oh no i went browsing second-hand thinkpads  

the 12.5" X270 is so cute 

Edit: ooh the X280 

Edit 2: X280 is on its way 

no thoughts head empty

thats why i need a thinkpad

My first ever computer of my very own was a ThinkPad[1] but I haven't owned another one ever since. I should really fix that.  

[1] it had Win 98, even though XP was already out at the time

Edit: fixed that 

 second-hand thinkpad ordered

Edit: it's on its way 

@odoben yooooo
@rail_ X280 1080p i5-8350U 16GB/256GB
@rail_ aaand it's not actually 1080p, it's 768p  
The listing was incorrect. 
@odoben 💀💀💀
@rail_ Yup, will be returning this. And hope to find a 1080p one around the same price.
@rail_ (Spoiler: that will probably be very difficult, this was an unusually good deal)
@odoben can't you just demand a replacement from the seller?
@rail_ They don't have another one. Well, they do have one that's also listed as 1080p so it could actually be 1080p (lol) but it has an ANSI keyboard which is terrible for a HU layout.
@odoben guhhhhhh >:C

@rail_ Hmm, there are some good deals for 14" ThinkPads though 

And 13.3" 

@rail_ Okay so the ANSI one is in fact 1080p, at least they're saying they've just checked  

So the question is do I accept their offer to change it out for that one. Or do I look for something else. 

Edit: I'll see if I can get them to swap out the keyboards in the two laptops and give me the 1080p one with the ISO layout 

@rail_ Except they also messed up the listing for the ANSI one because the title says 16GB but in the photo it clearly shows 8192M in the setup 💀
@odoben @rail_ At that point I'd ignore that seller
@exec @rail_ It's frustrating because they have a lot of ThinkPads at really good prices. Maybe I could try to get them to swap out the screens instead of the keyboards. 
@exec @rail_ I'll ask if they're willing to swap out the displays instead. They sold me a device they don't have so the least they could do is create that device 🤡

@exec @rail_ Update: they'll swap out the displays so I can have what I ordered  

Also this is not an individual seller but a small company and they have 1837 positive, 2 neutral and 0 negative reviews, so I'll be generous and assume this whole thing was because of some communication error 

@exec @rail_ They did it! I now have an X280 1080p 16GB with an ISO keyboard!
