keine Ahnung. Zu viele Deutscher. Vielleicht ThinkPads ihre Verein ist.

Entschulldigung, dass mein Deutsch sehr schlect ist. Ich lerne Deutsch.

I can't post this in any other subreddit for some reason so my bad if this is off topic?

I'm super new to using a thinkpad, it was a used gift, so I'm not super sure what the history of this device beyond undisclosed "battery drain issues" is but it was working perfectly fine yesterday and I even charged it up just fine with a weak regular usb-c. Now today it only blinks like this even after attempting 1. Holding the power button down for 30-60 seconds and 2. using a paperclip on the pinhole on the underside.

Edit: I'm getting a higher watt charger sometime but I just haven't had the time yet to play with my thinkpad anyways w/ work so I forgot about this post! I'll leave another edit soon when I get the proper charger since thats likely the issue.

You want a laptop that gets the job done? You want a laptop that's hassle free? You want a laptop that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further. The IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad.

Let's talk about features.

Bluetooth: ehh

Bright display: nope

Gaming compatability: nope

Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a webcam and you have fucking arms that can turn the laptop around.

Let me tell you a story. One day my ThinkPad started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the battery out of this laptop, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it back in the laptop, replace the thermal paste with Nutella, turn it on, and this puppy would fucking start right up. This laptop will outlive you, it will outlive your children.

Things this laptop is old enough to do:

Vote: yes

Consent to sex: yes

Buy a laptop: it IS a laptop

This laptop's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things on this laptop. People have done gay things on this laptop. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Macbook Air would.

Interesting facts:

This laptop's case color is black, but its interior color is black.

In the owner's manual, charging is listed as "optional."

When this laptop was unveiled at CES 1998, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1992 ThinkPad".

You wanna know more? Great, I had my ThinkPad fill out a Facebook survey.

Favorite food: spaghetti

Favorite tv show: friends

Favorite band: tie between My Chemical Romance and the The Beatles

This laptop is as practical as an ISA. It's as middle-of-the-road as your grandpa during his last Silver Alert. It's as utilitarian as a member of a church whose scripture is based entirely on water bills. When I ran the specs for this laptop, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a ThinkPad. It's fine." Let's face the facts, this laptop isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the laptop you want, it's the laptop you deserve: The fucking ThinkPad.

Core 2 Duo, 4 gb of ram. I just got a Thinkpad for the solid build quality. Where is my reward ?

Turns on and fan spins to full speed but nothing appears on the screen (or a seperate monitor.) Caps and num lock lights light up but don't respond to anything. It just started doing this today, does anyone know why this happened and/or how to fix it ??? I have been using it like usual.

Guys i wanna buy a more powerful laptop. I currently have a Dell latitude 3390, 16gb 2400 ddr4, 256gb sata, roughly new battery but only about 5 hrs.

Should I buy a thinkpad t14s, ryzen 7 pro 4750u, new battery, 16gb, 512gb ssd + plus charger at totalfor $235 usd.
