That depends. Does the keyboard on the thinkpad work?
it does
Laptops had so much class back then.
@Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz You know which one that is?
Thats the 701c, codenamed butterfly.
the butterfly keyboard not the garbage apple made
That would be the thread I was replying in, yes.
Why? Unless you’re avid about the Track point, you’re going to have a USB mechanical attached.
Unless I have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using an external keyboard with a laptop is a shitty experience for me. And if I’m at home and trying to get work done, I’m using my desktop PC.
Do people really use a secondary keyboard when laptops already have one? Generally attached to the screen and non-removable?
We have people at work that INSIST they need an external keyboard instead of the built in one.
I could understand if the laptop was off to the side or something. But they’ll just scoot the laptop back 6 inches then place the Apple Magic Keyboard exactly where the laptop was.
Apple Magic Keyboard
There’s no point then
Ha, I better not tell you about the Apple Keyboard I use with my Linux laptop then. Don’t like macOS much, but I love their flat keyboards.
Oh, and then I pair it with a very boring Dell mouse for extra style.
It’s too bad than no other OS has made the strides to compete with the Magic Trackpad though.
I’m happy with the flat keyboard too, but the touch pad is the killer interface on Macs
Have you tried the Logitech Mx keys? They’re very similar to the Magic Keyboard. Not quite as small, but then you have less of the Mac keyboard on non Mac OS quirks.
I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.
I so strongly prefer the mechanical keyboard and trackball to the built-in gear that if I’m doing any serious typing, a keyboard and mouse are always attached.
Yes
If they have a nub instead of a track pad, yes
But nubs are superior to trackpads!
Yes indeed! I use a QWERTY with international layout because I will not use an AZERTY keyboard ever again to do any sort of work. Fuck that noise.
Yes

If I wanted my computer to make a sound, I’d wet my finger and rub it on the screen.
Huh?
I’ve used Vim for a decade and I would be offended if it made any noise.

ThinkPad: has a thinklight

Depends on what kind of generation of MacBook that is. Intel-series? I’m leaning ThinkPad. M-series? It’s gonna have to be the MacBook.
that’s an iPad
EDIT: it’s M4
A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.
No, Apples to Lenovos.
Depending on the Thinkpad model it could be Apples to IBMs
I’m making fun of the fact that no matter how powerful the processor they put in (probably faster than most laptops to this date) they cannot do simple things the Thinkpad can.
Not true at all. The iPad excels at simple things and will do them much better than an ancient Thinkpad. The iPad cannot do specialized or complex things.
Well, it’s obviously not going to be the iPad that wins in that case
slow? with linux?
I mean, it’s an IBM ThinkPad, it is slow. Linux just makes it usable.
I lost my sense of perceiving slowiness after installing linux
by specs alone
EDIT: the meme had some hyperbole involved to ridicule the ipad
