I wonder if this will suit up the “they don’t make them like they used to” crowd.

wipping?
UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Like a table where one leg is longer than the other three.

That is not called “wippping”, it’s not even a word.

It says full size rj45?

The machine doens’t wobble because there’s an Ethernet plugged in. The flappy thing is just to maintain the curve. I dont think it even touches the table when plugged in.

So they fixed it? Nice.

I can't speak to previous versions of the hinge port, but as a network engineer who is constantly using it I've had no complaints with the one from my 2024 model.

The complaint about the one I have on my work ZBook is that removing the cable is more fiddly

Not until everyone starts doing it. This used to be the norm.

No socketed CPU, soldered WiFi chip, no PCMCIA slot.

no PCMCIA slot.
Alright, Gramps. Let’s get you back to bed.

Predictable. Here’s a related issue, see if you spot the pattern.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And how is having a PCMCIA slot going to help with that?

Well they dont lol, they are super flimsy these days and most stuff is soldered on. Its good if this turns out to be the start of the return to good thinkpads, but i wouldnt get my hopes up yet.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What exactly is soldered on that shouldn’t be? If you want a processor that’s user replaceable, you should just get a PC. If RAM SSD and the ports are user replaceable, that sounds pretty good to me.

Why should it be?

Have you ever carried a laptop on actual travel? Like sprinting across a train station to catch your connection? You’ll definitely learn to appreciate a smaller lighter laptop.
