Im just saying that I think tower pc is generally better, not that anyone leaves their basement to use the portability of a notebook anyway

Those are 2 questions

>Newfag here, why is /g/ obsessed with thinkpads?

It's just a good laptop. You have to use it to believe it and any amount of textual description will just sound like hype.

>Aren't notebooks in general a bad deal because of thermal throttling?

Some people actually need to carry their computer places. If you don't then good for you, get a tower.

People here like them and used business class laptops in general because business class stuff is built to be more easily repairable and their build quality is better to begin with, and you get get them used for pretty cheap. It's a poorfags wet dream desu. Personally, I prefer to buy new stuff and don't like thick laptops so I have a Chromebook.

Yes, in terms of raw performance, notebooks are always going to be worse than a similarly priced desktop. But modern laptops are fast enough that even $150 Chromebooks are usable.

Because branding.

Thinkpads are flimsy Chinese shit, they get mediocre marks and are overpriced, but /g/ flocks to the logo to this day because they can't comprehend the fact that brand names can be sold and mismanaged.

Of course laptops aren't as good as desktops but many need them for one reason or another, the obsession is over what many find to be the best laptops.

I went for this one.
One of the pro's I can remind is that its probably bulletproof. In case a war breaks out in my European unsafe country.
