I moved from a 2015 MBP to a ThinkPad T470s. I am very happy with the hardware and even get along with Windows, now that WSL is a thing. I was using Homebrew for package management and its so much nicer to have apt.

I hear they've gotten much better, but they used to be really really bad so I'm not sure how they compare now. 2) It's unclear to me exactly how WSL would affect workflow. Are you able to basically pretend that Windows has native bash, or are there caveats like there are in Cygwin?
- llampx 7y agoI've used a post-2016 MBP Trackpad only in passing and found it infuriating how many phantom touches it registered. With the ThinkPad I mainly use the Trackpoint and sometimes the Trackpad for gestures. No complaints however it was nicer to click anywhere on the MBP Trackpad whereas you have to aim your clicks more on the ThinkPad. WSL is not Cygwin, it is so much better its not funny.
