- TimTheTinker 7y agoI didn't mean Apple's are always top-of-the-line. Only that specs are usually close to the top of customers' criteria.
- rayiner 7y agoThe Air is an exception—it was in this limbo where it looked like it didn’t have a place in the product lineup between the MacBook and MacBooks Pro. A couple of exceptions is hardly “usually.” The other lines are updated regularly with whatever is the latest in October.
- ehrtt 7y ago12" MacBook hasn't been updated in 2 years.
- jlarocco 7y agoThe hardware specs are "meh" at best, but the build quality is still better than the competitor.. I have a newer Thinkpad for work, and it feels cheap and plastic compared to my MBP. The Lenovo creaks when I pick it up with one hand, and just feels flimsy. The MBP feels solid and integrated. I'd love a 2013 MBP with modern components.
- rayiner 7y agoMy X1 Carbon, which cost as much as a 13” MBP, has a plastic sticker for a bezel. It’s now peeling off.
- amiga-workbench 7y agoGood lord, I knew the newer Lenovo models were underwhelming but that's their flagship premium model. That's utterly unacceptable.
- namibj 7y agoIt's their thin-is-better lighter-is-more-important model. In the traditional 14-16" size, the T4xx/T5xx devices do what they are supposed to. A changable battery (while running, without tools) enables you to do things like swapping an empty battery for a full one, either by plugging in shortly, using a secondary battery in the case, or briefly shutting down. I don't want to carry that much energy with me all the time, but I still want the option to use the device without having significant downtime. A short break is fine, but that's 5-10 minutes, not 30+ for charging the battery.
- amiga-workbench 7y agoI believe the hot-swappable batteries are a goner on the latest T series machines.
- viraptor 7y agoThinkpad doesn't say much. What series? Thinkpads range from supermarket offer bin to mobile workstations like P1.
- jlarocco 7y agoIt's a P52s. The fact that it matters is part of the problem. All of the Apple laptops feel solid and well put together.
- viraptor 7y agoThey have a price point where they can be made solid and well put together. Lenovo also sells cheap laptops of lower quality. Not sure why that's a problem. Or do you think people shouldn't be given cheaper options?
- hombre_fatal 7y agoThere are way too many options across too many series. I don't know how people even choose, much less a layman. > Or do you think people shouldn't be given cheaper options? This is a cheap rhetorical tactic.
- viraptor 7y agoSure, there's lots of models to choose from and potential for analysis paralysis. That's not what I understand the OP was complaining about though.
