I accidentally dropped my work 2015 MBP a few months back and broke the screen. Actually, I'm not even certain the screen was dead, but the display wouldn't turn on any more. Unfortunately, work wouldn't let me keep/fix it (which is super annoying), but they did offer me the choice of a new MBP or a slightly loved older 2015 MBP. I chose the latter. For my home laptop, I'm finally getting around to replacing my mid-2009 MBP and decided to go with a Lenovo X1 Carbon Extreme. I'm so annoyed at Apple at this point that I figure it's time to go back and give Linux another shot.

Linux support on laptops is much more mature than it was 5 years ago. I'd still avoid anything with an nVidia Optimus setup, but Intel graphics has had decent drivers on Linux for a long time now. I was a little worried about hardware support, so I bought a Dell laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed. Pretty much everything worked out of the box. But my friends tell me that the Linux experience is good with other laptops too.
