You&#x27;re absolutely right.  It&#x27;s certainly not a fair comparison at all, they&#x27;re very different machines and I was satisfying different needs when I purchased each one.<p>For the sake of fairness, the rough specs are:<p>The ThinkPad:<p>* Lenovo ThinkPad x131e, 11.6&quot;, purchased late 2013
* Core i3-3277U processor
* 8GB RAM (aftermarket upgrade)
* 500GB spinny drive
* OpenSUSE Leap 42.1
* Embedded graphics
* Firefox browser<p>The MacBook Pro:<p>* Mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15&quot;
* Core i7 - dual core, not sure which model
* 8GB RAM (aftermarket upgrade)
* 512GB SSD (aftermarket upgrade)
* MacOS 10.11.4
* Embedded and discrete graphics
* Safari browser<p>So yeah, it&#x27;s hardly an apples-to-apples comparison.
