ThinkPad hardware and Apple hardware are very different, from a design perspective and also repairability. Similar specs maybe.

- walrus01 8y agoThe first generation Macbook Pro that used an Intel CPU (2006) and the later ones (2009 15 and 17 inch) were the same idea as this Thinkpad, in terms of industry standard ports and I/O. They put as many I/O ports in it as they could fit. Wired gigabit ethernet, firewire 400/800 which was state of the art at the time, dual audio jacks, three USB ports, etc. The 2006 model even had a full size DVI port which could drive a 2560x1600 display. If Apple had continued the same design philosophy from the 2006 Macbook Pro and put it in the 2018 Macbook Pro, it would have as many ports as this Thinkpad and probably even more.
