It stopped when every reply was either about macbooks or thinkpads.
Nowadays it will be between MacBooks and SurfaceBooks.
Everyone gave up after they realized the inherent superiority of ThinkPads.
I was a Thinkpad guy for about a decade. However, this time around, I went with a refurbished Dell Precision M4800 instead. This is mostly due to the numerous articles I've read bemoaning Lenovo for crappy 'modern' designs, pre-installed malware, etc.
I'd love to see this question answered again every few months.
Don't forget the stupid new keyboard :(
not to discredit how reliable thinkpads are, but wasn't there news that lenovo's been installing secret backdoors on its laptops?
