^^^Uh.....yeah. He's been posting here since 2003 and has been waiting for the day where he could start a Mac vs PC thread.
Or the more likely scenario: He's serious.
I'd continue to look at Lenovo. I know the new unibody notebook
feels sturdier, particularly when compared to the old one, but if you really think about it, there's only 2 things people need to be concerned about: wear-and-tear, and accidents. In terms of wear-and-tear, the Classic MBP and PowerBooks didn't wear poorly. In fact, I've never had a laptop just fall apart on me from normal usage. That's why I never understood why people considered the new MBP's unibody as more durable than the MBP "Classic". Neither the classic or unibody MBPs wear poorly after usage (except the new black keyboards wear out much faster
), and yet neither can withstand any physical damage. Other than
perceived durability, what have they improved?
On the other hand, the Lenovos can resist more than just wear-and-tear. They're not fault-proof or idiot-proof, but they're going to be able to take an impact better than a laptop made from one of the softest metals on Earth.
Spill some water on a Lenovo's keyboard, and the water will just drain from holes at the bottom of the keyboard. A MBP or MBP would just die.
If durability is a massive concern, I'd recommend a Lenovo. If durability isn't the biggest factor, then there are quite a few Windows laptops on the market that are "tough enough" in most situations. That's what I'd consider a 15" MBP......"tough enough".
