> The original design concept of ThinkPad was created in 1990 by Italy-based designer Richard Sapper, a corporate design consultant of IBM and, since 2005, Lenovo.[7][8][9] Sapper is noted for the design of classic products such as the Tizio lamp for Artemide, office chair for Knoll, kitchenwares for Alessi and ballpoint for Lamy.[10][11] The design was based on the concept of a traditional Japanese Bento lunchbox revealing its nature only after being opened.[3][7][9] According to later interviews with Sapper, he also characterized the simple ThinkPad form to be as elementary as a simple, black cigar box and with similar proportions that offers a 'surprise' when opened
Why people jerk off everything that Apple shits out when all their designs are just bargain store Dieter Rams while an actual designer is behind Thinkpads is beyond me.

the usual
try directing some of the same disdain people have for evil techbros towards other groups every once in a while. you will find it fits very well
>>29260glowing, underpowered, no-ports, overthin-for-no-reasons.
at least its UNIX though.
>>29271Still the best laptop on the market
>>29272OK?
>>29336>sorry boss I couldn't reply because I was swapping my batteryThat test was also just watching videosloppa, which is sadly the most optimized use case these days. Real working time tends to be about 30% more draining. What's the point of a laptop that can't comfortably make it through a workday without getting plugged in?

>>29276>the price is a ripoff, but there's no ARM laptops that aren't absolute shit eitherMacbook Air is cheaper than any Snapdragon X laptop which is pretty much the only other non-shit ARM laptop chipset.
>>29370Still downplaying the inconvenience of spare batteries even if you're just plugging a powerbank into the USBC. A laptop should be able to last an entire workday on battery. It makes a huge difference in convenience that you don't appreciate until you've tried it. My work laptop is mind bogglingly more powerful but also a bulky piece of shit with about 4 hours battery life. Got a used M1 macbook air that I code on during the weekends and it's fucking night and day I can pack a lunch work in the park while it's cool in the morning go to a cafe in the afternoon, don't need to charge once all day, not lugging around deadweight.
