why is nobody talking about this? I can't decide between the upcoming new 2018 macbook air and the new thinkpad t480, as I am going to start my university in the september, I want to but my first ever laptop and want it to be good. Please help me to decide. The reason I want to buy the macbook because I am developing iOS apps on my iMac and want to develop on laptops now.
So if someone already has bought the new thinkpad t480, describe how it is working for oyu like heavy-usage and other things
it's 2000 usd laptop
base price is 1400 something
Can't speak for the T480 but my broughter has bought the T580 with the nVidia GPU. He isntalled an aftermarket nvme sssd (samsung 960 evo) and upgraded the ram to 32GB and, of course, he bought the UHD display.
The laptop itself is absolutely awesome. Easily fucks with my 2015 15" macbook pro.
macbook isn't that slow compared to that, is it?
what about macbook with 8gb ram and i7? are they good? i thought os x is pretty optimised
First off, what do you plan on using the laptop for?
Shit laptop at least wait until lenovo launches the A485 because it will be better than the current t series
I want it for application development, heavy browsing, small time blender modeling for unity, also dual booting, littlle fl studio works. Mostly what a developer-artist would use. But I'm mostly gonna be using android studio but it uses a lot of ram and really slow on my pc, cause the lack of an ssd.
Well, the ULV CPU in the T580 is about as fast as the 45W Core i7 4770HQ in my MBP.
The T580 has a UHD display, far better keyboard and can be upgraded though. It also costs significantly less.
