I used to have a macbook, and a thinkpad, and found them of equal quality. I would watch out for the front bezel cracking problem (I got it). Fortunately apple will replace it out of warranty if you goad them enough, since it is an engineering flaw (so said a local mac repair guy)
- yardie 17y agoIf you are getting a thinkpad then you are getting into pricey computer territory. Most of the complaints I hear about Mac is the price first. I made the mistake of going from a company owned thinkpad to an equally spec'd Acer. It was half the price and a year of usage showed where they cut corners. Initially, the speakers blew, the battery wore down faster than expected (6 monthss). And random screws and chunks of plastic fell out the vents. Since acer is now the #1 laptop maker they got their by building them cheap, replace often.
