    broke my f5, now I'm ctrl+r :)

    Awesome, what happens when you break R as well?

    Use this instead. https://gprivate.com/6edse

    Rebinding is always an option. We were just playing around.

    yeah, I didn't actually break it though I have probably taken some life away from it. I forget how many keypress a thinkpad keyboard is rated for though it's a T series so it's super easy to replace.

    Thinkpads are usually sturdy. Is it an older one though. Those were as sturdy as the Nokia 3310. Newer Thinkpads aren't that strong, from what I've heard.

    They're still better than most but sadly, they went the route of basically everything soldered except the nvme. I've only had to replace the keyboard when a bunch of snow fell on it (was outside since it was a nice day) and a couple of keys stopped working

    Even memory modules come pre-soldered on ThinkPads now? Is that what you are saying?

    yep :disappointed:

    That's too cheap of Lenovo to destroy something considered a basic necessity. The sturdy build and upgradability made ThinkPads, ThinkPads. Slowly, these big companies seem to be taking everything we love, away. Ig, Asus started the trend of soldered RAMs on low-mid-end laptops, and then, everyone started copying it blindly. Feel bad for the new MSI Modern laptops that have pre-soldered RAM with no additional slots.

    Yeah, I hope framework eventually comes out with a trackpoint like nub and buttons, I would fully switch to them. I've tried using laptops without it and I can't do it, I had to buy the trackpoint ii keyboard for my work laptop.

    Isn't framework stuff CADs freely out there? Someone could always create one and sell it. (I could be very wrong on this)

    Yeah in theory.

    Should we retire today? or just wait till tomorrow :lol

    LOL! He's cool. Dustin might just throw another GA to celebrate Frank's return.

    @FrankZ -- How's the RackNerd shirts holding up? We also have a new design, if you're interested B)

    New design. Can't wait. BTW, any new colours available?

    As of now, the shirts are black. I personally had some white ones made and they look good too. So we might make some of those. But with the new design, black looks great too. Any suggested colors for the future?

    Apart from the Black and White, I'd love to see some in RackNerd logo's colours, Blue, Black and White or their gradients. Maybe some with awesome captions. And, for us to commemorate the threads and GAs, I'd love to see some with the Chef on it. Maybe the Chef sprinkling salt like powder which magically converts to a server when it hits the plate or something like that.

    Best laptops seem to be framework, at least upgrade wise. But it sucks if you want to pick a laptop you can upgrade later if only one company does it, as you don't have options, just whatever they have.

    Yah, but, do they allow for advanced components yet - 40 Series GPU, etc.?

    They know a lot from the old thinkpad community has been asking for it! Since they were focusing on their 16in line (wasn't out at the time), I figured they would eventually come back to it. They could seriously take a lot of thinkpad users since thinkpads has been getting less replacable/upgradable

    Wish they somehow brought that in as well. But, did you see what Snapdragon is doing nowadays with the 8 Elite 2? It is even capable of emulating X86 games, rather smoothly. I believe soon, it's gonna be the era of ARM.

    Beast! I'm still on a 3090, personally, but it does so well, IMO. I will upgrade my GPUs, to 5090s (home and office) once they're available.

    Even memory modules come pre-soldered on ThinkPads now? Is that what you are saying?

    yep :disappointed:

    That's too cheap of Lenovo to destroy something considered a basic necessity. The sturdy build and upgradability made ThinkPads, ThinkPads. Slowly, these big companies seem to be taking everything we love, away. Ig, Asus started the trend of soldered RAMs on low-mid-end laptops, and then, everyone started copying it blindly. Feel bad for the new MSI Modern laptops that have pre-soldered RAM with no additional slots.

    Yeah, I hope framework eventually comes out with a trackpoint like nub and buttons, I would fully switch to them. I've tried using laptops without it and I can't do it, I had to buy the trackpoint ii keyboard for my work laptop.

    Isn't framework stuff CADs freely out there? Someone could always create one and sell it. (I could be very wrong on this)

    Yeah, someone who is smarter/knows that type of stuff (I don't). I would totally buy it if someone did (I know I'm not that only one that wants a trackpoint option on them)

    Ain't this exactly what you were looking for @PuDLeZ ?

    I'm set with my gaming PC here so I'm not interested in winning one of those. My 5800X/4070 are doing just fine.

    Beast! I'm still on a 3090, personally, but it does so well, IMO. I will upgrade my GPUs, to 5090s (home and office) once they're available.

    Whew! I think the 3090 still outperforms a 4070. And certainly has more VRAM.

    broke my f5, now I'm ctrl+r :)

    Awesome, what happens when you break R as well?

    Use this instead. https://gprivate.com/6edse

    Rebinding is always an option. We were just playing around.

    yeah, I didn't actually break it though I have probably taken some life away from it. I forget how many keypress a thinkpad keyboard is rated for though it's a T series so it's super easy to replace.

    Thinkpads are usually sturdy. Is it an older one though. Those were as sturdy as the Nokia 3310. Newer Thinkpads aren't that strong, from what I've heard.

    They're still better than most but sadly, they went the route of basically everything soldered except the nvme. I've only had to replace the keyboard when a bunch of snow fell on it (was outside since it was a nice day) and a couple of keys stopped working

    Even memory modules come pre-soldered on ThinkPads now? Is that what you are saying?

    I think it is, but it might never see the light of day. It's some guy making it and no idea what his plans are tbh. He might stop at some point. Maybe make a guide to do this, or sell keyboards.

    You could try contacting them. Their company much like RackNerd and LET appreciates and thrives on community support.

    They know a lot from the old thinkpad community has been asking for it! Since they were focusing on their 16in line (wasn't out at the time), I figured they would eventually come back to it. They could seriously take a lot of thinkpad users since thinkpads has been getting less replacable/upgradable

    Yah totally. If at all they could provide better spec options in terms of CPU and GPU, their userbase would expand exponentially.

    Turns out a $3 trillion company is hard to play ball with, who would have guessed?

    Oh, I thought these were from a 3rd party manufacturer. But, anyways, pretty sure, there's a niche market for this. Might just popup on Indiegogo sometime in the near future. No one knows.
