Neither. Get a Dell Latitude or XPS

How well do windows performs in ARM computers?

Do this, but get from dell outlet. You can prob find refurb / scratch and dent for a big discount.

They also still come with a warranty

Thinkpad.
If you get 8gb ram and a decent processor the thinkpad won't be any slower.
The fact that everyone else uses it doesn't mean you should, and it won't even "work better" with other macfags. All that will accomplish is you limiting what your laptop can do.

What are you studying in college? If you only want it for basic office then go for what is cheaper

If you want the mac qualities, but you're a budget get a XPS 13 refurbished. Keyboard probably sucks, though not more than a Macbook's.
>Everybody uses a mac, so it will work better with everyone else
I don't understand this, first of all Windows laptops are way more common than OS X. Second, why would anyone need to work on your laptop?

Not OP but what about Computer Science.

Thinkpad. Just make sure the resolution is not 1366

>>54580032
Just make sure you have the inputs you want in a computer.
I was excited about my new macbook only to find that it doesn't have a disc input.
I like mac but they are fascists so idk

IBM memepad

OS X feels a lot like Linux but made for desktops and for real humans by real designers to use. I love Linux and I love OS X. I went from a thinkpad x220 running linux to an rmbp running osx and I'm very happy I did.

Also, the rmbp is competitively priced given the PCIe SSD, nice display, etc. Make sure you get your educational discount among other things if possible.

>doesnt come packed with asian backdoors
What? Are you implying an old thinkpad is packed with Asian backdoors? Because if so, you're retarded
>Not to mention the thinkpad... can run win7 and any Linux distros I want
So can the mac you dumbfuck
