dells are unironically good now

the high end laptops are as non poo poo as you can get (clit mouse is the only thing that's still better in thinkpads rather than merely the same)

the mid and high tier desktops and workstations are reliable and robust with decent quality hardware sitting in cases that are better than 1337 :pcgaming: cases in literally every way (esp airflow, robustness, ease of being opened up, pcie latches instead of dumb screws, handles in the correct places given the centre of gravity, and non shameful looks). i'm literally planning to scavenge a precision t5800 or similar workstation case for my next home pc build

i tell my students these days that they should buy whatever computer system they're comfortable with, because solidworks runs fine in dual-boot (as long as you have a 3 button mouse) and okay in parallels so it's not worth putting up with windows if you really hate it just to run one program. if you were doing nothing but solidworks every day all day, then yeah get a windows cause you're going to be staying in that environment the whole time anyway. i basically do run solidworks at least a few hours a day 3+ days a week so i have a thinkpad.

the same thing applies to games. you gonna play one game once in a while? stick with the mac. you a leet gamer? get a windows desktop you stupid dummy, nobody games on a laptop, let alone a fuckin mac laptop
