Is everyone satisfied with what they have? Is most of the computing being done in the cloud and the computer is just a portal?

Everyone gave up after they realized the inherent superiority of ThinkPads.

I was a Thinkpad guy for about a decade. However, this time around, I went with a refurbished Dell Precision M4800 instead. This is mostly due to the numerous articles I've read bemoaning Lenovo for crappy 'modern' designs, pre-installed malware, etc.

I'd love to see this question answered again every few months.

not to discredit how reliable thinkpads are, but wasn't there news that lenovo's been installing secret backdoors on its laptops?

It stopped around the same time, someone created the Used Thinkpad Guide: http://ktgee.net/post/49423737148/thinkpad-guide

Nowadays it will be between MacBooks and SurfaceBooks.
