That depends. Does the keyboard on the thinkpad work?
- it does
  
  Laptops had so much class back then.
  
  @Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz You know which one that is?
- Why? Unless you're avid about the Track point, you're going to have a USB mechanical attached.
  
  Unless I have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using an external keyboard with a laptop is a shitty experience for me. And if I’m at home and trying to get work done, I’m using my desktop PC.
  
  Do people really use a secondary keyboard when laptops already have one? Generally attached to the screen and non-removable?
- Yes
ThinkPad: has a thinklight
ipad: doesn't have a thinklight

thinkpad wins
- Spit your fax brother!
What are they competing in?
- Circle jerking
Depends on what kind of generation of MacBook that is. Intel-series? I'm leaning ThinkPad. M-series? It's gonna have to be the MacBook.
- that's an iPad
  
  EDIT: it's M4
  
  Well, it's obviously not going to be the iPad that wins in that case
  
  A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.
slow? with linux?
- I mean, it's an IBM ThinkPad, it is slow. Linux just makes it usable.
  
  I lost my sense of perceiving slowiness after installing linux
- by specs alone
  
  EDIT: the meme had some hyperbole involved to ridicule the ipad
