What I find with potential macbook replacements is that while specs can be higher, or even much higher, which is quite easy to achieve, it is the build quality that starts to drag behind, and even if something is comparable in that respect – cooling is what can easily spoil the entire picture.
Like Dells, for example, whose fans never stop event when you're just browsing. At leas the ones I've seen. Does anybody know a performant laptop that can compete with macs in terms of quietness?

- fyfy18 8y agoBuild quality of Thinkpads is usually a lot better than Apple in terms of robustness, and if something breaks it is usually easy to replace just the part that’s broken (Lenovo offer on-site repair option for most machines). This is their testing standard for most Thinkpads: https://www.lenovo.com/hk/en/thisisthinkpad/innovation/thinkpad-mil-spec-tested-to-the-extreme/ https://www.lenovo.com/hk/en/thisisthinkpad/innovation/think...
