I've been considering moving from a mbp to an x1 for a while now, but a couple things are keeping me from it:
- mbp isn't dead (yet)
- x1 is made in china, human rights issues
- x1 is less repairable than other thinkpad models such as t14 or p14 (which are still made in china, however)
- now there is linux support for mbp for dual booting
- sva_ 4y ago> x1 is made in china, human rights issues I was under the impression that most MBP are made in China?
- elgar1212 4y ago> I was under the impression that most MBP are made in China? afaik they all are, but this was a purchase from several years ago

- nequo 4y agoIsn’t the MacBook Pro also manufactured in China?
- elgar1212 4y agoYes, but I got it several years ago and wasn't as concerned about China at the time Future gens of mbp might not be made in China (but afaik they still are)
- akvadrako 4y agoYou might be okay with laptops from Taiwan instead of mainland China, for example ASUS. They have nicer laptops than Lenovo too.
- sofixa 4y agoAnd they have machines in different ranges to choose from, including light beasts such as the ROG Zephyrus G14 which manages to pack a lot of power including a dedicated GPU in roughly the same weight as an M series MacBook Pro.
- elgar1212 4y agoAre all models made in Taiwan though? Where do you find the data to confirm where they source their parts from?
