That depends. Does the keyboard on the thinkpad work?
- it does
  
  Laptops had so much class back then.
  
  @[email protected] You know which one that is?
- Why? Unless you're avid about the Track point, you're going to have a USB mechanical attached.
  
  Unless I have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using an external keyboard with a laptop is a shitty experience for me. And if I’m at home and trying to get work done, I’m using my desktop PC.
  
  Do people really use a secondary keyboard when laptops already have one? Generally attached to the screen and non-removable?
- Yes
- And speaker. Vimers can't use a machine without a speaker.
  
  If I wanted my computer to make a sound, I'd wet my finger and rub it on the screen.
  
  Huh?
  
  I've used Vim for a decade and I would be offended if it made any noise.
  
  visual bell?
ThinkPad: has a thinklight
ipad: doesn't have a thinklight

thinkpad wins
- Spit your fax brother!
What are they competing in?
- Circle jerking
The hardware is cool but iPad OS makes it very useless
- That greatly depends on what use you give it. I literally never cared for tablets but lately tried my SO's and found out they make great luxurious manga readers. Would still not buy one but wouldn't reject a free iPad.
  
  Ereaders are up your alley
- Is there anything actually competing in the android space ?
  
  Chromebooks are the default for many schools
  
  No, I'd just use a laptop
Depends on what kind of generation of MacBook that is. Intel-series? I'm leaning ThinkPad. M-series? It's gonna have to be the MacBook.
- that's an iPad
  
  EDIT: it's M4
  
  A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.
  
  Well, it's obviously not going to be the iPad that wins in that case
Me, using a cheap old laptop that does exactly what I need instead of rebuying overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out.
- Who actually rebuys overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out? Clout chasers maybe, but not normal Apple users.
  
  Up until very recently, only Apple had over 5 years of software support on their phones. With others you'd be lucky to get 3 on flagships and yet Apple had 6-7 years on some models. You could use your phone for 3 years, pass it on to a family member and they'd get to use it for another few years, while still getting updates. I'd argue that if you had a Samsung, you would've needed to update more often.
  
  On the computer side they unfortunately do force regular users to upgrade after 6-7 years, which for that market is significantly less than anything running Linux. Of course if you know how to google it, you can get new OS updates for more like 10 if not 15 years. Still scummy. But nobody replaces them annually. Companies replace laptops at 3-4 years usually.
- that will outlast the apple product 100% guaranteed
The ipad would win if it had a usable OS.
slow? with linux?
- I mean, it's an IBM ThinkPad, it is slow. Linux just makes it usable.
  
  I lost my sense of perceiving slowiness after installing linux
- by specs alone
  
  EDIT: the meme had some hyperbole involved to ridicule the ipad
