Soon to be former Apple (13” MBP A1278 16 GiB 2x2 TiB SSDs) owner here:
Lenovo X270
- 20-ish hour battery life
- Awesome water-resistant keyboard. Did I mention it’s one of the best laptop keyboards IMHO?
- Lightweight
- Portable size for train, plane, automobile use
- Choice of displays
- Kensington lock port, headphone jack, USBs and SD card slot
Do not buy an Apple any longer: unrepairable, $750 LB repairs, glued in batteries, soldered-in RAM and SSDs, unupgradeable and new terrible, feedbackless keyboards. Watch Louis Rossmann’s channel if you need any more convincing that Apple’s are often overpriced money-pits.
- wickchuck 9y agoI second this as a owner of a bricked 2013 MBA with a dead logic board. Bought a Lenovo T430S for $450 a few years back and couldn't be happier with it. Never buying Macbook again.
- theyregreat 9y agoThat Louis Rossman guy does component level repair and you might be able to squeeze some coin out of repairing and selling it. I’m considering just gifting an 2010 water-damaged MBP 13 as support for his great content. Lenovo’s are sturdy as heck too. That, standard upgradable parts and the industry best keyboard make them the most practical for both coding and corporate work. She may not be the prettiest date, but she has a great personality and is amazing at her vocation.
