Why do people like macs over thinkpads?

The current high-end thinkpad models aren't much better price/performance/feature wise than Apple's offerings.

They don't even come with their own custom OS either. They're justa bill of materials of plastic and components that somehow costs $1,200.

I don't know. I would never own a device which you cannot service, and who's manufacture takes anti-user measures to stop one from doing so, including lobbying against the right to repair hardware.
But isn't it hypocritical to complain about Apple when you're a "image.jpg" poster yourself?

So is the X1 Carbon gen 5 really not a competitor then against the macbook?

Get an older generation Thinkpad, even a couple years old, and they are. The only thing Apple has is panel quality and aspect ratio: Lenovo's 16:9 cancer displays are almost unbearable. But you get used to them for everything except media, and the rest of the laptop makes up for it.

You Thinkpad faggots always conveniently forget that brands like Dell have full hardware manuals for even the lowest-end of laptops available. Lenovo's current line-up is trumped by Dell in every single fucking way.

You mean the XPS?
>300 battery cycles
It's meant to be thrown away within a year like a phone - pure consumerist toy. Meanwhile, Sandy Bridge Thinkpads still function 6+ years later, and can be flashed with coreboot/libroboot to get rid of the ME.
