Ask HN: What happened to the monthly “Best Laptop" threads

Thanks for the link above. It actually helps me.

Nowadays it will be between MacBooks and SurfaceBooks.

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?
