Buy macbook air

>have God machine running Linux natively and over 10 hours of battery life
Why the fuck are you idiots still cucking yourself with shitty old thinkpads? Seriously

Because thinkpads can run libreboot and have no brobiedary dribers.

>thinkpads can run libreboot

why does this matter if both of them using $hintel management engine

>brobriedary dribers

There aren't many components in the macbook air that need super propietary drivers except maybe the trackpad

Too expensive

Apple is committed to privacy though.
Meanwhile chink lenovo is more than happy to sell you out for some NSA bux

I'm happy with my asus x550c from 3 years ago user

Macbook air:
>shit TN panel
>can't upgrade anything
>for faggots

It's lower than that my friend.

Because if I spill a glass of water on that thing it will cost me only $999999....99999... to fix the keyboard.

macbook air is portability without capability

you can't actually work on an air.

God machine?
There is a kind of trash good?

What are you working on? I can work fine on mine.

At least you have a pc, meu negro.

Full stack development.

No ports. Onlly 8gb ram, older generation processors, I don't like 13". Completely unserviceable, not durable for as portable as it's supposed to be. Fucking terrible keyboard.

I could go on. For light web dev, I could see it working. Just not comfortably.

linux has no mmo's, booring

Mine runs Apache + MySQL just fine, along with my browser and my text editor. And that's with 4GB ram.

A little surprised to hear that.

I've got an X1 with a 14" screen that's the size of your air with 7th gen i7, 1tb ssd, 16gb ram, a uhd screen, and more ports than I need. And it weighs half a pound less. And I can drop it or spill shit on it. Granted, I paid twice as much as you did.

I'm sure it works for you, but it could be comfier, faster, sturdier, and serviceable.

Based Tim Cook

i can run nginx, mariadb, a text editor, and a web browser comfortably on my vps, which has 512M ram

It's pretty comfy famalam. Just have to get used to switching windows instead of cramming everything into your screen space.

...

As a former MacBook Air owner and current 15" MacBook Pro owner, lmao @ the Air being a god machine.

Shit display, outdated as fuck processor. If they'd update it to have HiDPI IPS / IGZO panel with a newer Intel platform, it would still be a pretty good laptop.

>Linux
>10 hours of battery life
Yeah, right. *snort*

I like my thinkpad

>Linux on MacBook air
>God machine
>10 hours battery life
Stop lying on the internet. Also:
>those bezels
>2007 screen

>tfw mactoddlers will never experience an X1 Carbon or a DELL XPS 13/15

Which distro you run on your X1?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm X1 Carbon

I can't wait to pick one up in five years for $200

If it's the best in its class doesn't mean the entire class is garbage. Don't be a faggot and carry a full-size laptop.

I'm pretty sure Libreboot = no IME

Because ThinkPads don't bend in half, they have better keyboards, and you can actually upgrade them. Take your soldered RAM and stick it up your ass, cuck.

Libreboot disables the Intel ME.

laugh my fucking ass off

How is the battery? temperature?

Might as well buy an old Macbook pro, save yourself a few hundred bucks

Hidpi screen are a meme. You just end up scaling everything away. Would much rather have the few extra hours of battery life
Take control of your life then you pussy

Garbage battery though.
Butterfly is trash, the "old" one is at least as good as the x230's.
Not to mention it runs Linux ootb better than almost every other laptop out there.
they're cheap as fuck now with a student discount, and you even get a pair or wireless beats that you can sell.

Enjoy your 1366x768 chinkpad you fucking faggot

I've owned the following:
15" MacBook Pro (2008)
15" MacBook Pro Retina (2012)
13" MacBook Pro (2014)
13" MacBook Air (2014)
12" MacBook (2015)
13" MacBook Pro (2017)
12" MacBook (2017)

I can say from experience, the 12" 2017 MacBook (i7, 16GB) is truly GOD tier computing. And no, I didn't pay for any of this stuff except the 2008 MBP.

I am a faggot that carries Dell Precision M4600

$1000>$100

I used the leftover cash for a dual xeon 16 core rig. And a gtx1050ti. And booze.

MacBook Air is a good machine for Linux, Linus Torvalds uses one. But I personally don't want it because I don't want to look like a gay, Apple users with their flamboyant behaviour made Apple hardware look like women'r or gays' accessories. So I bought Asus UX310UQ with nVidia to learn CUDA as well.

No he doesn't, he said the screen was trash and got a Chromebook or something. I think he gave the mac to his kids.

I don't see a MacBook air (or any Mac whatsoever) from 2007 with a 1920x1200 screen.
>ThinkPad T61p FTW

are you feeling envy?

>TN EYE CANCER panel
>god machine
LOOOL

real talk tho, i was sorta interested in the new pro until they added that stupid meme bar which had the nice side effect of making it insanely expensive

the display and touchpad are just great and if the keyboard didnt suck id buy it even at the premium desu

fucking memebar

He still does though
And Linus specifically spoke out against stupid screens with too high a resolution

Thats why you get a Mac air
Walk into an Apple store and most of the tine they'll give you the student discount no questions asked. You even get free beats that you can use or resell

>obsolete shite TN panel for half the price of a surface pro
yeah fuck off

Albion ;)

>using anything other than macOS on a MacBook

What the fuck are you doing nigger? That's the only fucking reason why they're decent, the perfect marriage of hardware and software by 1 company. If you want loonex just get a ThinkPad. If you're not using macOS on this machine then it has only cons and no advantages to a ThinkPad or anything else.

>I don't want to look like a gay, Apple users with their flamboyant behaviour

What the fuck are you talking about? What 'Apple users'? Is this 2006 again with Apple being super niche? Are you retarded in general for thinking anything Apple these days has a certain audience and isn't normie as fuck?

On my Thinkpad, I'd rather run Linux

On my macbook, I'd rather run OS X

It's breddy good on its native hardware you know

The 17" MacBook Pro is 1920x1200 you fucking brainlet.

>"FTW"

Neck yourself.
