Thinkpad vs MacBook pro? I'm thinking of buying a new laptop :p

My favorite OS is Linux (Ubuntu)

    I'd go for the ThinkPad. Better performance/price

    If you need photoshop, sketch and other design tools go for the mac and run a linux VM on it.

    If not then take the thinkpad or the dell xps and put linux on it. Hell Yeah!

    I setup a dualboot for ubuntu on my macbook pro. It works, but i think a thinkpad would be better for linux. The battery runs out of power pretty quickly. Further, ubuntu does not recognize the webcam. And it does not go into sleep mode when i close the laptop, which is really annoying at night or when i put the mbp in may bag because it becomes really hot.

    What are you actually going to use it for though son?

    If you don't need OSX, thinkpad... hardware should be better for the cost.

    If you may need OSX (Mac/iOS development) then I've found it easier to run Linux/windows on a MacBook than I have OS X on any other hardware.

    If your primary need is to run a Linux distribution and do some general stuff and dev then crack on with the think pad.

    I've installed Linux on a Mac. Not the easiest thing in the world. But man it looks nice when your done. No web cam support just fyi

    Oh, I forgot to mention; if you want people to think you're cool, and girls to swarm around you... MacBook.

    Idk why but they love the MacBooks.

    I own both. It's a matter of preference really. My Lenovo thinkpad x230(i5,16GB,SSD) is running Ubuntu 16.04 and My Mac(i5,16GB,SSD) is running Sierra. I prefer the Lenovo, only use the Mac for Xcode. The Booting time for lenovo is only 3 seconds and love the keyboard.
