What socialist laptop do you recommend?

Last time I checked RMS' approved laptop list there was like one 10yo ThinkPad model you could maybe buy refurbished. So lets add anti-capitalist requirements to that...



Old ThinkPads still work great as it happens, but these days I use an MNT Reform. MacBooks definitely aren't the only option!


> What socialist laptop do you recommend?

You have options other than Macbooks. The communist kid with a Macbook is a meme for a reason, they're out of touch. It's absurd to call oneself a communist or socialist while buying one of the most expensive options from one of the biggest companies.

What a different example? It's easier to take a communist/socialist who drives a basic Corolla seriously than one who drives a BMW.


Sure. As a luxary goods, ye.

There was this time when "M$" was still a thing and Macintosh computers were contrarian though.

I feel it is somewhat of a nitpick concerning socialists. The picture of a class room of students with "Think different" caption and all MacBooks. Yupp.

I would argue not using FOSS software is worse than using Apple hardware. But normal people kinda don't know Linux is a thing they can use.
