What model do you have? Do you like it?

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?

  •  I'm spoilt as I do Linux enablement on a lot of our platforms and so get to play with a lot of them :) My experiences are skewed by how well Linux runs on them but I tend to work my systems pretty hard

    My goto daily driver is the P1 series. Currently on the P1G3 and my only complaint is the fans seem to be over enthusiastic (working with the firmware/thermal team on that one). Otherwise it handles everything I throw at it really well without any complaints.

    I use the X1 Carbon series quite a bit over the last few years. From a work point of view it can get a bit bogged down with multiple displays, doing linux kernel builds (can be CPU intensive) and video calls at the same time - but it keeps going and it's a really nice piece of HW. Having 32G RAM on the X1C9 is great. Love the hires screen too

    I recently started using the X1 Nano as my 'watch netflix on the sofa in the evening' system. Really like it - screen is a bit small for my normal usage (13") but it's a really nice piece of HW with great performance. I hadn't paid it much attention and it's surprised me.

    - I'm very fond of my T14 G1 AMD. Been using it as the family system for doing online classes for the kids and it's a solid system for developing on. From a Linux point of view it doesn't play nice with my thunderbolt dock or monitor so doesn't get as much use as it would otherwise which is a shame. It's given me a few Linux support headaches but I still love it.

    - A shout out for the M90n. Amazing tiny device that I have hooked up to the TV and with an external drive hanging of it that I use as a home media center (running Lychee as a photo server and Plex for media). That thing has been up and running for forever just doing it's thing.
