Even after IBM sold the division I still think ThinkPad are among the best. I use Mac now but if I had to get a PC, that’s what I would buy.

Thinkpad for sure, and if you can get your hands on an AI PC go for it

MacBook Pro is my pick.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.
