Ok, just my perspective, that you dont need to share. I am typing on lenovo P51, not really a new thing, but I have two TB SSDs, 2 slots for normal ram (32gb currently), i7, no overheating, great keyboard, battery and simple possibility to just dismantle the lower part (or if needed the whole laptop) and blow all the dust out or vacuum clean it. Running linux where all the hardware (except the fingerprint reader which I would not use anyway) is supported.
Once something dies I can replace it at any time on my own and the prices for replacement parts are actually going down, not up. It is "a tad" heavier but on the other side, I would carry the backpack with me regardless of weight (and now I can skip a fitness session :D).
Why on earth are you even buying apple laptops? Ok, I do understand it for nontechnical people but we are on HN. I just dont understand a reasoning why you dont get yourself a proper laptop instead and all the convenience that comes with that. "Its beautiful" reason?
I would imagine you actually do work on your laptop and the look is not your primary criteria when buying a work rig (although I have always loved Thinkpad boxy designs).
- temptemptemp111 6y agoBecause most people prefer slavery. This is why the rulers treat them like cud-chewing cattle; because they act like it. Call them 'goyem' or whatever, but no need to label them when they can't stop labeling themselves. They just love the half bitten Apple logo from the tree of knowledge on their products... The BSDM-esque masks on their faces (which they virtue signal about strapping on their children for a day at a time to "go learn" at government "institutions")... Virtue signaling about how their women have to go work for another man all day in a cubicle to make grapple grommets or whatever (and now have the freedom to potentially go get killed trying to murder rice-patty farmers in a foreign land, just like their sons). Just compare the death toll from the seasonal flu to how many have killed their unborn babies sometime... So, in my estimation, the tree of knowledge did not bear the real fruit of knowing.
- Toutouxc 6y agoMy perspective that you don't need to agree with, is that the P51 is a hideous monster that weighs exactly twice as much as my MacBook, the asymmetric keyboard + touchpad would drive me crazy, it doesn't run macOS and has worse battery life. Also my fingerprint reader works, just like every other part of the machine, along with all the software I use. There's no "except".
- culopatin 6y agoWhat a pointless discussion you’re bringing up. Your question is not debatable because in the end it’s all a matter of personal preference.
