Excluding current m1 and m2 generations and going back 2-3 years back what did you get?
Laptops that keyboards was breaking and to replace it you had to remove the whole top of laptop for like couple of hundreds of dollars. Hard drive soldered with price for 1TB around $1k with even backup port removed in case of failor. Battery glued.
I used to have thinkpad x1 extreme gen 2 which price was $1.5k, 2x nmve slots, 2x removable ram up to 64gb ram. Battery removable with just a screws. Wifi module replaceable and could be upgraded. Display could be replaced and upgraded. Durable case from carbon fiber. Solid keyboard with even track point. And was still very lightweight - because carbon case.
- kitsunesoba 3y agoAs someone who owns both a MacBook and a ThinkPad, while the construction of ThinkPads (at least "real" ThinkPads, not in-brand-only models) is solid they often leave something desired in terms of case flex. I'm comfortable holding my 16" M1 Max MBP by its corner while it's open because it doesn't flex at all, while I'm more nervous doing that with my X1 Nano despite it being much more lightweight.
- pzo 3y agoIf you would talk about macbook air i could agree but in your case I also have 16" MBP and they are simply to heavy (2kg, almost as heavy as MBP 15" 2012 unibody) and risky (to drop and waste $3k) to hold it by corners
- kaba0 3y agoThe macs immediately before the M-series were shit. There are plenty of shitty thinkpads as well. Let’s take the current macs into account, which are unbeatable in performance/battery life and it is not even funny by how far they are ahead of the competition.
