Thinkpads used to be quality machines, but my last two laptops broke after just a year. One was keyboard, other was mouse pad.
Is it really that hard to put quality components in parts that are physically touched a lot?
Im going for some other brand next time but they all kind of suck now it seems.
It’s not hard, but the more laptop lasts, the longer it will take before you buy a new one.
My 2017 MacBook pro, the shittiest MacBook version of the 21rst century, functioned well and was my primary computer until a couple months ago.
I’m not that familiar with newer ThinkPads as I only ever used a L540 and a T420, but can’t you just replace the trackpad or keyboard if it breaks?
I probably can, yeah. Its just that it feels like I lose trust in a brand where such things break so easily.
I know its not comparable, but my external keyboard and mouse has worked for probably 6 years now without a single problem. Why is it so hard to put quality components in a laptop. Seems like cost savings. And those machines are really expensive.
Sadly Apple is the only company making good laptop hardware it seems. Just have to deal with a huge price tag and reduced compatibility!
I got a framework, which is built around quality parts, repairability, and upgradeability. Theoretically it’s the last laptop I will ever buy.
I liked the concept but the reviews have not been amazing. I hope you like it, because I would love to have one if its actually good.
