Is this a joke? I have a Lenovo-produced T60 in its tenth year in daily use. I also still have its predecessor, a T43 labeled IBM (but manufactured by Lenovo)

Is this a joke? I have a Lenovo-produced T60 in its tenth year in daily use. I also still have its predecessor, a T43 labeled IBM (but manufactured by Lenovo) in regular use, but by my sister. Lenovo has a lot of problems, but they're every bit as capable of making a durable product as Apple.
- HSO 11y agoWasn't there a change of ownership a few years ago? If so, I'd also tend to a wait-and-see attitude until it's clear what changed and what didn't.

- ddingus 11y agoT60 was also my first Hackintosh. Mine is still in service too, though just doing some light duty.
- rbanffy 11y agoMy 2006 Macbook still looks presentable, if a little bit vintage-ish. It runs well. My experience with Lenovo laptops is that, with the exception of the ThinkPad line, they don't strike me as very durable machines, which is fine considering they are cheap. I am not very confident the current ThinkPads will be alive 10 years from now. I have no such feelings about my current Macs - quite the contrary: I got them overspecced because I suspect they'll be around for a long time and while 16 GB of RAM seems excessive for Python/Django work now, I am not sure what kind of demand will be placed on them by then.
