two issues with thinkpads
1. they’re crazy thick. i travel a lot, and i need good cpu and ram and very light, very thin laptops. something like the huawei, or any of the macbook pros.
2. macos. because linux is still a drag.
- foxyv 8y agoI love linux! It keeps me on my toes. I get to reinstall my OS every few months. (NVidia Drivers die after update to kernel. nvidia-current doesn't work with graphics card.)
- bdamm 8y agoExactly. MacOS is unix, has as great CLI, and full support from all major vendors so I don't waste my time doing something bonkers like fighting to get Word to work. And yes, I need Word to work.
- bluedino 8y agoBattery life stinks on the older ones if you don’t have the extended battery that sticks out of the bottom of the machine
- kitsunesoba 8y agoThe two things keeping me with Apple for computing are consistency (surprisingly a problem with many PC vendors) and yes, macOS. Linux might be ok if its nvidia drivers weren’t so flaky, its Broadcom wireless drivers didn’t break with random system updates, and its app ecosystem put a bigger emphasis on high quality UX and made up its mind about UI conventions, but I don’t see any of that improving any time soon…
- thinkingemote 8y agoProprietary hardware and software is fine! Don't feel guilty about not using Linux. It's simply not for you. Be happy with your choice with Apple. You can still support and use FOSS software on those computers if you like.
