I am always curious as to what laptop models others are using and what features they like best!
So what are you using? How did you chose it? How long have you had it and what do you like most/least about it?

So-oo-oo-o, I finally had to trash my Thinkpad last year because the operating system was no longer supported and it was too old to upgrade the operating system. I had to go with a brand X; ASUS. Hurt…
I have a T495 S ThinkPad laptop and I really enjoy it. I love how slim and portable it is and how smooth the keys are. I also love my built-in video camera cover!
I am a software developer for several decades and have used Thinkpads for a couple of them now. Our software runs on Red Hat Linux and Thinkpads have always been very accepting of current releases of Fedora…
I currently have an IdeaPad L340. It was chosen by my boss, but he failed to realize that it didn't have a touch screen. That would be my major change on the next model I get. The only real problem that I have is wireless communication. I try to use my I-Phone for a hotspot when I have connectivity issues with my Xfinity wi-fi. It never picks up the I-Phone hotspot unless I direct connect via USB. I also occasionally have issues with my wireless printer. Anyone else have similar issues? I like it's portability and has many strong points, but this seems to be a weak spot. I agree Beth, that the video cam cover is a big plus!
Thanks, Joe

I am a software developer for several decades and have used Thinkpads for a couple of them now. Our software runs on Red Hat Linux and Thinkpads have always been very accepting of current releases of Fedora and CentOS. So accepting, in fact, that I have been suspicious that the Linux developers use them (ha, ha). I am currently using: X280 (Fedora 33), X260 (CentOS 7.8), and X240 (W10). No VM's just install the OS's on each one as the only system
As far as printers I use Xerox Workcenter at the office and HP 4630 wirelessly at home with both Linux & W10
Also, no problems ever using cell phone hot spot with both Linux & W10
