>nobody has tried to steal it yet

Why does /g/ not talk about this security feature of ThinkPads? Even though this laptop is much more powerful than my old MacBook, fully upgraded with 8 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD, I don't actually have to worry about someone trying to take it out of my bag or snatch it from my desk at the library.

Not only that, accidents have less repercussions. I have a 2016 Macbook now and, while the screen and the speakers are glorious, the constant having to worry about small bumps or dents is not great. I should just have gotten a newer thinkpad to replace my x220.

That's why they wanted my 2007 MacBook and not my 2010 ThinkPad? Because they don't want ancient laptops?

That's the most simple thing to explain.
Make something that attracts the masses.
The mass is just monkeys, consume shit breed and pay taxes.
Leaving unattended something that its target audience is the sophisticated and educated user will never appeal to the masses and thus never gets stolen.

I'm thinking about putting XIAOMI sticker on the Apple logo and the MacBook sign on the front panel. One thing I'm concerned with is that huge trackpad on the new models, it will probably expose the real manufacturer anyway. Or maybe just apply a duct tape everywhere. Will that work?

Niggers are so stupid trying to steal apple products. Don't they know that every apple devices has a remote tracking app built right into it?

They even come on here sometimes asking how to unlock them. It's hilarious. Apple should update the app to automatically call the police and alert nearby authorities to the thiefs location.

Based Rossman mentioned it, he left a T450 in a cafe and nobody touched it, while a old POS Macbook Pro from 2007 would have gotten stolen immediately.

To be fair, I wouldn't want to touch a post-xx20 series ThinkPad, either...

Yeah, you couldn't even libreboot it. Think of all the nasty proprietary firmware on it, along with god knows what Chinese backdoors that were added.

Maybe I was raised differently, but I've never understood why 20-something students are so naive and trustworthy of random strangers that they would leave their $1500 laptop and accessories out in the open and walk off to the restroom without at least unplugging it and taking it with them.

Have these people never been robbed before?
