satyajeet23on Apple Isn't Your Friend

Gizmodo is still not over with Apple! I noticed this so many times. After the lawsuit between Apple and Gawker media - which is the parent of Gizmodo - they've been acting like this.

satyajeet23on Why Lenovo Is the Best Laptop Brand and Apple Fell Off a Cliff

I completely disagree with this 'Op-Ed'! I've recently used 3 of the latest ThinkPads, including X1 Carbon for 1 month - alongside my primary machine i.e MacBook - and I don't think there is ANY comparison between the two in any way!

Yes, If MacBook did not existed and I had to buy one, I'd probably may be buy X1. It is good in that sense, better than many others.

satyajeet23on The best laptop ever made

I totally agree! Though I bought my 13" non-retina MacBook Pro (mid-2012) on the day it was launched in 2012 (5 years ago!) and upgraded it with faster RAM and replaced the 750 HDD with 500GB SSD, and this machine is a beast in performance!

I have used and compared it to the other latest Macs, and though I can notice the performance increase, I find it a little minimal compared to the 5-year old machine I have! The Non-Macs are not even close, not even on the list, and no, I am not saying this just because of the MacOS, I find the overall experience to be shitty. I cannot imagine using HP/Dell laptops, with that OS!
