I thought windows on arm would kill apple's laptop monopoly, but it turned out to be shit...

So yeah, i hate the apple tax but this is indeed the best laptop

same thing but without a teeny euro enter on the right and a >< key in the bottom left

>>105821222
So why it didn't happened? I was going to buy one with a Snapdragon X.

I was thinking of getting a ultra portable laptop then remembered I'm not a bitch and can carry a workstation laptop without noticing.
I don't get these slim laptops they are just as fragile but with worse perforamnce.

>>105821241
I'm Europoor and even I don't like that layout. ANSI is so much better it's not even funny.

>>105821243
because microsoft isnt forcing developers to transition to arm like apple, so no one really has a reason to use it over x86
a cold start like that is destined to fail

>>105821134 (OP)
macbook air

>>105821243
Valve is currently working harder on this x86 to ARM translator thing than Microsoft itself.
Too many jeets in the latter.

>>105821134 (OP)
if ones has money - it's the best option. the drawback is time-limited support of OS
otherwise it's almost all the same - few non-shit tier laptops, all the rest (acer, gigabyte, etc) is trash
hopefully amd will improve ryzen max+ 395, so that it has more memory and bandwidth, having local non-shit tier llm running is essential in future

new cpus from amd with compact cores and from intel with efficient cores work much longer now. what's the win with arm then?

>>105821738
Well if Valve is working on that probably will become a niche thing such as playing games on Proton.

>>105821245
So what laptop do you have?

>>105821146
I need a X201 so bad. Any opinions?

>>105821912
And they get to brag about it because Gabe Newell quit Microsoft 30 years ago.

>>105821134 (OP)
The only interesting thing from that company are the iPads and as far I've heard the last ones sucks.

Obviously not that much compared to Android tablets, tough.

Love my T14s Gen4

It's less that the most recent ipads suck and more that the last 5+ years of ipad pros are all still pretty excellent. I bought a 2018 13" ipad pro 512gb for $400 refurbished back in 2022 and it still lasts all day while running at a rock-solid 120hz on everything. Great machine for Youtube/doodling/plex that I also use for editing photos on plane rides. I have zero reason to upgrade despite this thing being 7 years old at this point. A 13" 2025 512 ipad pro is $1499. Yeah, you get a nice OLED screen and additional future-proofing but there's no incentive to upgrade unless you're a power user, and if you're a power user just buy a MBP wtf.

Thinkpads and Macbooks are pretty much neck and neck but one is better than the other for two things:
Macbook is the absolute champion in battery life, nothing compares.
Thinkpads have the best keyboards period. A thinkpad keyboards shit all over any macbook keyboard, it's not even funny anymore.

>>105821134 (OP)
Thinkpad P52, Thinkpad X220, Thinkpad P50, Thinkpad T480, Thinkpad T420, should I go on?

Like you stuck a sim card in it and you're getting 2G WWAN?

That is not a Framework laptop dude

>>105821146
This
Temporarily used a 2022 MBP and it sucked, hated the aluminum feeling, trying to do anything on it was tedious and overly complicated and it vibrated when charging because retarded Apple didn't ground it properly.
Even the worst Thinkpad I've ever used (probably some shitty E-series model) stomps the MBP in terms of usability.

when is this stupid laptop getting dynamic island
that notch unironically has made me not want it

>>105821146
This. I love my X13 gen 2

>>105821146
I have a newer thinkpad and the battery life is like 4 hours vs easily over 12 for macbook pro

>>105823487
AMD or intel? I'm looking for X13 g2 5650U right now, how is the experience?

>>105821134 (OP)
Thinkpad if you're an engineer, Mac if you're not
I unironically have a Mac Studio at home but take a Thinkpad to work because a Macbook can't run the programs I need.

>>105821243
same reason UWP, Windows Mobile, and many other things failed:
- microsoft introduces something and then expects everyone around to adopt and to switch while putting zero effort and giving zero fucks from their end

>>105823502
AMD with the 5850U. It's great, my one regret is going for the WUXGA model with 16GB RAM over the oos at the time WQXGA 16GB RAM model. Oh and not getting the one with cellular

>>105823517
Meant WQXGA 32GB

>better laptop
>fucking camera notch
Literally anything. You can get a Ben NanoNote and it will be better because it doesn't have that gay faggot notch on the screen.

>>105821988
Reason to upgrade is continued support. Especially with the major shift occurring with iPadOS 26. I had a 2018 11” but after the reveal at WWDC this year decided it was time to put my 7 year old 11” to pasture. Luckily I found an 12.9” M2 for $550. It came with an authentic Magic Keyboard and box of unused paperlike screen protectors too. I was able to flip my 11” for $350 so the difference pretty much just paid for the MKB.

I will abandon Mac OS because they fucked it up with the Liquid Ass, and I'm 10000% certain it's going to decimate my Battery Life.

>>105821134 (OP)
The hardware is nice, too bad about the software.
