I moved from a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports, i5, 8GB, 1TB SSD) to an Lenovo L15 Gen 1 (15", Ryzen R3, 20 GB, 1TB SSD) which I bought for less of a fourth of the price of the MBP.
| L15 | MacBook Pro | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 550€ (2023) | 2300€ (2017) | Much more bang for the buck |
| 1 USB-C-Port, 2 USB-A-Ports, 1 HDMI-Port, SD-Card-Slot, Ethernet-Port | 2 USB-C-Port | |
| 15" Display | 13" Display | I'm 47 now, my (short-range) vision is getting worse. 15" is much more desirable than 13"! |
| Useless Numeric-Keypad, less clever cursor-keys, stupid PrtScrn-Key. Del-Key unreachable. Great feel on key presses. | Great keyboard, but series defect. | PC's Keyboard-Layout in general is stupid. Can be mitigated with highly configurable KDE keyboard settings. The insanely expensive MBP has a faulty keyboard. The whole series has. Shame on you, Apple! |
| Battery life is quite good. Not as good as the MBP had (…once…)… | The battery if the MBP died after less than 3 years...with that price-tag…unbelievable. |
