I stumbled across this post searching for any laptop that comes close remotely close to the Thinkpad T60 but I guess its a George Michael now. For this lonely reason, I buy refurbished unused Thinkpads and breathe them a new life by upgrading the RAM and swapping with SSD.<br /><br />Thanks for the article write-up<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15433204323328622627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170698494073103827.post-31507979587082157912017-07-24T19:28:46.974-04:002017-07-24T19:28:46.974-04:00I've been searching for posts like this for th...I've been searching for posts like this for the past 5 years. I'm still using a Thinkpad T410 that I've upgraded to SSD. I have like 3 or 4 of them now and any time I see a really good deal on one I pick it up. <br /><br />But - I'm an IT consultant and people see me using old tech and they figure something is wrong with my brain or I'm too cheap to get a new computer.<br /><br />Sadly, I haven't found anything I would consider - closest has been the Surface Book - but the reviews are not rave enough for it to deserve the high price tag, especially given mediocre battery performance.<br /><br />Maybe a Macbook Air running Linux? Maybe... I can Wine most of the Windows software I need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784093040061876718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170698494073103827.post-85280421919622769182016-12-07T10:37:32.188-05:002016-12-07T10:37:32.188-05:00There should be a lot more consumers pushing for v...There should be a lot more consumers pushing for vertical inches, but apparently people are leaving their brain at the wardrobe.<br />The Pixel would have been perfect if you upgrade the SSD and run Linux. But sadly it has been discontinued and almost erased from the internet, much like 4:3 screens were.blobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196591384447769583noreply@blogger.com
