"MBP-equivalent Thinkpads are typically more expensive"
More expensive than what? MBP with 2.8Ghz, 16GB runs at least $3K.
With the exception of the screen, hardware-wise Thinkpads and Dell Precisions are far superior to MBPs. Max 16GB RAM and can't even stick an i7 extreme CPU in MBPs.
Whoops, 17" MBP, sorry, that's been discontinued -- as a Mac user you have NO choice; the hardware and software offerings are fixed in stone.
- bdcravens 13y agoI'd argue that the trackpad on MBP's and Airs is the best anywhere. Every other computer I've ever used resulted in funky stray swipes, sometimes even when I hit a key near the trackpad. (Haven't tried a Dell Precision's, and I haven't had a Trackpad since the IBM days) I believe the X1, which Avdi referenced, maxed at 8GB? (same as Air) The W series of course can have crazy hardware in it, but it's quite the anomaly in the industry.
- virtualwhys 13y agoYes, have heard good things about MBP trackpad. My Dell Precision lives on laptop stand, use mechanical KB and trackball mouse -- detest trackpads ;-) W530 is beast-able, but prefer Precision series, dual fans are big plus with quad core and Nvidia chips.
- vacri 13y agoI have a personal issue with the mac trackpad - clickable at the bottom and only the bottom? I understand it's their historical thing and not a genuine issue, but it always throws me as an odd thing to do.

- bdcravens 13y agoInterestingly enough, the Magic Trackpad (larger Bluetooth version) is clickable on the entire surface.
