My first laptop was an IBM Thinkpad, Later I had some at work. But after they sold to Lenovo, and the Superfish and Lenovo Service Engine issues were discovered, I wrote them off. Thinkpads may be the best non-Apple laptops, but I simply don’t trust Lenovo and likely never will.
- resonious 10mo agoEvery once in awhile I will try a non-thinkpad laptop and I regret it every single time. There's always at least one thing that just doesn't work well. Trackpad being unpleasant, dropped keys when typing fast, can't wake up from sleep in a timely manner, or who knows what else. Thinkpads aren't quite like Macbooks but at least all of their components work... Actually the Microsoft Surface book/laptop line is really good in my opinion... It's just the Linux support is often (understandably) quite bad. Sometimes I psych myself into thinking I can stomach Windows for the "official, supported" laptop experience but it never lasts more than a few months before I cave and go back to Linux.
