The Random Thread - Buffalo Wild Wings edition

[Hearst]

I used to stick to certain brands myself, i still do sometimes. However, now i look at reviews since pretty much every manufacturer has at least one good model and some lemons too.

Usually I just buy ThinkPads but I can't help feel a bit disappointed with my recent T420 from the lacklustre screen (+ stuck pixel), having the lid hinges failed after 5 months and the slow and stubborn service from IBM UK. I'm now contemplating whether to persist with them or defecting to another brand...

Spoiler :

Shhh don't tell this to Husky...

Not to mention Thinkpads aren't exactly cheap in the UK.

Did you get the 900p lcd or the stock crap 768p?

So far the T420 i got for my mother resisted my dad except for a slightly bent plastic heatsink protecting grill. The 900p lcd is decent too.

I have the AUO HD+ screen (900p), the anti-glare coating is really noticeable. I used other notebooks with matte screens and haven't come across one where it's really grainy as this one.

So when I use a different notebook and look at certain images I think to myself "My goodness am I really missing out on all these colours?"

I'll check this when i can get my paws on the laptop, i'll also check what lcd is in it. Quite happy with the monitor in my G73 even though it is a glossy one though.

Just thought of something, we're in off topic and we're discussing notebooks, the irony!

And while i'm at it: what's with PhD students infecting the lab with viruses, they should know better sheesh. I needed to get that off my chest, i guess i'll have to do a stealth virus removal from the computers, the guy in charge of the equipments doesn't want anyone messing with the comps. However since he's not too tech savvy when it comes to computers, he'll never know, muhahahaha.

Well 2.0 did say we should talk tech 24/7 even if it's in OT or not...
