I largely agree--the post definitely seems to show its age, and explicitly doesn't really cover any laptops besides the Dell Precision 5540 vs. the Thinkpad P1.

Not the author's fault--this is a great reason why post's dates are useful, but I think that any current review of the Linux development laptop landscape has to include options like the Framework or System76 offerings and exclude models like the x230 (no shade at the x230; I ran it as a Linux dev machine for several years, but it's now significantly handicapped for modern software development).
