My personal laptop is a Macbook Pro 2015 but for work, I've got an HP ZBook Studio G3 (i7-7820HQ/32GB RAM/256GB SSD) which is quite nice.
The ZBook is Windows 10 Enterprise but surprisingly, it's been not bad to use. I run the Linux subsystem which has come a long way since the beta.
My only real complaints are no support for hardware keys (ie if Git signs w/ a private key on your Yubikey) and, by default, no support for the open command. There's way to get it to work on the Windows partition but no dice for the Linux dirs.
There's quite nice interoperability too like the Linux docker CLI being able to connect to the Windows daemon. Annoyingly, there's a bug where it fails so you gotta restart Docker once on boot up.
As a CLI fan, all 3 flavours (Win/Mac/Linux) feel the same at this point. It's basically your pick of OS around it (file explorer/window chrome etc) if you ask me.
I like the Macbooks but as someone who has run one for a while, I kinda miss having a mobile GPU and like you mentioned, the slimming down of ports and that is a pain in the butt.
