Just finished cleaning the insides of:
* 2019 MacBook Pro 16”
* Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5
Winners:
Ease of access: ThinkPad (barely)
Build quality: MacBook (not close. Thinkpad is a piece of shit on inside, tiny speakers just died within 2 weeks, everything plastic)
Cooling solution: MacBook (by a landslide. Thinkpad idles at 80C)
Upgradability: Thinkpad (SSD and Ram x2)
Cost: MacBook (it was half the price of this Thinkpad)
Overall, I’m floored that $4000 into a “workstation class” laptop, it sucks in this many ways compared to a stock MacBook. I’ll never buy Lenovo again.
