Any time I would listen to a tech podcast, they'd discuss Apple/its products for a majority of the time, despite OSX having less than 20% market share (and iOS having like half of Android's as well). But obviously since their products are the priciest as well as the most """prestigious""" they deserve an inordinate amount of attention and hype.
I bought this thinkpad about 5 years ago used. It was already a few years old at that point. Since then, I have lived in a 10X15 cabin in ontario, a 10X15 cabin with a wood stove for heat in cape breton for a year, went to India with it and fully lived in a tent with it for a summer until my tent collapsed due to a rain storm (I think the laptop was being stored in a consturction site at that time so it was "safe"), and it still works like the day I got it, aside from the paint coing off some of the keys. I don't know about the newer models, but this vintage is fucking bomb proof.
Before that, I had some Acer laptop that I bought new for double the price and it lasted for 2 years before the CPU fan broke.
Damn, you certainly sound like you've led an interesting life. I had an X220 (about 2010-ish I think?) and it survived the extremely gentle task of being my daily driver for a few years pretty well, besides losing a key cap which I basically pried off because of boredom
Interesting life is for the dogs. I built a house 2 years ago where I live with my wife and son and it's like pulling teeth to get me to drive an hour to the mainland now.
Why'd you downvote me tho :(
I didn't. I actually found it odd that someone else did. I don't really use the vote buttons.
Oh alright, nvm then. Anyway can I move in with you
Sure.
