Durable laptops for not a ton of money?

I had that though. Jeez, it's like people don't read things. I don't know why you say tearing your computer apart is a bad thing either, it really isn't hard to do and it's honestly pretty easy to work on this thinkpad.

Again though, you can't drag a tower to a library or somewhere, it just doesn't work. Like I said too I can shove a desktop gpu on it if I grab a external pci-e adapter. They are like 50$, but it isn't like I really need to be playing games while I'm out and about. I just need to get somewhere quiet to actually get work done because it ain't happening where I live. Helps too that because I can't play a ton of games I end up focusing on more on what I want to do.

Getting a drawing tablet for a desktop is actually expensive too, this laptop is actually bargain in this department.

 

you just didnt try :p
