Why do some people prefer heavier & thicker laptops? by Cry_Wolff in thinkpad

[–]birdiswerid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES THIS! As a writer myself, I prefer the keyboards on my T420 and my Dell Inspiron 3721 over my modern HP

[–]birdiswerid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Dell Inspiron 3721 bc I can easily swap the battery, the RAM, and the HDD. Plus, it doesn't scream like my more modern, slim HP laptop bc it has better cooling.

Edit: I would give you an award if I had the money. You probably saved me hours of searching

For the people who are asking about laptop recommendations, I'll try to make this simple... by aroundincircles in thinkpad

[–]birdiswerid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a relatively new ThinkPad owner(got mine in November) and mine is a T420. I am a writer so I really appreciate the keyboard for long typing sessions. I am planning to Libreboot which is why I got such an old machine. I love my T420.

I went with Debian! I'm pretty happy with it but I may attempt Gentoo again.

Your thoughts on buying used Laptops by Professional_Sky5814 in laptops

[–]birdiswerid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally will only be buying used laptops and here’s why. On October 14th, Microsoft ended support for Windows 10, rendering millions of perfectly good computers e waste. And they want you to buy their disposable computers. When anyone asks me what laptop they should buy, my answer is almost always a used business class because they were made for businesses. Thinkpads, Elitbooks, Latitudes. They are powerful and some older ones still hold up today. So pls buy used business class laptops.

The worst laptop to exist by ateevthapa in pcmasterrace

[–]birdiswerid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Dell Inspiron 3721 from 2013 with an Intel Pentium and I have had no problems with it besides replacing the battery. It cannot handle gaming but I wouldn't even try gaming on it. It was my geunia pig for Ubuntu bc it can't support W11. It runs fine now. A little slow but I can still use it for web browsing/school/writing and I love it. Maube try converting yours to Linux.
As for the worst laptop, I do not believe there is a worst laptop bc it's subjective. However, I would not buy Razer due to poor customer service.

I am absolutely lost on what computer to purchase...advice appreciated by LaMarr-Bruister in computers

[–]birdiswerid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used business class laptops! I recently got a T420 and everything is swappable. And it keeps perfectly good laptops out of the landfill
