X1 Carbon if you don't need >16GB RAM. Otherwise P52 if you don't mind running Windows or Linux with NVidia binary drivers - 3K USD gets you 6core i7, 4K display, 32GB RAM 2x512GB NVME / 500GB spinning. That's without deals - which there always are.
- skoskie 8y agoHell yes, that P52 sounds great! I only wish I could use AMD graphics so I could run OSX for a while … just to help with the transition. I moved to Mac in 2001 after frustration with Windows ME and then XP. Now, I’m having frustration with multiple hardware generations on Mac, and it’s clearly time to make a change. To say I’m in the walled garden is an understatement. Getting out of the Apple ecosystem is going to take time , plenty of money, patience, and I assume lot’s of sacrifice (I really don’t want to give up my trackpad). I don’t even know where to start, but I suppose buying a new laptop and finding a good distro (thinking Deepin) to put on it will be the best starting point. Edit: And then he saw the P1.
- basch 8y agoX1 Extreme and P1 fill a void between the X1 and P52. More ram, but lighter.
