Now I get why people love ThinkPads!

This video was all written, edited and rendered from the ThinkPad T450. It took around 40 minutes to render using the Olive editor, but it never got very hot and the fans were barely audible.

(This video was gonna be uploaded on April 1st, but I realized it would look like a joke)

I've never had a better laptop for use as a laptop than my old ThinkPad.

If you master the trackpoint on a fairly new laptop(the ones that have no track point drift) you can be over powered in fps games XD. I saw one of my friend do that once

Good news, the displays on the vast majority of ThinkPads (including yours) are dead simple to upgrade.

You can upgrade to a 1080p IPS panel quite easily. Just find a compatible panel (you can search for a T450 1080p IPS screen in a search engine of your choice), remove the external battery, go into the BIOS and turn off the internal battery for servicing. You can than take off the bezel of the laptop using a thin sharp prying tool (without doing anything else), than unscrew the screen, take it out, and install your new one. Than put the bezel back on and you're golden.

Just to note, I've heard that a few panels for the T450 work but don't allow you to adjust brightness in Windows, however do work in GNU/Linux. Seeing that you don't use Windows, that should be no problem.

Also on another note, you can swap the FN and CTRL keys in the BIOS.

I'm planning to buy a ThinkPad t430. It comes with an 500gb hard drive but i plan to upgrade it to a 1tb ssd.


Is it worth it? I plan to use it with linux mint and i plan to use it for homework, watching movies and youtube vids and as a storage device.

I have a 15 inch MSI Alpha. Similar looking design. Linux compatible too but more optimized for gaming. Quite a bit more pricey due to containing gaming hardware tho.

I have a 200 dollar budget and iam thinking to buy one but my question is can it do programming without stuter and does it heat up fast
