I am in the UK, and I've only found startups willing to spend money on developer hardware. The larger companies seem to pick up low-end Lenovos for developers, and better i7 Lenovos for those managers who would never use them.
Though I would gladly dump the MacBook Pro 16" I currently have to use for work in an instant for a high-end Lenovo/Dell. Apart from MacOS being extremely flakey these days (why does Spotlight only seem to pop up 50% of the time), I don't understand why they don't provide proper ISO and instead give us some form of ANSI that has the dancing alien (§) dedicated key, and why they hide the # which as a Pro developer I use all the time.
That it also spends its entire time overheating so it burns my lap is just the icing on the cake.
- solstice 6y agoShot in the dark here but have you tried to charge it from the other side?

- happymellon 6y agoNo, switching the charging did nothing for me or any of my colleagues. But when I used a MacBook Pro about 10 years ago the machine overheated all the time and burnt my lap. They are just a shitty design, but they look pretty.
- ngcazz 6y agoI recommend using the PC layout.
- happymellon 6y agoThey keyboard is still wrong, and doesn't match the layout. Plus it seems to disable the switch between windows in the same app.
