I just bought a ThinkPad T420, which I have read has pretty great macOS support. Should I install macOS on it or Arch Linux? I've never actually used macOS, so I wanna give it a shot without paying out the ass, should I go for it? (By the way, I already bought the wireless card for it so I'm good to go)

Sounds like you already made up your mind. Why ask?

Having some last minute thoughts about it, so thought I should ask if it's worth it.

Dual booting with a 320 gb hard drive seems pretty stupid

get a second hard drive and put it in the optical bay, it's not like you're gonna use your dvdrw

I'm thinking of buying a T420 too. Is it just a meme because "420" or some dumb crap? I don't really want to waste any money

win7 of course

it is a meme. perfectly suitable laptop though. if you want a sturdy general purpose laptop and don't need top specs I would steer you towards refurbished Dell Latitudes, they tend to be like 80 dollars less than the thinkpads with equal specs and are just as good if not better.

>Arch Linux

based teenager babby

t420 bros. i put arch on mine and riced it and it's cozy as fuck. now all i need is a programming project...

Arch.

>are just as good if not better.
lmao

macOS for extra comfy experience

Give it a shot for a couple hours. If it's fully functional and stable on macOS, then hell yeah, keep it.

MacOS is pretty fucking comfy
The software support is nice & it looks great.
If you can use Xcode flawlessly, then you're set for a good developing environment.

arch linux if you want to be able to easily install any application with a single command and have an overall great dev machine

macOS if you want to choke on a black dick sometime in the near future

generic laptop, ancient specs and screen

overrated for some reason by neckbeard

the T420 is a meme because of the 420. thinkpads aren't a meme though.

Should've bought an elite book, cheaper, much easier to upgrade and it would have had a 3rd gen i5

and it would overheat to fuck, the hinges would break after opening it twice and the screen would be even shittier (which is actually a godlike feat thinking about how shit the t420 screen is)
fall for the right memes kids

fuck i have the thinkpad in that picture
its so fucking bad, i shouldve just gotten a xps 13 instead
