MacBook vs ThinkPad

Matebook x pro, try to get the 2018 one due to its higher performance (weirdly) than the 2019 one.Also linux works great on it, and build quality is a smigen under apple but very very close.Oh and the keyboard works :)

Dont get a macbook, apple is increasingly locking the OS down and bringing it closer to iOS. For a comparable laptop get a thinkpad X1 extreme, lenovo x1, dell xps 13 or dell precision 5530.

The ThinkPad lineup for some balling entries that match the raw power of a Macbook easily. For less money too.That said, the Macbook screen is brilliant and others don't always compare.the real thing that puts me off leaving the Apple world: MacOS. I've tried to go back to WIndows and the experience was dreadful for software engineering.

With all the bad reviews about Apple, I didn't want to replace my old 17" MacBook Pro with a new Macbook (also, they don't do 17" anymore), so I just ordered a Thinkpad X1 Extreme instead.Thinkpad has had a stellar reputation for sturdy quality since forever, and the X1 Extreme seems like a fairly good compromise between power, size, and other concerns. It's not 17" because the only 17" Thinkpads are the monstrous P73s.According to reviews, it's quie

I‘ve switched to a T480s Thinkpad. Best keyboard I ever had, OK touchpad, good matte HiDPI screen, USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet, 1TB SSD, 24GB Ram, much nicer case than Macbooks even, price 2300 USD. Only downside: Hinge doesn‘t open with one hand and ... it has no MacOS. Takes a while to be as productive on Win or Linux but the hardware is absolutely worth it when compared to the mess that is the new MBPs.

I disagree. I got rid of a 2013 MBP and a 2019 MBA and went back to a thinkpad T470 running Windows 10. 300% less of a pain in the ass. Keyboard works reliably and isn’t horrible, doesn’t get ridiculously hot, actually has enough USB holes, can actually drive it from the keyboard without tying my fingers in knots, battery lasts longer, less fighting against the OS, less bugs (that one hurt to write) and it doesn’t give me a rash that bleeds on my wrists. CPU, memory, storage is about the same as

I just came back to a MacBook Pro 2018 after several years of experimenting with Windows machines. Based on this thread I am outlier – I enjoy using the trackpad, touch strip, and the keyboard seems fine.In the past five years I have used the following; Thinkpad x230, Thinkpad X1 carbon, Thinkpad x370 yoga, Thinkpad X1 Yoga, Surface Pro 3,4,5, Surface Laptop, Surface Book 1,2, and a hackintosh Thinkpad X230. I was a big fan of the ThinkPads because their keyboards tend to have solid travel an

Thinkpads are very good, I almost got myself one after around 5 years of working on macbooks, but in the end I got myself zephyrus g14 (2022 model). Surprisingly good battery life, good display (anti glare as well) and keyboard, amazing touchpad (very similar to macbook's one) and I actually like how win11 works on laptops after spending one day on tweaking settings and looks. Fantastic machine that performs as well as, or even better than, maxed out 14" mbp

My ThinkPad X1 is as good as any generation of MacBook, it is certainly more serviceable and has a better keyboard. You might prefer MacOS to Linux or Windows, but I can assure you that there are very decent hardware alternatives.

For me, mbpr 13 is a really good balance between usability and portability. I was Thinkpad + linux for years, but I find the mbp hardware feels a bit sturdier, compared to other options in the same price range. The main contender for me was the Thinkpad Carbon, but I liked the feel of the mbp keyboard and trackpad a bit better (The latest TP has weird rounded keys).
