Used ThinkPad's are stupid cheap and insanely reliable  

“ I grew up poor as fuck” had me dieing

The Greatest Technician that’s Ever Lived returns again

"It has more ports than Hong Kong so you don't need an adapter to charge your vibr- aPpLe wAtCh" bro 💀💀💀

This model, the ThinkPad P52 and the ThinkPad T480 are also called "the very last great ThinkPad" as it offered a lot of customization (fully upgradable RAM, a lot of port selection, and swappable battery) that got taken away in the next generation

"It has more ports than Hong Kong" 😂😂

We all love BBL's on this channel

"Like your meat does after a failed tinder date" 😭😭

Bro real when he said he grew up poor that shit hit different

'The greatest technician thats ever lived' never gets old.

I gotta find that kind of ring camera

The Sussiest technician that's ever lived

The p50 is awesome. Had a p71 in college and that thing was a monster.

I think the dings and scratches on the laptop add character, like battles well fought that it made it through to get here today.

BBL has just been added to my vocabulary

Please stay consistent like this with your uploads,it felt like an year not seeing the *GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT'S EVER LIVED* (bass boosted)

Currently rocking this exact thinkpad. One thing I love about it is that the hinge does not make any creaking sound when opening the lid. And also it feels like a slab of solid aluminum.

*The greatest technician that’s ever lived* -🤖

the greatest BBL of all time.

THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THATS EVER LIVED. always love your posts man

I have 20 thinkpad's in the room with me right now, all of them were free, I will never run out of working laptops

I am not poor but fixing up electronics and making myself useful DIY makes me so much happy man. Like recently i fixed some fairy lights and made myself a phone and laptop cooler. Not only i save money but i feel great that i save so much stuf going into dump and helping environment 😊

The Greatest Technician of All Time

“Of course it will have some dings and imperfections” *small voice*”don’t we all” 💀💀😂

this man’s jokes and out of pocket lines are the funniest things i’ve ever heard

For the bloody algorithm

I forgot that there were thinkpads that new that were still good. I bought an ideapad that was practically DOA years ago and it made me disregard the whole company so it's nice to know I wouldn't have to go as far back as the IBM models to get something decent.

I feel you brotha. I grew poor as fuck too and it help mold me into the greatest home certified engineer thats ever lived. Great content, your channel is a fresh breath of air in the tech community.

Had one of these for work. Never a problem in 3 years, just a reliable machine. Way better than the budget crap they sell for home use in best buy.

Ah yes, the ClitMouse™

using a p51 with 32 gigs of ram smooth as butter for web development and moderate gaming

I had got a few Toshiba Satellite laptops from the late 90's from my uncle and they weighed probably 10 pounds each. I miss them

“I grew up poor as fuck” relatable

I understand the struggle man!!

Imaginary group of friends you didn't had to go that deep😢

Did the same thing, needed a PC for myself but instead of buying a new one i got a 5 year old HP desktop which are generally used by offices for document editing and stuff, had decent specs i5 6500 and 8gigs of ram, all under 200 dollars

The greatest technician that’s ever lived really loves his BBLS

I personally love BBCs Big Black Computers Just my type

I feel personally attacked by the tinder date thing

These thinkpads look good

We had a ThinkPad at home and boy, did that thing last. No screen, no battery, half the keys missing, BUT IT STILL DAMN BOOTS UP AND RUNS HALFWAY DECENT CONSIDERING THAT ITS LIKE 15 YEARS OLD NOW. Salute to a legend

The greatest technician intro was spot on this video! 😂

I rescued a ThinkPad L480 at a recycling center. It came with no bottom case and no SSD tho. I remember seeing it fall when i tried taking it from the e waste center. I gave it a 512 GB NVMe SSD and I still need a bottom cover for it. It still works tho, and it works very well too

That poor ps3 should be a war crime💀

i bought a t540p for 60 dollars inclusive of shipping so it was basically 40 dollars. saw other offers for ThinkPads for 70 dollars that included a spare battery and an i7 instead of i5 like the one I bought. it runs fast AF and it's dope as hell I love it...keep spreading the word. the p series are my dream ThinkPad.

"so you don't need an adapter to charge your vibr... Apple Watch"😂

As someone who fixed a free broken thinkpad who used it for over a year, I can confirm that these things are amazing. I only stopped using it bc I upgraded

Quality old ones always beat the new crappy ones. My Dress watch was made in July of 1998. It's a Quartz from Seiko. Serviceable Quartz. Have One of the Best Quartz movement of all time 9F83. Bought it when i was a freshman in Univ(i'm proud dropout). And I know this watch will outlive myself. Because i once had 1970's Quarts watch, running greatly in 2010’s. Now It is old and beaten like myself. Not pricy at all in used market but still need to put some good amount of $$$ for get serviced by authentic technicians. But did i regret about the purchase in my life? No. It never happened. What is meaning of it's current price if you never gonna sell it? Same goes to Vehicles.

im so glad the used ThinkPad scene is getting the attention it deserves

I love that there's just a bare ps3 there. If it works it works

That's my old work notebook, i loved that thing

My old Thinkpad was one of the most solid computers I've had. All it needs is a new battery and some cleaning up and I bet it go on for a a few more years.

Got one for christmas, because I knew it's one of the most powerful Windows 7 compatible laptop. So far, hasn't failed me once and it's been an absolute JOY to use. Most powerful PC I've owned

I bought a used T490 three years ago and irs still going great.

Picked up a P50 a couple of years ago for 600$. Absolutely love that thing. I am still trying to track down a port replicater for it.

What a roller coaster of emotions i just went through 💀

I sell a different brand for my employer and have been in tech 30 years. However, I recommend used Thinkpads to friends and family. All my kids have used thinkPads. They are solid.

I own a p50 like this one, pretty solid machine and huge upgrade options.

I hope his parents are proud of him now. He is awesome

My Australian ass immediately thought ‘big bash league’

"Don't we all?" That was as deep af

The Greatest Technician that EVER LIVED💀

"I grew up poor as fuck" i can relate to that

Funny, I watch this short right now on my P51. I bought it used 1,5 year ago. With I7, Quadro graphiccard, 32 gb ram and 1 tb nvme ssd storage, for 600 euro. I use it for work and study and it´s a great device.

THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT'S EVER LIVED!

Excuse you mr The Greatest Technician that's ever lived but we do not "beat our meat" this month 😞

Oh yes, I hate when I have to jump through hoops to charge my dilapple watch and cocring doorbell.

The greatest technician that ever lived had me off guard😂😂😂😂 that had me dying

My pc was bought refurbished on ebay, best idea i ever had

Call that a Thiccpad

Shit i love BBL's aswell,

The funny thing is that the IT dept in my college only lent out Lenovo Thinkpads. They were assigned to the professors as well if they didn't have their own and it's a literal dinosaur to carry around. But man did they hold up over the years...

Missed the "BBC" BIG BLACK COMPUTERS

So that's how you turn yourself in the GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT HAS EVER LIVED.

"thinkpads" doesn't need an apostrophe

I just wish they made laptops more upgradable in terms of CPU etc.

"Quality used tech vs cheap new" That's a quality piece of info there for anyone

Still have a thinkpad, T430 to be precise still works as new.

Love the video! My college library has a loaner laptop that looks like this and it's pretty much new. Being able to use a reliable computer in a quiet space has exponentially helped my productivity.

“Usually with duct tape” same here, I’m stuck repairing my laptop with rubber bands, scotch tape, and prayers

fun fact. if u cant find a hammer, use ur old thinkpad

When I was in college, the university first implemented a policy that all students had to have a laptop. This was the laptop that the university would sell to you if you didn’t want to buy a different one, and what they gave for free to students that were there on financial aid. Everyone assumed that, because the university was giving them out, they must have sucked- but we were all pleasantly surprised at how solid they were.

we gotta make a company that builds new laptops rugged like old ones but with modern hardware and actual upgradability

TRUTH. Those milled aluminum hinges should be industry standard

we still got a T520 fro 2009 i think? I slapped in a 120GB SSD and gave it to my mother, she uses it for FB and the games up there, watching movies and series and browsing the net, 100% goot for it + i connected a 24" samsung monitor that i used for my gaming setup so she can actually see on the biger screen so it's all fine but yeah, thinkpads are something else, like goddamn it's from 2009 and the keyboard is still one of the bests i've ever used

“Are you buying a laptop to flex ur imaginary group of friends” 💀

2017-2018 had the last acceptable ThinkPads... Some argue 2013 or even 2005 but I like to say 2018. Sure, it doesn't have the same fit and finish, but they still hold up great

It's the perfect size. I don't think they should make laptops smaller than this.

We want an origin story of the Greatest Technician That Ever Lived!

I had a refurbished Thinkpad for a while. Amazing machines

Another case of "it's more expensive to be poor that to be rich"

i cant watch these videos without repeating "the greatest technician that's ever lived" after you anymore

his evil twin: the worst technician that ever died

➢ Thinkpad X230 and X260 were also essentially smaller but equally as great. .- I have an X230, and the amount of ports including DisplayPort and size make it carryable like a MacBook

This is definitely the way. Businesses usually have a rotation of their laptop and desktop fleet around every 3 to 4 years in big companies and most of the time theyre in decent workable condition and are much sturdier than your normal tech store laptops. Stuff like your Dell Latitudes, Lenovo Thinkpads, HP ProBooks etc are your go to.

I couldnt make people understand that for years dude. The thing to me is, when you pay for something expensive your expectations would be high as well as the price. But when you find -most of the time used- stuff and they actually work better than you expect, or fits your expectations it makes it a lot better.

I find it crazy that a tech repair channel can put out some of the funniest content on shorts right now

wait a second i googled where i can buy a bbl and i tought it was gonna show me a big laptop that was no laptop

All these ThinkPads are going to turn you into THE THICCEST TECHNICIAN THAT EVER LIVED

the thinkpad t440s is also amazing.

must be nice to charge a vibrating apple watch with laptop
