I have a 4 years old Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, it's running windows though, but I also develop only on Ubuntu through WSL2. So my opinion is more about the hardware than the software.

I also have a 13" MacBook pro M1.

I use the MacBook, because it has a much better battery life, it doesn't get warm, and it's not extremely slow on battery power. The i7 needs to be connected to power to be not annoyingly slow, but then it will cook my legs and genitals.

The ThinkPad has a touchscreen, which is a huge plus for me, but I am not sure the user experience will be great on a full GNU/Linux distribution.

They are both very good laptops, but the MacBook is much better if you can manage Mac os.

Thank's for the info! The WSL2 solution Windows has is pretty perfect, but that is a red line I cannot see me cross at this point :) That should be built into macOS! I hoped that the Carbon would get better ratings, but so far the tendency is pretty clear pro Macbook..
