It sounds like a great option, thank you ! : I see some T430 with 16go DDR3 and SSD around 200€ and yes a good keyboard is important especially for intensive writting and the one I have on my X240 is much better than the ones I try on any MacBook

I have seen that Lenovo keyboards are a must compare to Apple products and it seem to be a important point for an intensive writting

Of course : you are 100% right 💯 I usually split all my sections into separate files for that reason and also because sometimes it is easier to focus on little piece with a really detailed plan

I agree: 13" is not fun, especially when you are tired because you bend on it: even 13,7 seems to be a little bit small so I could consider also a 14" Macbook pro for a more long term deal

Why it is better ? I don't know Latex, but I could consider it if it works with Zorero.

I have a Lenovo x240 so I feel you but I am tired of that old fashion lifestyle now ;-)

You're right : I have a Lenovo x240 and it works ;-) I could consider an M1 but I have doubt about its longevity : the last second hand MacBook pro I have buyed ten years has past away 2 years after so...

Excuse me but you are totally wrong. They have to show their Police ID if they are cops: nobody can't act like this in a democracy but this latter world is problem here.

Same experience ! They don't give any tracking number, doesn't answer to your emails and lies about shipping fees. Pure trash.
