So for the past few years I've been using a Libreboot T400 that I picked up from mini free, until two weeks ago when the motherboard crapped the bed.
So I spent the weekend looking for a replacement -- I watched Rossman videos, read reviews and finally decided on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon. I headed to Best Buy and just for shits and giggles tried other laptops.
The X1 seemed solidly built, but what really caught my eye was the Pixelbook, it had a very nice handfeel, and surprisingly tactile keyboard, I thought just maybe I can run Crostini or Crouton on this guy and I'll be fine, but I kept walking.
Once I reached the MacBook display, it was all over, Just the smoothness of the animations, the god tier trackpad, the screen clarity -- it was like putting on glasses for the first time.
I bought it and now I will no longer be able to participate on /tpg/ threads, or apple-hate threads. To the Apple fans on this thread, I apologize you were right and I was stupid and just another case of sour grapes
Thank you for reading.
