I think they look great, just not in a way that appeals to consumers, which is a feature because it reduces theft.

I like their look. It's not some artisan "Rose Gold" Macbook but I like the utilitarian design, on the older ones at least.

Remember this shit?

They never followed up. It's been more than a year. Sure, new products don't happen in a day but there should be some sort of report. Fuck Lenovo for pulling a shitty PR stunt.

>>59429480
Someone didn't flush. Also a comment:
>The resale value on thinkpads is 0 though.
You have actually gotta be kidding.

Yeah, but I've already got a Xeon/Quadro workstation to do CAD on. I want something good, like a T420/X220/T60 that has the good features of a ThinkPad but with newer specs.

And if AMD makes PSP FOSS, then probably an AMD chipset in them.

They're not. They're the only Windows machine worth buying.

If you want AMD you'll probably have to get some elitebook.

IBM-designed thinkpads had their aesthetics formed with function, top german, japanese and american industrial designers worked on them refining every detail. If someone says:
"le thinkpads are ugly lelele but muh t420 i like it because it's ugly and not a macbook kay i am poor to afford a macbook blah" - stab him in face.

First thing, post 2009 Thinkpads are designed by chinks with no sence of aesthetics or artistic taste. Soulless gooks just copy old IBM designs trying to fit in a budget declared by marketings department.
Second. Did you ever see old Apple computers? I'm not speaking about 80's Apple designs, they were made by Frog Design studio, I am talking about Johnny "20th anniversary Mac" Ive. Have you seen all that shite he spewed around 90's and early 2000's? Ugly plastic gray bricks, soapboxes, """"clamshell""""" notebooks, hockey mouse, pocket device with right angles and non-working antennas, what else, ah, Braun Radio, oh excuse me, Apple Space Heater G5.
Apple is not a company to look for good designs. in fact, today barely any mass produced product can represent artistic tastes of it's designer, we are living at an age of planned obsolescence and manufacturing cost cuts.

Macfags actually paid an arm and a leg for this shitty pos with a garbage cpu

They were designed by someone who actually wants to use the machine
>>
>>59429160
They aren't ugly; they are manly.
It would be gay to use a pink pretty flat & shaved laptop.
>>
>>59429160
I fucking hate ThinkPads because of /g/.

When I see a ThinkPad I think of soulless business offices full of miserable people. I do not want to think of that at home.

I really liked the 1997 Apple designs and thought they went full retard in 1998

But the world disagreed, people loved that transparent pastel shit and I have no idea why
>>
>>59434331
Because 90s were ending, so they needed fresh new design for the new millenium.
>>
>>59433784
Do people not like the 20th anniversary Mac design? I thought it was pretty cool. That warm grey color is really underrated and should be used more in tech.
>>
>>59434542
I'm with you liking it. Unfortunately it was despised.

>it literally has the same "build quality" and accessibility of internals as entry-level Lenovo notebook for 3rd world countries 10 years ago.
Except that Lenovo G3000 has a screen latch.

This shows nothing. Why is there no control? I bet Rossman has lots of broken Macbooks lying around and could've used them to prove his point.

Besides, are the US or NYC really so fucking degenerate that you can't leave your stuff unattended for 3 minutes in broad daylight? I mean what do you do? Do you take your Laptop to the toilet?

This is a country with 42 million niggers in it. That's slightly more than Sudan and just a bit less than Kenya.
