Would you buy one?
Depends how much. Had Thinkpads for work for years and they've always been good, even becoming Lenovo hasn't hurt the quality.
would you not rather get an iPad? *runs from forum with hands over head*
😆
I have an x200 from work, and although I am a fully paid up, card carrying, screaming apple fanboi, I think thinkpads are still the best designed windows laptops.
I would.
Most 'branded' laptops are a safe bet these days apart from Sony (overpriced and too proprietary) and Fujitsu (cos they're gash).
No. For that money I'd buy a Mac book Air.
I have 2 macs, but I now need to run 1 application of windows, and I need to update my G4 laptop, and to be honest, the x201i looks far better value for the money.
And I'm sort of becoming anti - mac, they are the new MS
I had an X61 years ago, and it was amazing.. lasted ages, now it's running Linux 😀
If you wanted to get rid of the X61 I'd be interested!
Parallels and a cheapy copy of Windows 7?
Sorry I of course mean VMWare Fusion being a paid up VMWare fanboi 😳
brassneck, I thought that, but I can buy an X201i for almost half the price of a Macbook Pro, it doesn't make (financial) sense, to buy one.
I'm looking for a good, lightweight laptop, and as I have to pay for it myself, this seems a good one. The only thing I don't like is no built in camera... but I'll save enough to buy a nice one
I'm a thinkpad fan (use them at work and are great) but if you're paying near the £900-£1K that a simple google comes up with then I'd not bother 🙂
