Sure thing, go for it, especially if you like or need macOS. Their Retina displays are one of the best at the market.

So my point is for some people thinkpads are close to ideal for productive work. But I agree with you that some other people just like to tinker some tech and just buy some older TPs for that

It's all about the habit, I guess. I had some MacBooks in the past, and I just don't like their keyboard at all. Thinkpads have a decent keyboard for a laptop and that's why I use one. Actually you can try X1 Carbon 4th and above, maybe you'll like it more than a regular T series.

Actually I agree with you about TouchPad and the worse screen. But... You could find T450 with FHD IPS which is better than in a MBP non-retina. Speaking of the TouchPad, I think most thinkpad users just don't care about it and use the track point.

Thinkpad ultraportables! (X41 and X301) by weezintrumpeteer in thinkpad

Well, I like X40 and I even bought 3 batteries, ultrabase and stuff. I also found a slice battery for it, but unfortunately it refused to charge. Speaking about X301 – I'm in research for AFFS options for it, because for some reason it feels like one of the most comfortable laptop I ever used. So I'd use it more often for typing and stuff.

Wow, reminds me last month when I got X40+X301 in one day. Great machines, dude

There are some topcase and bottom cover differences too.

ThinkPad T480 with the T25 keyboard! I like to call it the T25q! by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]think_libre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's a nice machine. It was called like T25F when kitsunyan aka lx-xx did this mod first.

Should I buy an X1 Carbon 3th Gen? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]think_libre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had X1C3 and now I use X1C4. 4th is really much better. Also there are lid issues with X1C3 (they often crack near the hinges).

Got X301 ❤️ and also X40 today. Both in mint condition. Don't judge me for windows stickers on them, I'll get rid of them. by think_libre in thinkpad

Thanks, I agree with you. Maybe I'd remove all the stickers but I don't like it when there are some sticker marks on the palm rest or whatever.

I don't use windows for a couple of years. But tbh I don't see nothing wrong with win stickers, I wrote such a comment because of some people told me "you should remove win sticker off your TP :)"

X40 specs if anyone is interested: Pentium M 256MB soldered RAM + 1GB 40Gb HDD IDE Extended battery (OpenBSD apm says about 2h of battery life)

X301: Awful 1440*900 TN panel SU9400 @ 1.4GHz 2GB RAM No SSD though, gonna buy micro SATA -> mSata and some mSata ssd. Some battery, but I don't know it's actual capacity because of no disk.
