When Thinkpads have turned out to be pretty much the same in those terms, you might as well just use the cheaper and more durable product. Apple at least has more confidence in its lines than Lenovo (who wouldn't bother defering drastic changes at the whims of MBA "market researches") does.

"Business" laptops have all gone down in a race to the bottom in my opinion. If you want to see innovations in the laptop space today, Gaming laptops is where it's at.

This is pretty much true. Unfortunately this comes with the downside of high heat from the video card , but I suppose if you buy a gaming laptop for the sole purpose of business, that wouldn’t be a problem.

There are many gaming laptops that are more serviceable than business laptops. However, they also tend to be heavier.

It’s a trade off I guess

> However, they also tend to be heavier.

Sure, but 95% of business laptop use is sitting on a desk somewhere.

The other 5% being carried to/from a couple of conference rooms and/or a car.
