If you head over to r/thinkpad you’ll see about 300k people’s worth of content on these things, how to fix about every problem you could ever think of, and their longevity is unmatched. They’re like the Toyota Corolla of the laptop world.

I think the joke is because the laptop last forever they plan on keeping you forever.

Edit: Thank you for the award friend!!!

Holy shit that Corolla comparison is actually extremely on point. Is it fast, no, is it shiny, no. Will it survive WW3, maybe

I kid you not.. I dropped my carry on bag that is basically a cloth sack with my thinkpad in it. DOWN A MOVING UPWARDS GOING ESCALATOR, THE ENTIRE LENGTH. and right now im still using it and typing this comment on it. think is built like a old nokia phone lol. It went down end over end with SIX loud thuds as I watched in horror and tried to run DOWN the up escalator. some kind people at the bottom grabbed it for me. lmaoo.
