I have been using this for about a month and I love it. The screen looks great, the keyboard is great, the trackpad is great (I have been using Lenovos for ~20 years and though I couldn't live without the trackpoint). The battery life is more than enough for my usage during my daily commute and way better than the mere 1.5 hours I could squeeze out of my old Thinkpad P1.
I genuinely don't think there is anything I would want changed on this laptop.
- alex_x 6mo agowhat's your average battery life?
- ulrikrasmussen 6mo agoI am not sure since I have never gotten to zero. But I would think I could easily get 6-7 hours out of it, although it depends a lot on the type of work I do and whether I am in meetings. I use IntelliJ and run heavy test suites all the time, and that does drain the battery faster.
- komadori 6mo agoWould you like to have a version with a TrackPoint even if you have managed to live without it? With all these boutique laptop brands, I hope that one of them will eventually produce a pointing stick keyboard offer a route off Lenovo.
- ulrikrasmussen 6mo agoI feared that I would miss it too much, but after a week I stopped reaching for it with my finger.
- krunck 6mo agoNever. I'd rather use an external mouse than use a track pad.
- vb-8448 6mo agoHow does it compare to a MacBook Pro? (if you ever used one) I'm looking get rid of my MacBook Pro, and I'd like to switch to a Linux laptop, but I'm really worried about battery and trackpad.
- ulrikrasmussen 6mo agoI have never owned an Apple product, but I have helped other people from time to time. It's hard to say because I'm not used to it, but the trackpad feels really snappy and precise, and the 120hz display also helps making it feel really smooth when scrolling

- marknutter 6mo agoCan't you run linux on a macbook pro?
- jdhawk 6mo agonot well
- ulrikrasmussen 6mo agoI would not do that, mostly because Apple is, and always has been, doing what they can to create locked down platforms which are the antithesis of digital autonomy. Being able to run a different operating system is and never will be something they will actively support, and I will only expect that that possibility will go away in the future if they ever feel that it would threaten their amount of control. I will never transact with the company for that reason alone.
