		pen2l on July 6, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: New MacBook Air with M2 My super light and thin [1] Carbon X1 Thinkpad from about 5 years ago has 16gb ram, half TB SSD and still runs like a champ with 200 tabs open. It's just strange to see a premium brand product not being able to compete with same-category class products from a half-decade ago. [1]: Lighter, in fact, than this MB Air M2

You can spec it with or 16 or 24 GB and the CPU is going to be miles faster than your Thinkpad.

Sometimes I think people just want to feel good about their purchases… It’s 5 years old, it’s okay if it’s not top of the line anymore.
