Very often I am asked by others (ok, by Jace, Sameer and a couple more) why I don’t move over to a macbook? After all, they are the best laptops money can buy! Right?
Well, my simple answer to them is … not while I can still get my grubby paws on a kik-ass ThinkPad with it’s excellent build and that awesome trackpoint!
Muuuhhhhahaaa! Suckas!
Happy 15th, ThinkPad!

Get a Macbook (Pro, if you wish). It’s the best of both worlds.

Why would you ever get HP/Dell unless you are broke student or just-want-outlook-professional??
Mac-IBM question I can understand but HP/Dell???

@subhi, 3 necessary conditions:
Want to micro manage the parts that go in
Don’t need tech support for anything software. Only care about hardware warranties (I hear that Lenovo is the best in the latter)
Don’t care about sex appeal of the equipment
I ended up with a Dell this Feb (I can completely understand if you don’t want to talk to me anymore) simply because it came closest to satisfying my esoteric parts combo needs.
