Hi,
I try to choose an old fashioned compact thinkpad with IPS screen. Now I'm almost sure that x220 is the thing that i'm looking for, but do you sugesst some other models? It's for web browsing and casual work, so i5 any generation can be fine and blue enter is necessary.

I think about x201 too, it looks even more classic and 16:10 screen, but tn instead of ips. hmm can't decide.

look at this guys, isn't wi-fi light blinking all the time on the x220? horrible. Now I'm more into x201

I decided afterall for x220, it's possible to switch off blinking led in registry, and x220 is newer platform with less overheating. Cant wait to take it home.

I got one yes, it's in great condition, and keyboard feels so comfy, and even there's a nice led lamp, happy.

    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
