no more custom thinkpads??
本帖最后由 l33t_P4j33t 于 2018-8-15 10:18 编辑I don't know if this is true, but I read some rumours going around that there will be no more custom thinkpads after x210
these motherboard installments are just becoming known outside of china, in communities such as
http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/67130667
https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/
I thinkit is a mistake to discontinue this right now
X220 and T420 are the most popular, the best course of action in my opinion is to make motherboards for these Thinkpads and sell them on an english website.Also, make more X210, T70, X62 laptops with newer procesors
Currently everything is sold out, so what more of an indication does there need to be that there is high demand?
the 3rd batch of X210 will begin within this month. HOPE 发表于 2018-8-15 08:00

X230 is the most popular also. I think x210 motherboard with 13.0 lcd screen is beautiful enough{:1_241:}
maybe buy 3rd batch again？ 本帖最后由 mrchangee 于 2018-8-15 08:32 编辑
The more modified motherboards going virus abroad, the more possibilities of X63 and T71. 51 Zhen shi wo hu cang long kuweitangshui 发表于 2018-8-15 08:55

51nb is niubility{:1_267:} X210 X320 X330... step by step i think, but there aslo are manyX330 fans in51nb although the X210 is the popular stuff at the present,it is ture that many guys love x220 on reddit but it looks like the demand from US,EU,.. are not unified enoughly, then from my viewpoint ,there is a biggest problem make the way rugged~ language , at least i saw many reddit-thinkpaders complain the language obstacle when they talk about the mods of 51nb

Maybe the manager team of 51nb need to consider a international edition of this site. MarsKeeper 发表于 2018-8-15 15:19

51 is really sleeping tiger hide dragon 1. It's true that there is such a rumor. Pity though, I think we should comprehend that because developing these custom TPs is really very exhausting. These motherboards cannot be produced one by one manually, and they must be produced going with mass-producting procedures. So there will be many difficulties and problems when designing the motherboards, to fit with the assembly line, such as where one of the resistances should be placed or which one should be soldered after another one. If we were making or soldering the motherboards manually ourselves, we won't consider about these, but in mass-production, they should be considered about. So as the quality controlling and taking responsibilities for mistakes. When getting into this period, the developers who taking responsibility for several hundred thousands dollars won't decide anything easily, because they won't have many times to correct mistakes as they wish.
But those are not the most disappointing things. What the most disappointing is that there are still many people who cannot understand this, and they start to fire out questions such as why no VGA/DP or other support, why no this and why no that, is it really difficult to add an ** support or you developers are just lazy/mammonish/stupid, and some of them even worse, start to swear. Maybe product developing exhausted them, though, they didn't give up, but the incomprehension really drove them into desapir.
2. Several months ago, there were arguments among 51nb forum if X220/X230 should be re-customized. Some people provided the same reason as you, these models are pretty popular among the TP users. But frankly, when Team HOPE started to re-customize T43/X61/T61, the 4:3 screen is one of the most important reason to force them to do so. If you do like TPs and the 6th, 7th or 8th Gen Intel Core-i*s, without other request, the X260, X270 and X280 would be enough. Why should they re-customize these models? On the other hand, the 2nd or 3rd Gen Intel Core-i*s doesn't lose much comparing with the 6th and 7th, so it won't be so meaningful to develop a new motherboards to replace them.
Buying X270 or replacing the X230 keyboard with X220 keyboard will be better choice. Afterall, every project of custom motherboard is related to much money and mass-production. It's not so easy to get started or to be gave up.
3. Though started from interest, since every project is related to much money, it DOES be very important to collect enough funds to get the mass-production started, so the demands are important, too. If they produced these motherboards manually, surely they didn't need demands, but without mass-producting, how can we consumers get these motherboards? There was a project to re-customize X301 in 51nb forum, but failed at last. A lot of people shouted and supported to make a project for X301 before the project starts, and finally, when the project got started and got to the time to raise funds, only about 10 people raised their money, HOPE himself included. This really became a joke.
So demands are needed, indeed. l33t_P4j33t 发表于 2018-8-15 03:21

If you invest to HOPE from overseas,his team will develop a new model. {:1_252:} lone2000 发表于 2018-8-15 12:05
