It's actually not bad. The rhetoric has had an effect over the years.

It's actually not bad? "The most repairable MacBook in years" means practically nothing. And for someone who might be comparing with a Framework, it's probably an insult.

It's still a 6 on the scale, and parts pairing, third party restrictions are still in place.

For reference, the latest Thinkpad T series is 10/10, so a better build is clearly possible.

It is actually bad. Not as bad as previous models, but still bad.

  • That may be true, but a MacBook is still better value for your money than any of the new Thinkpads, performance and build-quality wise.

    • What's your universal "value for money" index that should apply to everyone ?

      For instance why should a touch support or better port selection be less valuable to me than let's say battery life ? Does supporting multiple OSes have a defined value to money ratio that I'm not aware of ?
