bumiHey Internet, I need a new laptop. which one? Macbook (Pro), Lenovo X1 or do you have any recommendations?
HRH ginsterbusch@bumi next on the wishlist: decent or a really great display? in the latter case, HP seems to be taking the lead these days. thinkpad got more conservative display choices (note: its thinkpad, not just lenovo! thinkpad is a separate brand and manufacturing process than the rest of say, eg. the ideapad. there is no lenovo x1, just a (lenovo) thinkpad x1). /2
@ginsterbusch thanks a lot! super helpful! I am currently happy on a early 2014 MB Air. But the display is broken now and so I thought this is finally a good moment to switch to a linux machine again. I am doing "normal" development stuff. need to sync some blockchains sometimes but actually don't have special requirements - most valuable is small size and the good battery.
Today I am leaning towards a Dell XPS 13" - a bit cheaper than the thinkpad. any thoughts on that one?

@bumi depends. brand spanking new or second hand / refurbished? there also was a comparison thread on thinkpad-forum about this specific brand vs t470 or so. gonna dig it up later on ;)
@bumi well, the reviews for the dell xps 15 are at least not that bad. they (in thinkpad-forum.de) lean towards to "a good replacement" for Thinkpad. Also: the "Precision 5520" is the business machine equivalent to the XPS 15. But on the other side, the x240 looks twice as powerful as the XPS 13. Refurbished Versions even contain FHD displays .. which can come handy with website development (ie. previewing and stuff).
