I started using MacBooks when they switched to Intel around 2008. Maybe this is a sign to move on. Currently using a mid 2014 model, I like the slim form factor, but I don't like the absence of an ethernet port. I don't care much for the retina display, my 2008 matte model was better. Been looking at the Lenovo T470. I need something that would be easy to replace quickly anywhere in the world. What should I get?
- shmerl 6y agoLenovo Thinkpad laptops are pretty good, and in my experience run Linux very well. Get something with AMD APU (there should be new models coming out soon with Zen 2 + Vega). The only annoyance is their refusal to refund Windows tax. But now Lenovo partnered with RedHat/IBM and started selling some laptops with Linux pre-installed (Fedora), so you can avoid Windows tax there, even if you don't plan to use Fedora. I hope that will eventually extend to all their models.
