Because most USB readers used with laptops just plug directly into the port.
A dirty piece of plexiglas is an alternative.
Not a particulary *desirable* alternative...
Fair enough - I know a lot of folks who have Macbooks for that reason. That said, they're getting sticker shock too.
That seems to be the consensus after some googling. For $1500 you cannot beat that. Hell I paid $2000 for the w530 3-4 years ago. 32gb ram though.
I'm sorely tempted to build a Hackintosh for my next desktop - I really do like the operating system.
The @#$@! hardware, not so much.
If you aren't picky about your display or add your own RAM, you can get a $1500 P50 with 64GB.
The future is here, and it doesn't have a lot of hard disk paging.
I had some of the older Macs, and they were rather rugged machines of great reliability. The new ones are not quite so sensible in their construction, and even premium products like Thinkpads offer a lot more power for a lot less money.
If it works, it works. But I would not want to own my 2013 rMBP at five years of age. Heck, I'm a bit nervous about it at three.
> Worse displays
Surface and most top end devices have surpassed retina. To the point where I keep wondering if Apple will release Retina 2.0
> worse trackpads (or just a lack of gesture support due to Windows)
Windows has supported gestures in a premium way since 8. Those gestures are on par with Mac, and that is at the OS level. Not all OEMs support it, but every device I suggested does.
> OEM installed bloatware
That's why you always buy Microsoft Certified devices.
> then there's just the stability of OS X vs Windows
In my experience working with both OSs, El Capitan is far less stable that Windows 10 with Anniversary update.
Thinkpads kinda went downhill for a while, but some of the newer ones are back to the old standards - heavy metal frames under the plastic, big cooling systems, and removable batteries.
Yeah, it has the weight of a 10-year-old laptop, but it has all the advantages, too...
They use pretty mainstream chipsets (they'd rather throw money at Intel and make sure shit works) and there's a *lot* of development for thinkpads due to their popularity in IT.
Fair enough, but I would like to point out, based on the checklist above, your opinions are stuck half a decade in the past.
BTW, I switch between OSX and Windows daily because of my line of work. The same work that has me constantly playing with new devices. I'm not bias, I like both, but your ideas of Windows machines are dated.
