Love my Thinkpad T15G:
- No major issues in Manjaro
- discrete graphics (3080 mobile).
Using the proprietary driver, graphics switching seems to work pretty well.
- 128gb ECC ram (has xeon 11xxxm)
- durable; survived around 45 flights; runs 120 hours a week.
- trackpoint!
- fits into a normal backpack
- the hulking mass builds core strength while traveling
Cons:
- Battery "life" is more like insurance against yoinking the charger.
- don't leave on lap under heavy load if you're a male hoping to maintain fertility
- not really easy to clean and keep clean; something about the rubberized finish gets noticeably dirty after a few hours of use following a thorough scrub, but I might also be a bit oilier than the average duck.
Aesthetically it's just the right amount of boring, but I know most like something a little sleeker.
Edit: formatting and additional con: Lenovo pricing is obscene without playing games using coupons, corporate portals, etc.
