Really? I have the 2013 Macbook Air and it's a very capable machine with Linux installed. Last time I used a Thinkpad the build quality didn't impress me.

He asked for performance not for build quality. Anyway I think you are talking about appearance quality 'cause I find hard to say that the thikpads are not the top scorer in build quality these days.

I found the keyboard and plastic exterior to feel "cheap" on the recent model I tried. They used to be rock-solid though.
