Placeholder page!
Price research done on June 24th to July 16th of 2024!
Hello everyone, not gonna do a long ass table post anymore. I’ll be working on making a fucking webpage for all the ThinkPads in the worst possible way because I don’t understand how to use MySQL and databases. There will be 400 pages I will have to do and its gonna take a long time.
Gonna be fun tho 🙂 I will explain everything to the best of my Dunning-Kruger Effect knowledge as possible.
It’s essentially gonna be like ThinkWiki minus the boring shit and with my Price research and maybe a graph if things go well.
Maybe I’ll start something and someone else will implement a better idea. If that’s the case, then I would link to their page, and i’ll be chill with just doing prices. Who knows.
TPG 9 is a bit half assed, I added a few new machines, but did not do any due diligence on specs and stuff. There’s a lot of machine i didn’t add, so you’ll see a P16 G2 but no P16v G2 or whatever. And on the P16 G2 there isn’t specs on the main file. oh well 😀
Anyways here’s the links.

I am open to recommendations. Comment here of other websites or uhhh if you want to help? idk i’ve been kinda solo on this and I just want to have fun.
What I want the webpage to have
- Links to HMMs, PSREFs, Parts book
- MTM look up maybe like EveryMac?
- FRU list
- Mobo specs of CPU/GPU combo
- Battery types
- Default LCDs
- LCD pin out & compatibility chart
- CPU types & maybe score embedded via CPUbenchmark and others
- That HMM image of the laptop exploded w/ all the parts
- mayyyyybe make it a bit interactive (dreamweaver RIP)
