Until you need to replace literally anything in them. When their design suddenly looks massively hopeless compared to a thinkpad.

Until you need to replace literally anything in them. When their design suddenly looks massively hopeless compared to a thinkpad.
- et-al 10y agoI feel like ThinkPads are severely underrated even for their time. Their user-serviceability may not help sell units, but for anyone who's actually owned, used, and needed to repair one, the design was genius.
- nunez 10y agoThey aren't designed to need that kind of servicing. They're designed to last long enough to justify a replacement, and the 2008 and 2009 MacBooks we have under our bookcase continue to prove this.
- trstowell 10y agoUntil, like they said, any one part needs fixing, then you're SOL with a bill that runs 33-50% of the price of a brand new one.
