What's better is their reasoning for it.

Apparently they didn't want to add 32gb due to battery life.

...So then make the battery larger?

Well, we can't do that without making the laptop larger.

....So then make the laptop larger

The whole point of his being 12 here is that not everyone is 12 years old over here. Telling him to go away is sort of like telling a Tumblrina to stop get out of her echo chamber.

I got a refurbished 2015 Macbook Air a few months ago as my first Mac product and I really like it.

Battery life is insane and the build is so solid its just quality all around.

It seems like on the new Macbook Pros they made the keys microscoptic, it feels like shit. I think the keys on my Air are as small as they can comfortably be.

And for the record the touchbar is amazing for JS dev in atom when it's configured to your liking, I only use it for that and a few automated script shortcuts, like making coffee or sending a work message.

You should keep in mind that the ThinkPad warranty is god-tier.
You can get unlimited repairs for your laptop, next business day, on-site. Battery is separate but who cares.

You can directly file a warranty claim through one of IBM's websites and not have to deal with people at all until either the parts or a contractor arrive at your doorstep.

The appeal of Apple products is that you can connect them to your other apple devices such as your iPhones and iPads.
Can your thinkpad connect to your phone and allow you to browse your messages?
Can you send messages on your laptop and send them as if you were on your phone?
It's all one device whereas other laptops and phones are all separate.

Yep, easier than on a Mac.

The only thing I can think of that's more expensive than OP's macbook is a clevo with 2 1080s inside it.
