One of the things I look for is build quality. I picked up an HP Spectre x360[1]. It plays rough with other laptops. I had my plastic-cased Lenovo in the same bag - it came out with battle wounds.

In general I have found that laptops are generally 'fast enough' for the dev I'm doing and creature comforts such as battery life, keyboard, screen, and case quality are far more important.
