I'd be a fool to buy a new laptop for my use case. Give me an off lease Thinkpad with no SSD I'll furnish my own drive and OS. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jef@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago I thought of getting a laptop from tuxedocomputers, the original reason I got a mac was I was fed up with windows, my last laptop was toast, and needed something asap, that i didn't need a time investment to use since uni courses were starting soon. Learning there's a company that makes fair priced, built for linux machines with their own distro, that now seems like the perfect device for me. The one good thing about macs is they don't loose that much value, so I can resell it and buy something other than a mac permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago I bought a MacBook Pro in 2011 to play games when I’m not at home (installed Windows on it) and it still works amazingly to this day. I did swap the DVD drive out for a solid state drive and increased the RAM to 16GB. It lasts 1.6 playthroughs of Beetlejuice on maximum brightness on the original battery… but the battery only has like 26 cycles cuz I always had it plugged in. Zero regrets. permalink fedilink source parent
