X1 vs 13 inch Retina

which one wins Jow Forums?

MacBook:
> 500 nits IPS Display - 2560x1600 (16:10)
> Iris Plus 655 Graphics (128MB DRAM)
> 2.3GHz Quad-core i5 (up to 3.8GHz) - Higher base, therefore higher multicore sustain speeds
> Massive i/o throughput (160Gb/s with 4 thunderbolt ports) - may need a lot of dongles tho...
> maxed out 16GB of RAM
> non upgradeable 512GB SSD
> $2199

Thinkpad X1 (6th gen):
> 300 nits IPS Display - 2560x1440 (16:9)
> Intel HD 620 graphics
> 1.9GHz Quad-Core i7 (up to 4.2GHz) - Higher boost, but it's configured at 15W
> More port options, but lower overall throughput
> Maxed out at 16GB of RAM
> Upgradeable 512GB SSD
> $2042

Alright Jow Forums, which one would you pick and why?

my boss is buying my stuff lol

Apple won.

To be honest, neither. Even the X1 is heavily overpriced.

this kills the thinkfag

>apple macbook pro with retina display is overpri-

IIRC you can make that Macbook price cheaper if you buy it online using a University's public wifi

neither. a macbook refresh is coming in like 2 months. ALWAYS buy with the upgrade cycle, not before.

It already happened. Look in the catalog. There are already multiple threads shitposting about it.

The MBP is grossly overpriced but so is the X1.

This is the refresh user. Coffee Lake on every MacBook!

Zenbook

HP elitebook with 700 nits display.

Huawei wins

Although the Thinkpad has a 600nit display with the HDR option

Obvious Mac shill. Why on Earth would I care about max io throughput compared to variety of ports

"overpriced" is Jow Forums-speak for "I'm poor"

Between the two? Get the X1. At least it won't cook itself to death like the mac with its "80c is no fan zone!" shit

A high end Desktop and a X280 for the same money, stop being retarded.

It x1 burns you alive (news about the battery was recently)

>a defective battery versus a design decision that makes you buy a new one every 2 years

that was a problem on the previous generation X1. The issue wasn't the battery either, but a loose screw that could come in contact with the battery and cause a short.

source?

so you would get the 1366x768 X280?

lmao.

Forgot that Lenovo campus prices are way below the regular ones, you got me.

IHaters will actually defend this!

show us your $1200 high end desktop, including the 4K display.

Der8auer bought a X1 so it should be good.

Why THE FUCK do you need 4K on a 13" screen unless you put it 12" from your face?

The Mac is Dual core 4 threads. The X1 is Quad Core 8 threads.
The X1 will smash the shit out of the Mac.

Also OP is lying about the X1 price, it literally costs half what he is saying.

you missed the point

check the specs stupid cunt

we are talking about portable machines with actual battery life here user...

Checked faggot, here is twice the specs with a better screen and its still $500 cheaper than lying OP macfag shithead says.

Lenovo’s website is completely fucked up I guess.

the x1 carbon is such a meme.
you cannot be a pro if you are buying tino bullshit like that.

you’re such an ugly meme

SAD!

if you're considering a chinkpad why not go all the way?

no thanks.

get a used x250

bro that's the same as X1C

I always laugh at when retards buy the (((new))) thinkpads and then act superior to macfags. Your chink piece of plastic costs nearly as much as this laptop made of metal and has nearly the same internals.

Shitpads have PWM flickering. Apple displays are leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.

Attached: 1515353057400.png (500x352, 47K)

This is better for the thinkfags. They can buy it for much less price when the first owner want the next one

> dual core
> in 2018

This.
The only advantage is that thinkpads destroy their value themselves in one or two years.

>my user case is different of your use case
>you must be a shill

Some people need 10Gb Internet, external graphics and 3 4K displays running at the same time user.

The Yoga X1 has OLED and it was literally the first laptop to have it.

Try harder macfag shill dipshit liar.

Maybe make some more fake news infographics.

>wanting a screen that kills itself

yeah an oled panel that is measurably and objectively worse than ips panels.

Also didn't that shit cost 3k with a dual core ulv? you're fucking stupid lol

>objectively worse than ips panels.
lol ips panels can't display black and they have backlight bleed. Cuck dipshit.

Macbook because of display and touchpad. Literally the only reasons I use a macbook

>300 nits

lol why fucking bother

also get an xps

1080p

top kek c'mon man

Actually the X1 has HDR and 500 nits, the lying macfag just wanted to make the X1 look bad so he chose the lower quality display.

only if you get the screen upgrade so he wasn't lying as he's comparing certain specs to price

if he got the screen upgrade its more than the mbp

And don't kill themselves and are cheaper even with shit like P3 calibration certification included.

> non upgradeable 512GB SSD
what do you do when the ssd dies? is it soldered?

X1, obviously. It's more durable than soda can macshit.

>Shitpads have PWM flickering
And on a real OS you could change the PWM rate on some models. It also obviously doesn't flicker at max backlight.
Meanwhile in applel
>Their 15" isn't even available with a 4k panel

If they can afford 3 4K displays and an eGPU setup, they could just buy a desktop and a laptop.

>SSD
>dying by normal use in normal conditions
That will take a bit of time, user.

>>Their 15" isn't even available with a 4k panel
Why a 4k panel at that screen size?

Nope.
He lied about the price too. Its a deliberately low specced X1 that he posted, you can get the updated screen and better specs for $500 less.

>P3 calibration
lmfao dude its Dolby Vision, HDR10 its so far beyond P3 calibration in quality you can't even compare the two.

>Why a 4k panel at that screen size?
Why not?
Besides, 4k is nice because it evenly divides both 1080p and 720p.
You can set a 4k screen to 200% scaling, and you'll get the equivalent of 1080p, with anything non-scalable getting every pixel expanded to 2x2, which looks much cleaner than trying to do it on a non-multiple of the original res.

And yet an IPS panel with HDR10 would be cheaper.

A macbook with P3 calibration doesn't even come close to these graphs.

Attached: wew.png (414x358, 96K)

It would also be objectively worse. Dolby vision is an improved HDR10, which completely covers the P3 color space and a shitload more.

>Why not?
Because at that scale the display is overly dense, so you get diminishing returns and consumes lot of battery life?
>Besides, 4k is nice because it evenly divides both 1080p and 720p.
Granted, its an advantage (if I liked 16:9 more than I like 16:10)
I tend to not like the idea of making panels at a fixed resolution to begin, I think that manufacturers should make their screens based in a fixed DPI instead.
How a HDR10 IPS would be worse than a HDR10 OLED one?

>consumes lot of battery life
Does it really? I'd imagine the backlight power usage dwarfs the energy used to actually drive the pixels.

Perhaps, but also the GPU has more strain because the quantity of pixels that it has to compute.
So I prefer dense enough over 4k or 5k absolute resolutions.

Shit contrast.

Yeah, but how much extra strain is it to paint the pixels? I'd imagine it doesn't even increase the idle power usage by half a watt.

I prefer shit contrast instead of changing the panel every five years.
I honestly don't know. I guess that isn't too much either.

The X1 non yoga version with the Dolby vision is an IPS.

macbook

filtered.

Wouldn't a 14" Razer Blade with a GTX 1070/1080 be a better choice?

Because Razer control quality is literal garbage.

Sure, if you never want to use it in public because everyone would think of you as the cringy /v/irgin fag that has no friends. At this point you can just buy a Desktop.

>paying $2,000 to run Windows 10 or a broken hobby OS

If you're getting any Windows laptop made for anything past Windows 7, you fucked up.

The deciding factor here is the Apple retina display's colour reproduction plus the 16:10 aspect ratio. Both objectively superior.

>what is Windows 10 LTSB

The X1 HDR display beat the Macbooks display in all regards, 100% sRGB and 100% Adobe RGB.

A retarded and gimped piece of shit OS that you have to play whack-a-mole with to stop it from shitting its pants. Its still Windows 10, just with some shit turned off. It still has all the inconsistencies and blunders of average Windows. It still has touchscreen UI bullshit everywhere. It still has 2 control panel/settings applications.

Attached: W530.png (1478x385, 44K)

The deciding factor here is the Macbook keyboard will fail in 2 months and require a $700 repair, if it doesn't just catch fire from the battery exploding first..

The new one has a different keyboard. Battery shit however, that hasn't even happened. Don't talk shit about exploding batteries when you're using a $15 chink battery for your povertypad x210. Poorfags love to just make shit up to make their lives better.

When even the Taliban of all people don't trust macshit to not explode, you know it's shit.

>some oil niggers who live in 150 degree environments have battery issues

Is that all you have? Seriously? Yeah no shit, don't put batteries in the oven, retard.

A mactoddler has defended his exploding chinktrash fruit shit.

Seriously though, if you're going to blow $2k you might as well get a graphics card.

Also if you're concerned about looking like a /v/irgin, that is still better than looking as if you've had a busy day blowing dudes at Starbucks for App Store gift cards.
