I'm going to switch my daily driver operating system from macOS to Arch Linux, but Apple has some pretty steep walls making it difficult for me to escape the Apple ecosystem.

ThinkPads have great keyboards, decent trackpads, useful 'TrackPoint' pointing sticks, but not the greatest displays. The X1 Carbon and X1 Extreme lineup are high sought after, however battery life is a down-side and they're a bit pricy. The ThinkPad P series have mediocre displays. |
