I have both a ThinkPad and a MacBook Air. I used to really like the ThinkPad and its rugged, tough feel (behold the travel of those key presses!), but I much prefer the Mac now. For me the MacBook Air was the best investment I ever made. I would agree with Rob Pike, who, in https://usesthis.com/interviews/rob.pike/ https://usesthis.com/interviews/rob.pike/ wrote "That said, my two-year-old 11" MacBook Air is the only piece of computing hardware to make me happy since I can't remember when."

- itazula 10y agoI liked the ThinkPad because it felt solid. Now, that "solidness" feels a little clunky, a little less refined. MS Windows doesn't help. Speaking of OSes, macOS causes me less aggravation.
