Macbook Pro vs T61

[CanadianDude]

Which laptop do you think looks better?

[Mr.T]

Are you serious? MBP FTW!

[Wail]

No questions about this ... MBP is by far the sexiest machine out there today, followed by the MB.

Please tell me you are not going to base your buying decision on which one looks better!?

[MYK]

Any Mac would look better than any thinkpad out there.

Yeah... I'm a huge ThinkPad fan and I feel the Macbook (Pro) blows anything Lenovo could dream of making out of the sky...

It's a very, very nice looking notebook, no doubt.

Mac (best looking notebook)
ThinkPads (most boring looking notebooks)

[LFC]

I actually like "boring" simplicity (see sig)

But then the MB(P) seems to be a girl magnet so of course it scores heavily in that category...

I just can't choose!

[CanadianDude]

Yeah I agree, I actually really like the simple, rugged design of the T61. Im not going to buy it based on looks lol, just wanted some other peoples' opinions. It was either my current macbook pro or a T60p, I initailly put an order in for the T60p, but cancelled it due to the fact that I would have to wait for a month. So I ordered the Macbook Pro. Got to me in a week.

MBP... maybe I'm a bit biased, but hell... I've always thought they were best looking, even when I was a mac hater.

IBMs aren't attractive, but they're not ugly like Dells and gateways. Their plain looks convey a nice, professional style.

Yep. I love that they look professional. I'm hate the stereotype that "all teenagers my age do is play games on the computer and nothing useful." I scarcely game on my notebook. The professional look to my ThinkPad kind of breaks down that stereotype... I like that.

Also, I feel Dell, HP, and Gateway notebooks look cheap. Sorry if I'm offending anyone. I personally feel that Apple and Asus make some of the best looking notebooks on the market.
