>Tell me why I shouldn't buy this over the macbook pro.

I'm gonna be honest with you, if you care about build quality then you shouldn't be buying Lenovo computers - of any brand, including thinkpad.

Play the Lenovo lottery if you want, but know that some small part of your laptop is always not gonna be what you expected.

My display has bleed in issues and one dead pixel, and when it was being fixed there is a small nick on the body which I can't stop noticing.

Overall is the laptop nice, sure, but be ready to send it back when you get it and something is inevitably wrong.

With apple this isn't a problem. You know exactly - EXACTLY - what you are buying. You get a Macbook pro, you get a new computer with no problems. (like 99% of the time). With Lenovo, you can't do that.

Dell's XPS 13 is a closer imitation of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon than the Apple MacBook Pro, why not recommend that instead.
>>
>>62087748
Presumably you are trying to advocate for an evil brand that hinders a customer's productivity rather than hurts it. You should be shilling for Dell instead of Apple, because all that gay shit really drives people away. Dell has ripped off IBM/Lenovo's products much better than Apple and seems much more normal.

This is true, but nothing appeals more to my semen stained heart than the glistening white color of Apple's MacBook Pro. There can be no substitutes in this regard and I can never stop shoving it down other people's throats for this reason.
>>
>>62088161
But can Apple convince customers who normally buy ThinkPads that their MacBook literally IS a ThinkPad? The Lattitude can for instance, as it even has the same pointing stick, black color, smart card reader, similar shaped fingeprint reader and etc.

>>62088159
You cannot say this, they can make the same argument of Dell laptops.

Don't buy neither. Both are shit.

Don't trust Mobile Tech Review, it is biased.

I would recommend the T470p if you want something more substantial in terms of performance. Or the 13 if you want something cheaper that works well.
>>
>>62088302
An Apple laptop will let you trick people, into thinking you are something good in hopes of baiting them, a Dell laptop will let you assert you are something good so you can try to take it from them.

I know which one I would rather have!
>>
>>62087460
Newer generation Lenovo laptops are not a good purchase.

The whole benefit of older ThinkPad is that massive organisations buy them and then dump them for very cheap after a few years, making them fantastic computers for the price. Exact same thing with servers.

Don't be insecure, if you think your favorite brand can compete with Lenovo it should be able to do so current generation vs current generation.

You do realize that think pants are made from carbon fiber composite and has a magnesium frame right? Apple in the most and just use aluminum for the casing and you know aluminum is soft?

So why you making apple has a better build quality even though they use soft and brittle material to build everything they sell.

Not OP but it does depend on a number of factors.
On a physical hardware note, the air flow with apple means your machine will throttle if you try anything to stress it. They didn't design it well enough for air flow.
Lenovo have good air flow, the best screen hinges, and repairable motherboards. You can also upgrade HDD/Other since Lenovo allows thinkpads to be opened without voiding warranty
>>
>>62087460
> Actually considering buying a chinkbook.
Shame on you.
>>
>>62088702
The fuck do you think apple is you fucking retard

At least Lenovo doesn't solder every fucking thing to the board. Oh you want to add a 1tb HDD? Too fucking bad there's no room or option.
Owning a laptop with a 2k screen is useless if you remove the users ability to have basic storage as the user needs it. They charge an insane amount for SSD storage upgrades which require a different model product just to have.

Not everyday will a Lenovo over heat :)

Tbh the new lenovo thinkpad keys arent that bad, they're at least better than any other keyboards on current year laptops
Reason being they curve in
No other chiclets do that
They also have the same travel depth as before they went to chiclet and on some models even more travel depth

How the fuck are some of you comparing Macs to Windows machines as if the switch between them is simple and easy?

Mac may get you laid, but it will be with another man, and won't be even a nice man, but a man that does annoying voices and most likely have aids.
Thinkpads at least will get you more modest closeted man that maybe won't even have the aids.

this whoile "new thinkpads are shit" meme is bullshit. I dumped my X220 for T470s and the build quality so much fucking better.

lenovos are sick as shit to work on. i support about 28 of them and every one of them is a dream. need to upgrade the ram? better get out the spudgers, you're taking off a bezel..... NOT! just fucking unscrew 3 screws and it just comes off, the rams right there, keep it simple stupid. some guy tore his keycap off? put that bitch back in place and get on to real work, keep it simple, stupid. need to replace the keyboard?... YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO SHUT IT DOWN.... keep, it, fucking, simple, stupid

lenovo, the "i dont have time to fuck around with stupid computer problems, ive got bigger fish to fry" computer
>>
>>62087543
Older thinkpads are fine
But newer ones really dropped the ball, and their cheaper shit (ideapad or something) even makes cheap HPs look like tanks

Same thing on my $1500 thinkpad. They didn't even fix it under warranty, they said it'll be $500 for display replacement.

This being said, I'll never ever buy a new thinkpad again. Their warranty is shittiest I've ever witnessed.

Bait

Even the used shit t440s that everyone says is crap is still holding out. Thanks to the easily removable dual batteries, I can replace that shit every couple of years for maximum battery performance. I'd like to see an early MacBook 2013 retina with still decent batteries and upgradable ram.
