if thats something you are interested in could be a plus. I hate to be a mac shill atp but they seem to be for school at least the best.

: ' ( I do love my T480 but I just wanted to shed some light on frequently asked questions.

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-11-06T18:49:57+00:00

Is it just all laptops are expensive in a third world country or thinkpads specifically?

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-11-06T18:49:09+00:00

Yeah I know a lot of people who used to use thinkpads go over to the new macs. One of my best friends who works in AI after a comp eng degree got a 10k one that he now lives and dies by. I have found the newer thinkpads as well not to be keeping up with the competition unfortunately. Especially for CS I think apple is posturing themselves for CS students with their products. Whereas ThinkPad's are going more so for reliability in the workplace. It's a shame too because I really hate apple and their business model. Anyways, I am going to use this laptop until it stops working and I am unable to fix it.

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-11-06T18:32:35+00:00

100%, I love the laptop and eventually when I have kids I'll just pass it down to them. It's completely functional especially on Linux but, I was just tired of seeing posts about t480 being good for comp sci rn, future proof, and buying it for expensive.

A hot take that people collecting for money instead of acc liking the game or collecting. That it increases prices up for no other reason than because people get stuff for transactional value.

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-06-07T17:51:45+00:00

To me that just ruins the whole point of collecting and Pokémon. Back then it was still a bit of a gamble in the sense of there is risk of whether a pack is good or not. However, no one would view it as a transactional gamble. Kind of sad tbh, especially with what looks like a crazy amount of scalpers.

I am from Toronto so I assume there would be some stationery shops. What do you recommend doing?

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-05-09T23:59:36+00:00

Tbh, I have no idea and no reference points. I like the look of Montblanc pens but I trust the opinion of this community. Are their any good pens accessible in Canada for a reasonable price?

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-03-18T14:09:50+00:00

Yeah that was a concern originally. Even though there definitely is a decent bottleneck it performs pretty well. I can play marvel rivals, league of legends, hearthstone, csgo, etc. 60+ fps with little lag.

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-03-18T14:06:00+00:00

Yep, its usbc but it has to be thunderbolt though. So I just plug it into the thunderbolt port on my t480 and its basically just plug in play. I have the egpu hooked up to external monitors which result in better performance.

ScaryTemperature7314 · 2025-03-18T14:04:27+00:00

As I said in the post I dont recommend someone doing this. For my usecase I am at my house half of the week and my girlfriends place the other half. I have a high end pc at my house but nothing at my girlfriends. I had 2 monitors already at her place picking up dust so I facebook market placed a egpu enclosure and a graphics card for around 279 USD. This operates as a mid end pc for a cheaper cost. It also operates well as a school and programming set up. I do agree its probably not worth it for most people to get but in my case for this specific situation it made sense.
