I just bought a used Thinkpad T470, and with arch linux (btw), hyprland, and neovim, I’m starting to like this machine more than my M1 macbook. The one thing I always thought my M1 couldn’t be beat at by an IBM compatible laptop is battery life, but the T470 actually has very good battery life. I’m not using the T470 for anything CPU intensive, but it’s the same with my MacBook. Just hobby projects, mostly writing code. I’m starting to wonder why I paid > 1k for a MacBook when a $200 used thinkpad is totally fine.
