The hardware is cool but iPad OS makes it very useless
Is there anything actually competing in the android space ?
The ipad would win if it had a usable OS.
What are they competing in?
Circle jerking
slow? with linux?
by specs alone
EDIT: the meme had some hyperbole involved to ridicule the ipad
Me, using a cheap old laptop that does exactly what I need instead of rebuying overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out.
that will outlast the apple product 100% guaranteed
ThinkPad: has a thinklight
ipad: doesn’t have a thinklightthinkpad wins
Spit your fax brother!
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.
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.
No, Apples to Lenovos.
Depending on the Thinkpad model it could be Apples to IBMs
Well, it’s obviously not going to be the iPad that wins in that case
That depends. Does the keyboard on the thinkpad work?
it does
Laptops had so much class back then.
@[email protected] 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?
I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.
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.
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
