I was in the same boat as you with some differences:
* 16GB RAM
* ~ 13 inches screen (super portable)
* no Apple (I use to be a big apple user, I wanted something different)
For a work computer, price was not a factor given what we bill daily.
2 series came up:
* Thinkpad X
* Dell XPS
I ended up with a HiDPI 14 inch X1 Carbon running Debian+XFCE. I can't fault the hardware.
In terms of Software though, linux's user interfaces (tried more than XFCE) are not on par with OSX but I'm still very happy.
The Thinkpad are built like tanks and look pro. That settled my choice.
The Dell XPS seem to have really great reviews from users as well.
- nherment 10y agoah apologies, just saw your edit. Look at previous generation laptops with replaceable parts & easy maintenance ?
- GmeSalazar 10y agoHey, I was looking at system76.com. They seem to have some cool machines and their price is good. I will look into thinkpads; they seem to be programmers common choice.
