that's a really weird choice especially when you want to doa comparison with a macbook.
> Windows
also suboptimal in my opinion. thinkpads are fantastic linux machines. i'm running Mint xfce on my 480 and really wouldn't know what could be better about the experience.
there are only three things i like better about macbooks: screen, switching workspace with 3 finger swipe, speakers
- rozenmd 4y agoIn the article I mention that I upgraded to a 1920x1080 screen, and Pop!_OS...
- 2-718-281-828 4y agowhy do you even mention it then?
- fmajid 4y agoNot the OP, but presumably to highlight the upgradeability of the ThinkPad.
- asah 4y ago+1 Screen resolution is the top reason I stick with Macs. Once you gone retina, there's no going back and modern cellphones only reinforce this. It could be my aging eyesight, but I don't remember the last time I saw a pixel. Gamer laptops have the resolution but the price & weight are silly. Would love to be wrong - macos just feels klunky for linux development (slow homebrew, annoying docker, constant reminders to connect to apple cloud, etc).
- 2-718-281-828 4y agoi used retina and now am back to 1920x1080 on my t480. no problem.
- diffeomorphism 4y agoIsn't retina just strictly worse? No oled, lower resolution, lower ppi, lower brightness, worse aspect ratio? They are decent screens, but by no measure the best.
