I have a top of the line System76 Laptop collecting dust.
Completely broken multi monitor support (yes I tried the support route), it overheats underload, it fails to sleep properly, its extremely heavy and is made out of cheap plastic, and the keyboard well…
On the otherhand my Macbook Pro is a superb dev machine.
