Thinkpads are great for the price though, and are so ugly that they have a unique "anti-Mac" aesthetic to them.

Apple products have the same intel processor backdoor anon

You should've just gotten a MacBook Pro and kept macOS on it.

I'm happy with this, thanks

>>61619073
I beg to differ, macOS is actually quite good, and I also use Linux and Windows.

I mean...the processor kinda sucks.

You can SSH into your main PC for "serious" computing

>>61619155
In that case, one may as well buy a cheapo chinese android tablet and bluetooth keyboard, and always use SSH or VNC

I can do the same thing with a Chromebook tho

>Buy mac
nope. but if I had one I'd keep macos.

Actually if any anons can help me out that would be great. Was just gonna make a Linux on Macs thread.

The med school ill be attending uses examsoft, and from what I've seen its not very stable on windows.
That being said I cant really handle the stress of my fucking exam crashing and taking my grades down with it, and I need the long battery life
However, I dont really like macos, it's pretty counterintuitive to me and I really hated using the iMacs in my undergrad.

So my plan is to leave a small macos partition just for examsoft, and have arch installed with my regular i3 workflow.
But which Mac would be the best for this? The air seems (like op says) to run Linux pretty much ootb, and if the current Apple line up it has the best keyboard. The screen didn't suck to me when I tried it out irl but then again my main machine is an x200.
Is buying an old macbook pro risky? It looks like a 2015 one is the same price as a new fully specced air, but I'm afraid of the battery not having full capacity. Also not sure of the Linux compatibility.

Any Applefags willing to help?

I don't trust thin technology

>>61619447
Which Mac?
If you have proper battery saving working on Linux (tlp and powertop) the air will get like 11 hours. More if you're using xfce or mate other other light de

>>61618777
I have Thinkpads and a MacBook Air. The Air's keyboard is trash and the case is not ergonomic (edges too sharp) but I had a Thunderbolt Display which is really nice and wanted to use it. The air is shit though, really cheap feel, crappy keyboard, the screen is OK but it's glossy.

I have a Thinkpad X40 and it is a much nicer computer, I use that or a T60 with the IPS screen mostly. One more faggotry move from Tim Cook and I'm ditching Apple forever though. Bitch needs to learn how to put a non-chicklet keyboard into a machine, this is retarded.

Apple can't save you from a hardware backdoor from a third party that you retard. x86 is unsafe by design.

It will give you that kind of battery life with macOS on it because that's by design, but ain't no Linux distro ever going to give you 10+ hours of battery life on any stock notebook by anybody, period.

Thanks for the laugh, however.

>three times cheaper
I never understood this
what does it mean n times cheaper?
Ist 1 time cheaper = 0?
so 2 times should be - price, 3 times -2price and so on..
why not "for a third of the macbooks price"?

Why would you remove the best feature of a Mac (macOS)? It's asinine.

MacOS is the nr.1 reason to own a Mac.

It did what Linux never could: united ease of use, perfect GUI, with a UNIX system.

(OK, Linux is not real UNIX like macOS is, it's a yuropoor copy, but it's close enough.)

Put it in the trash were all macshit belongs.

I regret buying a windows laptop now. Mac seems so much better.
I wonder how much can I get for the laptop, I will put that towards buying a new Mac.

>>61627996
Honestly the only reason Microsoft still sells so much is

-you can get windows laptops cheaply
-more people therefore use it so it's "standard"

If you actually do a bit of research you realise Mac is so much better.

What a shit chart. First of all, the laptop you're pointing to was not in that test, and second of all, you're using the Surface Book time to compare to the Mac. The Surface Book costs $300 more than the 15 inch Mac there. Also pretty sure the laptop you are pointing to is going to perform much worse than the Surface Book or the Mac in that test.
