I have TWO: - MacBook Pro 13 inch, 2017 - Lenovo Carbon X1, 2020 running Debian Testing

I got the Lenovo because my Mac would freeze during Teams calls. I later found out this is only happening if my Logitech MX Master 3 mouse and my Sony WX1000MX3 are connected at the same time! I did not fully switch to Lenovo because I hate the (lack of) fractional scaling. I mostly use either laptop docked, connected to a 4K screen at home or 1440p at the office

Minitower, Intel i5 quad core, 32GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 2 x 2TB spinning rust, Debian Bullseye, 3 x 1920x1080 LCDs, mech KB.

Since I work at a desk, I don't see the point in using an expensive notebook that becomes obsolete in a couple of years and is hard to repair or upgrade.

16" MacBook Pro M1 Max 10coreGPU, 32coreGPU, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD.

I can't even find this model on apple.com, it costs close to €4.000.

I use it to SSH, and log in to a VNC session.

At least it's heavy.
