What are they competing in?
Circle jerking
ThinkPad: has a thinklight
ipad: doesn’t have a thinklightthinkpad wins
That depends. Does the keyboard on the thinkpad work?
it does
Laptops had so much class back then.
And speaker. Vimers can’t use a machine without a speaker.
Huh?
I’ve used Vim for a decade and I would be offended if it made any noise.
An old vim-related anecdote:
Vim has 2 modes: first to spoil the text and second to beep.
Me, using a cheap old laptop that does exactly what I need instead of rebuying overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out.
Who actually rebuys overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out? Clout chasers maybe, but not normal Apple users.
Up until very recently, only Apple had over 5 years of software support on their phones. With others you’d be lucky to get 3 on flagships and yet Apple had 6-7 years on some models. You could use your phone for 3 years, pass it on to a family member and they’d get to use it for another few years, while still getting updates. I’d argue that if you had a Samsung, you would’ve needed to update more often.
On the computer side they unfortunately do force regular users to upgrade after 6-7 years, which for that market is significantly less than anything running Linux. Of course if you know how to google it, you can get new OS updates for more like 10 if not 15 years. Still scummy. But nobody replaces them annually. Companies replace laptops at 3-4 years usually.
Depends on what kind of generation of MacBook that is. Intel-series? I’m leaning ThinkPad. M-series? It’s gonna have to be the MacBook.
that’s an iPad
EDIT: it’s M4
A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.
