System76 Bonobo. My day job involves cloud (k8s) GPU stuff and it's the only linux laptop I could find with two Nvidia GPUs. The trackpad sucks ass, the power connector is stupid. It's full of batteries that only provide an hour (max) of battery and it's only a laptop in the sense that it can (technically) fit on my lap.

A coworker recently got the single GPU Serval, and I could see using that daily. Ubuntu 18.04 is a great desktop OS. I have tentative plans to take apart my Bonobo, remove the batteries, put power supplies inside with a standard power plug out the back and cut out the trackpad and fit in an Apple trackpad.

LXD+QEMU makes it a pretty nice machine. I almost don't miss OSX and this [0] project has solved a lot of those issues.
