Does it beat a decent modern thinkpad?
- random778 10y agoNot sure, but it doesn't beat a fully loaded Thinkpad from 4+ years ago. I hope Lenovo rolls out the retro design they are teasing.
- gravypod 10y agoI came here to comment about the Thinkpad. They are cheap, they are sturdy, and they are fast. The design is one that works with the user. Even though it doesn't look 'good', I love it and don't think I'll ever be able to change. This video embodies my opinions of how great the old thinkpad designs are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doEZMNXz1JY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doEZMNXz1JY
- arusahni 10y agoMy coworkers have the newest 13:DE. Meanwhile, I just bought a T460s for personal use. Honestly, they're pretty comparable. The Dell is an attractive package, and has a better display, but the ThinkPad wins the input battle (IMO) with it's keyboard (curved keycaps, better travel) and trackpoint. I also have more ports and RAM available (one stick is soldered, the other is user-replaceable). Another thing to take into account is that you can get the Dell w/Linux out of the box. In my case, I had to pay the Windows tax and then install Linux.
