I'm happy with the 16GB i7 1.4ghz (turbo to 3.6ghz) Macbook. It's retina. It's less than 1kg (2 lbs.). It has between 7-10hrs battery; I can work the entire long haul London to NYC/PHL no problem. I can load a big data set into memory and crunch; I can work on a web app in all the different browsers that I need to (Parallels is brilliant). I have docker. I have Powerpoint. I close the laptop, it goes to sleep. I open the laptop it's awake. I didn't even realise this was still a problem in 2017 until I tried some Windows laptops for a few months (a dell XPS and an HP EliteBook). WiFi kicks on fast; easily within a second of opening the laptop. If I choose my phone from the WiFi menu, it turns on the tethering. If I disconnect, it turns it off. The low travel on the keyword feels weird, but it doesn't affect my typing speed. Each key feels distinct, unlike the squishy feeling I get on the HP or even my older Macbook Air.
