god no. thinkpads are horrible. i mean a guess as far as laptops go they are above average on the horrible totem pole but its gunna be a YMMV significantly deal.

several of my friends and i got a t430 during a blackfriday sale and all of them had serious problems in under a year. i had to piecemeal replace almost every component and still had some major cap short out on it and just gave up. later models are supposedly p bad now too

definitely avoid anything that isn't the T-series, and even then don't get a t-series

tbf a lot of technology goes for "sleek" in a way that instead comes off as incredibly dull. plus gamer laptops are ugly as poo poo in the way like over-the-top sports cars are, and in a similar way a stylish woman could likely actually just pull it off

the xps15 notably sort of ticks the boxes on being a good size/weight/thickness for the hardware it packs, and has a bunch of metal and feels sturdy, but it is still incredibly drab and uninspired

if i didn't already look like a tool by nature i would seriously consider the microsoft carpet computer in some wacky color

yeah this. I guess I could just slap a shitload of stickers on it and it'd sort of even it out

the other laptop I was looking at was the aero but that looked like a clown as well plus it wasn't as well made. it's basically the xps15 or the razer now

ffs Apple just loving get over yourself already

I went in a razer store with a friend of mine and when we walked in I joked "I bet the sales guy only talks to me" and lo and behold even though I was standing there staring at my phone and she was actually looking at mice two different sales guys came up to me and none talked to her

its not. even the old m3800 trackpads feel less cheap and finnicky than the trackpad on an xps 15.

the xps15 touchpad is the best one, but I also don't have motor control problems so I'm capable of using tap to click.

Apple did a really bad job on the Windows drivers for the trackpad but that's what the MX Master is for when using Windows on a Mac.
