No, I have both, the problem on the Thinkpad is the OS. Simply nothing will come close to the productivity of macOS. I’ve tried Windows 10, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, multiple Linux distros (Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSuSE, KDE Neon, etc - I am not new to Linux) and even Haiku on the Thinkpad and I think its going on eBay next.
macOS has steadily been going down hill in innovation and its feature loss and constant addition of useless features (Sidecar? SwiftUI? Catalyst?). Apple’s obsession with control and Apple’s lack of focus are real problems too. However, other operating systems are so far behind in usability it is hard to even consider them instead.
The keyboard on the Thinkpad is far better though.
- new_realist 7y agoOwning both a Thinkpad P1 and the latest XPS 15, I agree. Productivity on a Mac is in a different league than Linux. OSS partisans, high schoolers, and bearded gnomes, feel free to downvote my experience.
- sosodev 7y agoI guess I just don't get it. On my Linux desktop at home I'm ludicrously more productive than with my MBP. It just seems like every little thing gets in the way. Docker is significantly slower, package distribution is terrible (in speed, availability, and consistency), and finder has to be one of the worst ways to browse a filesystem. I could go on but it doesn't even matter because I can't be productive with that awful keyboard anyway.
