I didn't have a choice, this is what all of my coworkers have as well. Some of them found it so hard to work with that they used their own money to buy a Macbook then gave it to the company so they could use it for their job. My last job, I had a Thinkpad T520, which was just as thick but a bit lighter and smaller footprint. At home I have a T420, again same thickness but slightly smaller footprint yet. I'm no stranger to Thinkpads. I hope I don't ever have to use another. Even IBM is disillusioned by the Thinkpads. They created the damn thing and they're abandoning it for Macbooks: http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/5/9099451/ibm-apple-enterprise-macbooks http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/5/9099451/ibm-apple-enterpris...

I'd still disagree on many of the hardware aspects if we're talking about some of their latest X series or slim T series laptops, but you have a point. I only continued to buy Thinkpads because I knew how to remove all of the Lenovo crapware the moment I got the computer. Especially with the latest privacy issues, Thinkpads are no longer the computers you buy when you just want a solid computer without frills. The W series and the T520's though... they were always too big to be real laptops and too wimpy to match desktops. It's an awkward place to be.

  > I knew how to remove all of the Lenovo crapware the moment I got the computer Except for the crapware they've embedded in the firmware. That isn't as easy to get rid of.
