Basic Thinkpad Guide

Most modern labtops you get at the store suck. They're pre-installed with bloat OS, they're impossible to fix/control/customize, and they usually break down in 4 years.

This is exactly why Thinkpads are loved so much. They're usually very cheap, they're easy to control/customize and they're very easy to fix. But which Thinkpad should you get?

Well I created a basic guide with all the different types.

The newest Thinkpads aren't bad, but they are really expensive $1000+ ... Most of the Thinkpads here are $100-$300 at most. You can find them all on ebay.
