I want to get some stickers for my laptop.

@Kovaelin
Stickers are so cool! But I want to get a new laptop.... XD

@k11m1

I like my laptops on the nude, pretty as they were made. But then, Thinkpads and EliteBooks are soooo good looking, lol.

Love them. Typing this as most of my fediverse content, on my oh-so-lovely HP EliteBook. Best computer in the house.

Full Aluminum, military-spec chassis design. And it's years old but kicks the ass of most new models.

I think on my lenovo those stickers look really good tho! I might send pics someday.... But not now
@Kovaelin

@k11m1 Ok, I am looking forward to seeing them. 😃

Got a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 on the table here as well. Not lighted up atm, as this HP is much more powerful.

@Kovaelin

@design_RG
Mine is very old thats why I am considering buying new one
@Kovaelin

@k11m1
I see. Depending on where you are, you might be able to get some great deals on off-lease hardware.

here in my region, I can get Business class IT gear for quite low prices - people use t for 3 years, then get new lease and new gear.

Big names and loaded, well built machines. Not consumer grade, those came with full 3 years warranty to start with. And yet, now they are cheap -- too many of them around.

Great for buyers.

Sounds very nice but I dont have contacts nor knowledge...
@Kovaelin

@k11m1 I bought my T580 directly from Lenovo, but I got lucky with the price. They're usually quite marked up. Before that, I was keeping my eye out for a used T480.

@Kovaelin
I dont have enough money to buy nice thinkpad....
@design_RG

@k11m1
Got a nice one -- with an i7 processor, 8 GB ram, 256 GB SSD.

How much ? 250 CAD, about 180 USD or so.

@Kovaelin

@design_RG
What.... That sounds too cheap
@Kovaelin

@k11m1

Honest to God. That is including sales tax -- it was $225 CAD before tax, free shipping. And it came perfect, packaged so well.

I wanted to send one overseas to a friend, and the quotes I got, shipping only were about $350 CAD. So, impossible to justify.

I am telling you about this kind of deal because many people don't know about them. In the USA there's even more. In Europe it could be more expensive, but it's such a lovely place to live that I wouldn't mind paying the extra costs.

@Kovaelin

@design_RG
Ye.... You are right... Its more expensive but er dont have things like in america.... I can't even complain
@Kovaelin

@k11m1
Are you in Europe, then? I noticed systems prices a bit higher there. Got a very nice deal on a mobile though
