I was tempted in switching from my 2011 MacBook Pro 13" to a Lenovo T490/x390 with Windows. I got a used x230 for the Thinkpad/Windows experience but didn't like it. Having a double Program Files directory. The messy user directory that is spammed with directories from all kinds of applications. Not knowing where to find a setting in the three options you have. Typing "Update" in the search bar and not seeing a result, only to find out that I need to search for it and then go to the "Apps" tab of the search result. And the popup that my battery was dying every time I booted. Yes I know that already. It all looked messy and overcomplicated.
Ended up getting a Mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15" Retina manufactured in 2017 with 14 battery cycles. Paid €900 for it two weeks ago, refurbished. The hardware is still very fast and the Retina screen is more than adequate for backend software development.
