The what you use thing is a fun one, I subconsciously equate people using Thinkpads as proper engineers over anything else including Mac books.
What makes this even funnier is I use a big 17" dell vostro (it had a better spec per price to Thinkpads).
Funny the biases we all carry.

It did look that way to me too in the nineties/early 00s, but not so sure anymore. I equate them more with "Microsoft shops" now. I mean in most programming conferences, from web to functional, most alpha devs/presenters have Macbooks, and I'd say those are proper engineers. Heck, even Torvalds used a G5, an iBook (back in the day) and a couple of Macbook Airs for his computing (running Linux) -- though recently he got a Chromebook.
