What the hell are you talking about?

Open up a laptop? Lots of reasons, #1 is shitposting

>>1136573
The CPU cooler makes no sense.

>>1136580
They couldn't have the cooler blowing in air and they didn't want to spend money on a heatpipe going to a second heatsink in front of the fan like most properly designed laptops have so they chose to go with general air circulation. I doubt that cpu is powerful enough to warrant redesigning the board for forced convection, even the battery looks cheap as fuck and they cut some scary corners.

>>1136583
This is what it should look like, and if you took apart that same model laptop with a better cpu, you would probably find that it does have a heat pipe since there is a massive empty L shaped space beside the fan.

What company shitted out this turd btw?

>>1136585
The one I posted is a Lanix (mexico), but is a common barebones board found in latin american imports rebranded under various names, like BGH, TONOMAC, EXO or BANGHO.

And the wifi antenna location is just awful.

>>1136585
That still looks pretty thrown together. This, on the other hand, is modern art and most consumers will never even see it.

>>1136594

Thank god engineering isn't about art. The thinkpad works for it's intended purpose, is durable and half the price of your artwork.

>>1136590
Is it common for consumer laptops to have wifi antennas like that, not in the lid?

>>1136601
thinkpads are business oriented garbage laptops
>ethernet port

>>1136608
Yes ethernet port, how else are you going to configure networking equipment?

A mac would be perfect for those girls in your pic while they attend their gender studies class.

>>1136585
>pretending that a t440 is an actual thinkpad

>>1136611
A Mac is sleek, elegant and reassuringly expensive. When I open up my Air in a meeting it sends the same message as when they see my Rolex. They know that I matter, that I am a force to be reckoned with, that I am to be listened to. When you open up your thinkpad, they probably just think you're poor and low ranking in your organisation because you were given a 10 year old laptop.

>>1136616
That's why some of us choose the dell's latitude and precision. It's the best all around. I've dropped mine a hundred times and it's still holding up like the first day.

>>1136616
>this is what people who have never worked in a corporate environment actually think

All having a Macbook would say is "I cant run legacy software that this business has been running for years"

>>1136621
People choose any other number of business class PCs because Lenovo has destroyed the Thinkpad line

>>1136594
>Soldered ram
>Art
It's art of you consider finger painting art.

>>1136569
There isn't one, that fan is doing nothing.

>Buying from the imitator, not the innovator

>>1136636
Innovator in what?
The world has worked towards thinner laptops since the day laptops were brought onto the market.

They dont even make their own chips anymore

>>1136636
Care to explain?

>>1136601
Chinkpads are kind of a joke now. Most of our developers worked on MBPs including entry level kids and pajeets. I think a few business guys had ThinkPad.

>>1136653
I'd assume they mean that it's a fake macbook

>>1136655
Yeah startups don't count as real companies.

Go into manufacturing and you'll find they issue thinkpads as standard business laptops. I myself used a W550 or something with a dock as my CAD station.

>>1136594
It looks like a surprised face!

>>1136668
that's only because your cad software won't run on OSX, it has nothing to do with you or your company and everything to do with autodesk (even if that's not what you use they define the market)

>>1136668
It's a small corporation with a little under 2000 people globally. Several hundred developers. MBPs are in, they have been for a few years.

>>1136621
>I've dropped mine a hundred times and it's still holding up like the first day.

If you think that statement through. it's not really something to be bragging about.

>>1136761
What an endorsement of resiliency, though: if it can stand up to the abuse dished out by that klutz, it can stand up to just about anyone.
