The
computer that will outlive its owner, and will be going strong after 5, 10 and even 15 years
The top-of-the-line high-end models are built to last and aren't made with planned obsolescence in mind.
They are extremely upgradeable, and parts are plentiful. In the very rare case something goes wrong, you can repair it at
home with dental floss and a brick.
A lot of them pack high-end specs, and very
old ThinkPads are much better alternatives than today's low-end consumer-grade laptops.
Ranging from the slim X1 Carbon ultrabook that weighs less than an M1
Mac to the Massive W701 DS that you can send someone to spectator mode with.
I have a
2012 ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen 1, with i7, 8Gb ram and 256 SSD, and it literally runs TensorFlow
deep neural networks.
Yooooo my ThinkPad just turned 10 years old today! Still going strong with just a thermal paste
change.
Your MacBook is just 4 years old and you need a new
one? You wasted your
money, should have got a ThinkPad.
