Ngl, I thought this video was years old. But seeing it so recent, brings a smile to see that old thinkpads are still making an impact today. Keep up the good work!
BTW the keyboard mod for the xx30 series works for all of them. I switched my x230t keyboard to the classic style, and with a little bit of extra software magic make it work perfectly.
The USB 3.0 ports in the W520 are the only instance of such specification in a second gen Core iX I've ever seen. Until now, I believed every chipset from that era was still stuck on darn slow USB 2.0
Yessssssss Great Video!!!! I own the following that i daily drive, Thinkpad X201, Thinkpad T500, T520, T430, T540p, and all run Linux!!!!!!! Thinkpad for LIfe!!, Greetings from Cape Town
My T530 is a very nice computer. Big and heavy so I don't think it got moved much in its previous life. Core i7 and big 15" screen so it is a pleasure to use.
hands down the best one for the cult mentality if you wanna call it that is the x220 it's perfect although the lack of libreboot support is a massive downside it's not entirely free in that sense
im curious, is the thinkpad disccord still a thing? i got a few thinkpads that id like to price check with the community, cuz they have been sitting for years

Thinkpads will go long way. Thanks to the upgradability and linux friendly system design. Still rocking t440p.
the video that we need just dropped

Love it, the T420 is an awesome laptop. W530 also. Great video btw!

X220's USB3.0 is provided by a dedicated chip, not from the chipset, hence only the i7 model has them. I suspect that's the same for W520.
just bought a w520, glad to be typing this on it

The X230 with the CD-ROM option so it can swap with extra battery pack, with X220's keyboard, IPS screen.
No external Antena? Are you even on the spectrum bro ( ´,_ゝ`)
Is the classic keyboard swap easy to do? I saw some videos in youtube. Thought we need to cut the plastics etc.

The W520 is both my favorite and my daily
Great video. sound quallity could be better.
Got enough spare cash now. Still considering which one to get.
This is incredible

I feel like this video was made for me
i have a T470, a T530, an X201 and two X220. Out of 5, 3 are sold as scrap/parts.
i am lost without my thinkpad P52 its my portable workhorse ive spec out the ram to max and with 2 x 2tb nvme and 4tb 2.5 inch.
im curious, is the thinkpad disccord still a thing? i got a few thinkpads that id like to price check with the community, cuz they have been sitting for years
how well does the t420 run 1080p videos with its barebone hardware?
Any T440p's?
T430 modded gang!
T480
t420 gang
Run Linux on a w520....
I always thought the xx20 series was overrated. like either get a W500/T410/X201 or a T530/T430/X230, the T420,X220 is in such a weird place
the best of the cult is abandon the cult, the best for you, these old pos laptops are ready to be recycled
T480
