<p>I was awarded a free laptop for my next year. I was wondering if anyone knows how good the ThinkPads are and whether you recommend I use another laptop instead.</p>
<p>i have a thinkpad that I bought a long time ago, and I use it on a daily basis to do homework. It’s fairly convinient and it’s durable as well. I intend to use the thinkpad at uni, and keep a brand new one for other assignments because I don’t want it to wear down as I am carrying it over to classes every day.</p>
<p>If you’re awarded a free laptop, take it. The Thinkpads aren’t nearly as bad as people make them out to be, as long as you treat them right.</p>
<p>I got the grant too, and if you want to upgrade to the macbook you can pay the difference out of pocket. Either way, I would pick the lenovo or use the grant to upgrade to a macbook, not get an entirely different laptop</p>
