    Is that a Thinkpad T420 😍 The last mode with the old-style keyboard, and all the doohickeys on the sides to fiddle with

      I’m also hunting for T420 as it has features that I crave. Unfortunately I’m a normalman among… everyone else, but I’m trying my best

        If I knew how to post images I would. I bought mine freshman year of college. I hoofed it a mile and a half off campus to a gas station where a man in an N64 shirt sold it to me for a hundred bucks on the hood of his car. He was towing a small trailer and “leaving town”.

        The thing is a tank. I take out the dvd drive module and it feels like reloading. It has these slots and fidgety bits that I would take out and put back in while in class, and somehow none of them have broken.

        The hardware wifi switch did leave me dazed and confused for a few hours a few times.
