Hey /g/,

I've had a Macbook Pro throughout my past four years at undergrad and want to get a new laptop before i go back to school for an MSEE. My first thought is to get an MBAir or rMBP but I worry they may be underpowered or too expensive to be worth it. I like Apple because of their hardware and because OS X is very clean and UNIX-like. I am very used to Windows as well and I do not like it as much, but I know I will need it for some EE programs anyway. Overall, I want good battery life, a nice screen, and a small frame. A relatively powerful processor (at least i5) and a discrete GPU would be nice as well (another reason not to get an Apple).

TL;DR convince me I should get a Thinkpad, Zenbook, or something else similar instead of another Apple

Don't let me down /g/

PREEMPTIVE STRIKE

Why are you a leftist liberal drone, /g/?

I've started to enjoy linux on my Laptop (currently using xubuntu) but I still have one issue, for college I need to be able to view, edit and submit in a format that works 100% for Microsoft Office.

From your experience which software has the best compatibility with Microsoft Office formats out of Libre Office, Google Docs and Open office etc?

Is there anything better?

When did you grow out of Intel processors, /g/?

Ricky Matthew Stallman (born March 16, 1953), often known by his crazy-ass muthafuckin initials, rms, be a American software freedom activist n' computer programmer yo. Dude campaigns fo' tha freedom ta use, study, distribute n' modify software; software dat ensures these freedoms legally (via its license) is termed free software yo. Dude distinguishes his wild lil' fuckin efforts up in tha free software movement from dem of tha open source movement n' emphasizes dat his thugged-out lil' posizzle be bout freedom n' ethics. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Stallman opposes proprietary software, dat is, software which denies dem freedoms all up in activation keys, donglez, copy restriction, Tivoization n' other such hardware restrictions, proprietary formats n' binary executablez without source code n' thus forces its playas tha fuck into a role of dependence n' even addiction on its supplier yo. Dude objects ta tha bust of binary blobs up in open source projects such Linux Foundation Linux kernel n' advocates Linux-libre as a alternative. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Since tha mid-1990s, Stallman has dropped most of his cold-ass time advocatin fo' free software, as well as campaignin against software patents, digital muthafuckin rights management, n' what tha fuck da perved-out muthafucka sees as excessive extension of copyright laws yo. Dude generally opposes technologizzle or bidnizz practices dat encourage vendor lock-in.
