@monkbent only thing holding them back recently has been comparatively low screen resolution. Looks like they're addressing this.

@njashanmal yes, that has been rough. Forgot about that -
@monkbent very much wanted a Carbon X1 but low-res screen held me back. Recent laptop quest chronicled here: http://narainjashanmal.com/the-agony-and-ecstasy-no-just-agony-of-buying-a-laptop … -
@njashanmal that has 1650x1080, right? That's acceptable... 1920 on a Windows laptop is rough. And that's a beautiful machine. -
@monkbent no, unfortunately it's 1600x900 or at least it was when I was looking, perhaps a new model on the way. -
@njashanmal that's right. Still, Windows doesn't handle high resolution that well in my experience. -
@monkbent True. But makes a big difference to fonts (on webpages, PDFs, etc) and movie watching...

@monkbent I grew up on ThinkPads; to some degree I still miss them. -
@caseyliss totally; I sprayed some water on my mbp today, and as I scurried to clean it up, I reminisced that Thinkpads have a drain :) -
@monkbent Yes, those were the days. I also miss the engineering insanity that was the butterfly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_Butterfly_keyboard … -
@caseyliss@monkbent I remember being seriously incapable of operating laptops that didn’t have the thinkpad’s rubber pointer. -
@haditurk@caseyliss that's still the case for all Windows laptops that only have a trackpad -

@monkbent aside from price, right? -
@direwolfram given how much I use a computer, price is the LAST thing I think about. At a per hour used rate difference is negligible

@monkbent and by extension, having to wrangle a ThinkPad at work for the last year, I cannot fathom why anyone would buy a Windows PC.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
