TBH I'm liking Macs more and more. My company is a remote, dispersed consultancy and allows users to choose Apple or Lenovo. First, it's cheaper to get a Macbook Air 24GB than a roughly-equivalent Lenovo X1 Carbon core i7 32GB. The Air holds up better to the consultants' constant travel. The Air has

What’s all the hyper with the X1 Carbons
X1C is a carbon fiber composite, most others are an aluminum alloy + plastic. So you get a far sturdier chassis with a lower weight, making them ridiculously durable for their size. Lenovo has had a build partnership with Intel for this model forever so they get specifically engineered, making their

Was zur Hölle ist mit den ThinkPad-Preisen passiert? KI hin oder her, das ist doch nicht mehr normal.
Waren sie. Nur gerade nicht, weil Apple seine Einkäufe lange im voraus plant und Lieferanten unter Druck setzt. Ich habe mein TP X1 Carbon 12th Gen im Maximalausbau (Oled, 64GB RAM, 4TB Storage, H195) für ~2.6k vor etwa 2 Jahren regulär via Lenovo gekauft. Für den Preis hätte ich mir vielleicht ein

Kenapa harga bekas Thinkpad bisa jatuh jauh dari harga rilis nya dibanding Laptop merk lain?
ThinkPad itu biasanya gak dijual di retailer Lenovo resmi di mall (kalau pun ada, dikit sekali). Yang beli kantor. Setelah 5 tahun, dijual sekaligus ratusan. Harga setelah penyusutan sudah "Rp 0". Dijual berapa pun, kantor tetep "untung" dan masuk ke "other income". Jadi dijual murah, dengan kondisi

Thinkpad T14S Gen 5 - Why aren't there a lot of reviews for this version?
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T14s-Gen-5-laptop-review-The-premium-T-ThinkPad-with-Intel-Core-Ultra.866472.0.html 165H should be better, but less battery life (comparable to Zen 3 IIRC?). Not sure how it cools the 165H. T14s positioning is horrible in recent gens, especially Intel, a

X9 vs X1 Carbon - Pricing
I'd go for T14, maybe t14s or X9 - the X1 Carbon always was "expensive, but cool and slow", it was never about being a good deal I also hate to say it, but if you are not overly attached windows/linux, just get a macbook. Even refurbished M4 Pro or something like that will be miles ahead in terms of

MacBook Air M1 is the best purchase I have ever made
The X1 Carbons and T series feel nice (especially recent ones) but they're not a solid piece of metal so they're always going to have some creak compared to a MacBook. But the hinges are very solid and the keyboard praise is real. There are a lot of other compromises though compared to a MacBook. Wi

Personal laptop
I feel like a Macbook Air is excellent value for money at that price point. If you want a good ThinkPad (say X1 carbon) you'll probably need to pay more. But maybe do the research and ask a question based on exact models you can get at that price point locally.

Why is the X1 Carbon considered the most premium ThinkPad?
For me, the X1 Carbon is considered the “premium” ThinkPad mainly because of the design philosophy behind it rather than raw performance. Lenovo positions it as their showcase model the one that’s supposed to represent the brand at its best. In day-to-day use though, the differences aren’t as dramat
