Would anyone care if Lenovo or Dell was selling outdated computers? Hell, they probably are. Do we have different expectations for Apple? Is it because they are more of a luxury brand? Why does Apple have an obligation to update their hardware every X years?
Also from what I have seen prices of MacBooks seem to have been going down quite a bit.
- yuhong 10y agoThey don't typically sell new computers this outdated.
- glogla 10y agoYes. New Thinkpads have CPUs two generations newer than lates rMBPs
- Xorlev 10y agoYou certainly can buy an outdated Thinkpad, but the lines are refreshed often. Literally from the first Google result: > At CES 2016, Lenovo announced a massive overhaul of its ThinkPad line. In addition to unveiling new ThinkPad X1 notebooks, tablets and convertibles, Lenovo also unveiled refreshes to its X, T and L series ThinkPad as well as a new ThinkPad 13. Except the ThinkPad 13, which comes with options for either Windows or Chrome operating systems, all the ThinkPad models unveiled come with Intel's sixth generation Skylake processor, giving them a boost in performance and battery life.
- CydeWeys 10y agoI just looked at some bargain basement Dell desktops and laptops (in the ~$400 range) because your comment made me curious. Both desktops and laptops come with Intel N3000-series processors, which were released last year. So no, Dell isn't selling anything that is nearly as outdated as what Apple is selling, for substantially more money.
