This thread is for asking for recommendations on hardware to buy or software to use for a specific purpose. We can hopefully give each other some non-shit options.

I use the x200 with debian quite comfortably. It only has 2gb of ram rn, but I would like to upgrade it when ram prices go down. I have an SSD which makes it run quietly and fast. I came from an x60 and this shit is way better.

2gb of ram is plenty unless you run firecucks

Is the only place to get reasonably priced x200's ebay? I've looked at stores like https://store.vikings.net/x200-ryf-certfied and https://shop.libiquity.com/product/taurinus-x200 and they both price it at $600+ which seems pretty retarded. Also is the x200 the only laptop capable of being absolutely free of the intel management engine?

I think there's some website which sells computer shit for bitcoins, and they sell a variety of thinkpads. However, I have forgotten what the site is called.

Nanonymous No.974 [D] >>975

I got mine in a batch with a friend. I spent maybe $60 on my machine and just took the SSD out of my x60. I bought a genuine battery from ebay aswell so I have spent about $80 on my x200. And yes, I think the only resonably priced thinkpads are on ebay, as long as you don't mind a self-refurbish.

I thought I was fine with 2GB ram. Then I wanted to compile llvm, run a modern web browser, IDE etc. Now I have 8GB in my X61. ram is cheap, and definitely worth the upgrade if you are running out.

Nanonymous No.991 [D] >>992

Why not X201? It goes for 150€

Otherwise just look for refurbished, e.g. this (you will have to check authenticity, I didn't): https://www.reusetek.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x200-refurbished-laptop/

cdw for dumping/recording discs.
Simple, TUI-only, what more could you possibly want?

Nanonymous No.9068 [D]
Do not buy anything with Intel Management Engine or AMD PSP
those are backdoors. there is no point in using linux or Tor if you get backdoored with this ultimate backdoor

Nanonymous No.9075 [D]
pcliquidations. Sell much of many refurbished hardware. It's another store option.

Why not Purism?

Recalling from the top of my head: x220 could be trannybooted. But what is not trannied nowadays? Nothing is sacred for those faggots. Almost every single sinkpad presented on ebay is sold exclusively as a refurbished product (europoor here).
What are some good stores you know and had to deal with? Germans seem okay (it-mixx store owner called Schwarz lol), even provided a localized keyboard with normal size "enter" and "\" buttons.

Another piece of hardware is "SMC EtherEz Hub" hub. Thing is more than 20 years old, still rocks with 8 ports (1 of those is either straight or reversed).

Also dumbphone recommendation: get old Philips Xenium with physical keyboard. After some 5 years its 2Ah battery still holds A WHOLE MONTH on a single charge. Can your "phone" do the same? Checkmate, atheist!

Now going back to software recommendations:
*)get debian stable (preferable to upgrade 9.9 to 10.0). It is a linux for the people, unlike what amazoned ubuntu has become.
*)get keepassxc (works on both loonix and windows, its interface looks better on loonix though) - a password keeper and creator.
*)configure torsocks, privoxy, (if you have a good ssled DNS-provider get also a dnscrypt) - they take less than 30 minutes of your lifetime, but make it much easier to not leak all your connection info every second of your pathetic life.
*)use jacksum for all your daily checksum generation and validation needs
*)learn the power of mpv and youtube-dl (works on tor links too)
*)don't listen to "bald boomer" - install 'mc' a better file commander

it will still track you if you carry it with yourself, unless you remove battery

malware (systemd)
controlled by SJW niggers. they removed Weboob because it contains "boob" in it's name (that wasn't real reason but doesn't matter)

I want to buy a brand new thinkpad because of the mini usb3.0 charger. Which one should I pick? I want durability, max 14'' and not much processing power, though at least being compatible with openGL is great.

New ThinkPads are pozzed until they get Coreboot support afaik.
