I bought my rMBP in late 2014. At the time, I just needed a laptop, Windows or otherwise as I mainly use Linux. Other than the rMBP, every laptop that I could physically get my hands on was flimsy junk. The keyboards flexed, that plastic around the screen flexed, the screen was not steady in the open position. Even my workstation (Lenovo w530) for work is a hunk of flimsy plastic. It's just crazy.
Maybe things are different now? Or maybe I didn't get my hands on some better ones, but how can companies sell so much junk?
- willtim 10y agoIt's obviously all subjective. Personally, compared to Lenovo, I find MacBookPro keyboards to be "junk". I also don't want a glossy glass-covered screen, a glued-in battery or a heavy dent-prone radio-attenuating metal case. Each to his/her own.

- willtim 10y agoCan you explain "more effective"? The 2016 Thinkpad X1 Carbon is significantly lighter than any MBP and still allows a user to replace the battery using a screwdriver - they are consumables after all.
