glad to see there's not even an attempt to defend this.

#4Assuming heavy weight and Super VGA-ish resolution are some of your key selling points, anyway.

Yeah I'll pass. But for sure you have extremely useful VGA port if you want to burn your eyes with CRTs.

The resolution is the least of the problems too - it’s not even IPS (at least on my otherwise-excellent X220). Perhaps one day I’ll do the surgery to change it out though…

A lot of the old Thinkpads were great in the context of their time. But I actually had to look for the date on this article. It’s hard to take an argument seriously that this laptop is actually the laptop of choice today for the vast majority of use cases. (I still have an x270 at home I think with Linux loaded but I rarely use it.)

As a *nix defender of the past 20 years, I must admit: Yepp.

#9Thinkpadism is really just "things used to be better", as evidenced by the models then-decried by thinkpadders as low quality flexing plastic garbage being hailed as "built like a tank" today, simply because it's old now. Just wait, eventually the X230 and X240 will be called "some of the greatest thinkpads ever made, built like tanks".

#10Was. Despite owning one, I'd rather use my 14" M1 MBP thanks. Hell if I had to have a PC I've got a much much nicer Lenovo T14 gen 3 here!
For the MBP in comparison: Better screen, performance, battery life, OS that actually mostly works, connectivity, sound. The keyboard isn't that bad either...
As for ports, I don't need 'em. Last thing I want to do is drag a fucking drunken octopus around with me.
Even as a ThinkPad fanboy this ancient ThinkPad love is getting into self-flaggelating religious drivel territory.
