I can't believe the amount of people who don't realize the Lenovo X1 Carbon (version 6) is the powerhouse computer they've all been looking for. It's linux compatible for devs. The only reason most devs are tied to OSX is because of tooling. Mainly brew.

I bought the new x1 carbon and am never looking back to Apple.

It's not brew. Linux package managers are much better than brew, IMO. It's the fact that everything works out of the box and great build quality which makes devs use OSX.

16gb memory limit, lower rez screen than 15" macbook pro native.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the Dell XPS 15" 9570. Its CPU and memory blows anything Lenovo is releasing this year out of the water.
